ABC: Obama 'Unaware of Tea Parties'

Maybe he just doesn’t know that there are people who disagree with his massive tax and spend agenda. That would explain a lot. Perhaps the network media’s near silence on the “tea party” phenomenon has kept President Obama from realizing that hundreds of tax day protests will happen today?

“The White House says the president is unaware of the tea parties and will hold his own event today,” ABC’s Dan Harris said on “Good Morning America” on April 15.

Harris’s story was the first ABC News report specifically about the tea parties since Rick Santelli’s of CNBC’s famous rant calling for a Chicago Tea Party back in February. CNBC’s Joe Kernen referred to Santelli’s impact on spurring the tea parties as a “cultural phenomenon.”

Santelli reacted on April 15 to the hundreds of protests scheduled for tax day around the country saying “I’m pretty proud of this.”

NBC also addressed the tea parties in passing on April 15 “Today.” Chuck Todd dismissed the protests as “so-called” tea parties and said “the idea hasn’t really caught on.”

It's extremely unlikely that Obama is unaware of the Tea Parties that happened today. But if he is, that would be a good thing. Ignorance/stupidity on the part of your enemies should be celebrated and encouraged.

“Chuck Todd dismissed the protests as “so-called” tea parties and said “the idea hasn’t really caught on.”

Chuck Todd, who entered the contest “The Fat and Uglier Version of Lenin” and won, also hasn’t caught on. He will soon be feautured in commercials as an ingredient in dog food. After that, Todd intends to pursue a career as tire skid marks in a yet unnamed police TV drama.

From the guy who went on ESPN and knew every stat of most of the NCAA teams in the brackets,
every player, their strengths and weaknesses,
the benches, injuries, etc.
Barry obviously considers himself the president of some of the people, but, not all of the people.
Flip this to some obscure liberal protest during the Bush years .
If this type of ignorance was claimed from President Bush’s White House ,
the media would claim GW was out of touch, stupid and uncaring.

Sadly, my namesake sister, I am not convinced that he has to listen to anyone. He seems to be doing quite well exacting his agenda on this nation.

If Obama is that 'unaware' of the tea parties today, he needs to be declared as being too mentally unfit to hold public office.

If Obama is "unaware of any Tea Parties", then why did he have his Department of Homeland Security declare conservatives as potential terrorists and racists?

He is aware. He is afraid, and he is lashing out (well, he and his friends in the MSM).

Oh, make no mistake he heard us today, and it will get deafening, little by little the TEA PARTY Tsunami WILL grow. He is not invincible, no one is that big. He is simply the Peter Principle to the MAX, and his arrogance will destroy him all by himself. Pride cometh before a fall.
