So he de-legtitimized almost 50% of the House of Representatives and (by some polling) more than 50% of the American people. Apart from the implied obscenity and the callous arrogance of this man one has to wonder about his political acumen. Does he honestly think that the American people will ignore his slur in the next elections?
Funny, most of those "anti-government" people voted Bush into office, twice. Seems those ones have a problem looking beyond the (R) to see how pro-government Bush actually was. Sheeps, voting against your interests.

Now, over 50% of the American people are teabaggers? "by some polls" ya I get it.

Obama tried to work with everyone, but since the repubs only wanted to naysay everything (since it's not for their lobbyist interests), he realized they could not be worked with and that their only objective is to be as big a hurdle as possible. The opposition party, for the status quo.

Soon they will be labelled "domestic terrorists" ..I have seen a few references to that but not mainstream yet.

The propaganda is definitely flowing ...the administration wants any association with "tea bag" to be bad news, anti American.

Why can they just not let it be..no administration is perfect and all have their protesters.

They're being marginalized because they suck at protesting. Congratulations.

Conservatives weren't quite about Bush. Neocons were the ones that liked Bush.

Conservatives couldn't help it if they didn't get much press coverage.

Look at him and you can see the ass in him.

If someone cannot see the idiot is destroying us from within then they need some help.

He is a complete failure and an embarrassment to our country.

He is an anti American idiot who needs to be removed from this job before it is too late.

Obama has not tried to work with Republicans. My local congressman repeatedly attemtted to meet with the President to go over sickcare legislation with him line by line. Just like Obama said he would.

The president's office has never got back with him.
