Obama and the Tea Bag crowd

In Missouri at his 100 day mark the President said:

"Those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I'm not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around, Obama said, “let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we are going to stabilize Social Security.” “But,” Obama continued, “let's not play games and pretend that the reason [for the deficit] is because of the Recovery Act."

A few thoughts here:

1. I thought the White House was unconcerned about these Tea parties as he and his press machines attempted to marginalize them while they were going on. Now his feeling are hurt because not everyone loves him. What a wimp.

2. When is that "serious conversation" going to happen? Since he views the tea bag people with such condescending disstain, it's unlikely this conversation will ever happen.

3. To be such a highly edcuated person, he's really stupid if he believes people are not upset over the size of the Recovery Act. He's the one playing the games for trying to divert the focus from the central issue of the size of government.

4. Speaking of Social Security, exactly how is Obama going to solve that little issue? He's been silent on that topic.

Yea- I know. I misspelled his name, but not his sentiment. He has defected to the dark side of the political spectrum. The Democrats are now the "Tee Ball Party". They want everyone to win, but not keep score. They just want to spread the wealth, open up our borders, be gadflies for the most stupid of causes (see Global Warming).

Spector is a coward. He switched teams because he sensed he was losing.

He is a loser.

Jon Stewart - Profiles in Cowardice

If you watch and listen to Jon Stewart's show very much, please note that the show is shown on the COMEDY CENTRAL network. That alone should demonstrate the cowardice of Mr. Stewart in that his forum for his fake news program is the centerpiece of a comedy program. I get the sense that Mr. Stewart is bulletproof from the main stream media criticism. Goodness knows that splicing together sound bites from people he disagrees with, then having his team of comedy writers write witty, snarkey comments is truly the foundation of meaningful discourse. The show is written for the 3rd grade level (on a good day) for an MTV generation of drones and zombies. Thankfully, not all of the MTV generation of drones fall for this fake news and analysis comedy show, so there may be hope after all.

You see, the cowardice of Mr. Stewart is that he stays secluded with the confines of the comedy show and looks down his elitist nose at people who disagree with him. He doesn't come down from his mountaintop because to do so would put him in the same non-teleprompter world as the rest of us. No comedy writers, no help from his yes people.

I will give Mr. Stewart credit in one area though. He has marketed himself much like Sham Wow.
He just soaks up the praise for his deep thoughts and never gets full.
