Obama Mocks Tea Party Protesters (like a 12 yr. old)
How immature – what a leader! Blames Bush again…
Obama Admits to Getting ‘Tea-bagged’
President Obama admitted to Representative Eric Cantor that he had been tea-bagged. The Obama administration stated that they were unaware of any Tea Party protests on April 15th, where over 1.5 million across the country gathered to protest the national debt, the lack of real representation and ethics in the beltway and the threat of creeping socialism. The left-wing media used their time during the protest day to mock those who attended them. They showed no restraint or objectivity during these protests by making lude sexual innuendos, especially calling the protesters tea-baggers.
If the president did not feel as though these protests were such a big deal then why feel the need to mention receipt of tea-bags? It appears that someone got tea-bagged! Great job protesters!
But headed for a meeting with the president at the White House Thursday, Cantor and other House Republican leaders couldn’t resist picking at the scab. They sent Obama a letter praising him for his “common-sense idea” that “Washington can work together for the American people instead of for political parties” — but also claiming that Democratic leaders in Congress had “ignored your call for a new era of bipartisanship in Washington.”
That’s what started the face-to-face bickering with the president.
At the White House meeting — Cantor was the last of the Republican leaders to arrive — Obama brought up the letter and noted that not a single House Republican had backed his economic stimulus bill. According to a firsthand account of the meeting, Cantor took exception: “With all due respect, Mr. President, we offered you ideas on the stimulus plan directly, and they were ignored completely.”
Cantor suggested that if he were to view the stimulus negotiations through a partisan lens, he would argue Democrats started the “party of no” name-calling about the same time that Obama was meeting with House Republicans to discuss the stimulus plan.
Obama pointedly reminded Cantor that he was the president — and that he reserves the right to disagree with whatever cuts the Republican whip recommends.
The brief exchange was friendly and respectful, both sides said afterward.
“Cantor was very direct — but very respectful and courteous,” according to a White House aide. “The president was similarly blunt but spoke with a smile. Cantor smiled back.”
There’s room for compromise. During the meeting, Cantor told Obama and the assembled congressional leaders that Americans are growing increasingly frustrated by the government’s size, scope and management decisions. Obama acknowledged that, in recent weeks, he has received tea bags from Americans upset by the government’s decision to spend trillions of dollars shoring up the economy.
I feel like we need to get out the mats, graham crackers and apple juice for those on Capitol Hill. I at least hope Obama enjoyed my celestial seasonings, chamomile tea 
5 Democrat Representatives Arrested Outside Sudanese Embassy During Protests
Let me be the first to say how proud I am of the Maryland representative…sarc!
The Boston Globe is reporting that five U.S. lawmakers have been arrested in a protest outside the Sudanese Embassy. The Representatives are James McGovern of Massachusetts, prominent civil rights activist John Lewis of Georgia, Donna Edwards of Maryland, Lynn Woolsey of California, and Keith Ellison of Minnesota. All were led away in handcuffs after they had refused to move to the other side of yellow police tape. The protest was prompted by the decision by the Sudanese President to expel aid workers from 16 agencies. The protesters are pressing for the U.S. and international partners — most importantly China, which has considerable influence in Sudan — to demand an end to the violence in the region. The lawmakers will likely be released this afternoon.
Did anyone recall protestors at the tea party rallies being handcuffed, arrested or violating any laws? Funny how the called the Tea Partiers unhinged but these lawmakers, being Democrats, will probably get passes and some liberal spin to make an excuse.
Did You Attend Tea Party Protests? NH Democrat Party Chair Says You Were Part of Unhinged Mob
I don’t recall being unhinged do any of you? I actually had a lot of fun and met some very nice people who all were in agreement on the unfortunate direction of this government and the incessantly growing government. It seemed to me that most of the protesters knew exactly why they were there, I find it funny that the New Hampshire Party Chair and none of the other Democrats are getting it. Sad.
Here are some examples of the Tea Parties:

Who, may I ask, is unhinged?
