Obama Rips Tea Parties, Fox News During Town Hall Meeting.....
WZ ^

Posted on 04/29/2009 10:59:35 AM PDT by JDAM2007

At his 100th-day town hall meeting in St. Louis Wednesday, President Barack Obama took direct aim at the anti-tax “tea party” demonstrations that have cropped up over the last month and took a veiled shot at the Fox News Channel, the cable news network closely associated with the protests.

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.”

If nothing else, Obama is securing his place as the most petty, thin-skinned, small man ever to occupy the White House.

Obama’s Boy Friday Reggie Love was a tea-baggee, there are photos all over the web, so he’s obviously trying to assuage hurt feelings in a close relationship. He feels his pain.

He’s the first president that has been younger than me. It shows. He’s childish.

A president is even commenting about a news channel?

How incredibly petty.

3 years and 8 months to go.

“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.”

Certainly not by spending $3.5 trillion dollars a year in taxes which is what the Tea Parties were about you jack*ss!

Funny that whenever 0 (or his spokeshacks) mention the tea parties, they only mention them as tax protests and trot out the pittance of a tax credit passed in Feb., never mentioning the increases in other taxes, like cigarette taxes, that will hit lower-income people especially hard. They also never mention the other objective of the tea parties, which are to protest PROFLIGATE SPENDING. They don’t mention this because they have NO response to that part of the protest. So they ignore it as if it — and the obscene deficit spending and the attempted bankrupting of future generations — that triggered the protests, do not exist.

Simple to stabilize Social Security and cut medical costs— all you do is deprive all those senile old white farts who didn’t vote correctly and seldom do of medical care. Presto, Chango, they die off and the problem is solved. Cruel? Depends what you mean by cruel. Abortion looks cruel if you are a fetus, I suppose, but there are many who support it— and they are the ones who won the last election. If you can stomach abortion, then letting a bunch of old folks die to save money for the younger, livelier and more diverse folks shouldn’t cause any heartburn. In addition, there is a direct wealth transfer in many cases when there is a death, and that makes their death a tax opportunity allowing the government to spread their money around.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Please note there has been a change in tonights performance of “lie to me”. Playing the role of Tim Roth will be Barack Hussein Obama.

Health care costs should not be any of the Federales business (Medicare, Medicaid and Drugs for Old Farts not withstanding.)

As for Social Security, we’ve had an answer for at least a decade, but the Democrats won’t hear of privatizing it.

Reminds me of the early days of the Nazis, when Goebbels went around threatening the “Jewish Press.”

If Rezco and Blago start talking, Obama might be making the Nixon resignation walk to the helocopter.....

Keep the faith
