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.”

This is so funny. Napolitano issues that farce of a DHS warning, and Obama doesn’t know about this?

LMAO

He knows about it, and is livid that such a thing could be taking place under his perfect administration.

He won’t be able to keep quiet about it, and he will tip his hand that he is very much aware of it.

Sure he does....and you’re right - he won’t be able to resist some snide comment in his next presser. He’s a sneering creep.

This story says he’s “unaware of the Tea Parties”.

Other stories are that he’s saying “What’s with the Tea Parties? I’ve already cut taxes”.

Which is it?

Hitler was fairly oblivious about Stalingrad too.

Sadly the Germans did not check or care about his Austrian birth certificate.

Just like he was unaware that Ayers was a terrorist bomber or that he was present when Rev. Wright was badmouthing America.

He’ll say he just needed a few days to really understand it before he could say anything. Meanwhile, he’s trying to understand why the DHS memo did not make all the right-wing activists stay home in fear of being labelled as subversives. Now he has a real reason for the unwarranted wiretaps.. HA
