Obama – from being “unaware” of April 15th tea parties, to talking them down on his 100th day in office! July 4th, 2009 tea parties are on!

At his 100th-day town hall meeting in St. Louis, Hussein Obama decided to take direct aim at those  anti-tax “tea party” from April 15th, that he originally said “he was unaware of”.  From Politico:

Asked about fiscal discipline and entitlements reform, Obama seemed to be repressing a smile as he jabbed critics of his spending plans.

“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.”

It’s the president’s most direct response so far to the protests that flared up in some locations around tax day, on April 15.

Oh BTW, he National Leadership Team of the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition (http://www.nationwideteapartycoalition.com) today has accepted President Obama`s invitation “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.” Amazing for someone who didn’t ever hear about them two weeks ago huh?
