This comment speaks volumes about President Obama and his view of American citizens. He openly mocks the American people who don't agree with his agenda and who choose to express that dissent. He prefers to portray those who disagree with him as "radicals" and "fringe groups", not recognizing that the Tea Parties represent a diverse sample of American society.
His comment reveals his lack of respect for our democratic form of government. His socialist ideology espouses the philosophy that an elite group makes the decisions for the majority of the people and thus the government obtains complete control over it's citizens. That ideology is the reason he said that the Tea Party people should be saying "thank you" to him because "their taxes have actually been lowered". This is a perversion of the truth and another Obama word game. The ultimate result of his agenda is going to raise everyone's taxes!
President Obama has no respect for our Constitution. He knows that many of his actions are in direct violation of the Constitution. He doesn't recognize the right of the American people to openly disagree with the prevailing administration or the policies of the government. He thinks we should all fall in line behind him and not question his policies or his decisions regardless of their constitutional validity.
When President Bush was asked about how he felt about demonstrations against his administration, he responded that they had a constitutional right to express their opinions. He never made derogatory comments about the people who disagreed with him.
President Obama's comment makes it alarmingly clear that he is not sympathetic to the wishes and concerns of the American people, and those that openly express their dissent only "amuse" him. They are so insignificant to him that he jokes about them in his speeches.
That "joke" is about you and me! In November the ballot box needs to show that the "joke" has a voice, and we say "NO".
