Sporting his brand new tattoo, Today Show Co-Host Matt Lauer interviewed President Obama on his show this morning. Typical of the president he blame much of the disagreement over his programs on the Media (especially cable and the blogs) and Republicans for not telling the entire truth about the benefits of his plans.

The President reserved his harshest passive/aggressive criticism for the American People in the form of the Grass Roots Tea Party movement. While he said many of the people in the Tea Party movement had legitimate concerns, he said over and over at its core the Tea Party is built around a "core group" of people who question whether he is a U.S. citizen and believe he is a socialist.

That would be me.

We don’t “think” he’s a socialist, we KNOW he’s a communist. Silly us, we were wrong.

[Psycho_Bunny]

You are.

[Oceander]

The "protector" now begins the transformation into the "tyrant" - as Plato described several millenia ago. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

[Blue Turtle]

I love it when the President talks about me on national tv with the greatest, toughest interviewer in the WORLD, Matt Lauer.

[GonzoGOP]

The only convincing argument that I have heard that Obama is not a socialist, was that he is in fact a Marxist.

[screaminsunshine]

Actually they are taxpayers and he is a communist.

Methinks the lady-boy doth protest too much"

Sounds about right, except I would use the word fascist instead of socialist. Good thing I wasn’t interviewing him, I would have said, “Let’s see true and true, so what exactly is your point?”

[Lockbar]

"That would be me."

Me too, Hey, look over here, I'm waving my arms! ;-)

[Oldpuppymax]

Well...he IS a socialist/Marxist/America hating fascist. And why has he SEALED his birth certificate? Next question.

[Osage Orange]

What was Liar's tattoo?

A picture of Obama?

[GOPJ]

Remember when George Bush whined about MoveOn.org calling him a draft dodger? Oh wait - he acted like a man about his "loonies"...

Then again the MSM wouldn't have carried water for President Bush if he had objected. They would have jumped all over him.... effing double standard.

[Vendome]

Weird. If I were in his position I would never allow those questions. I would say skip it or no more interview.

[DManA]

and people who think he's a socialist.

Well, yea. What's his point?

[CPT Clay]

As if he would know.

[DManA]

WRONG!!! He’s a fascist.

[Vendome]

“That would be me.”

“Me too, Hey, look over here, I’m waving my arms! ;-)”

“ME TOO!”

[Howie66]

Frankly, the BC issue is a moot point as far as I’m concerned.

Now, is Stroker a Socialist? I don’t think so.

Marxist/Maoist?

You betcha!

Go to hell, Stroker.
