Obama 'Amused' By Tea Party Rallies...

You have got to be kidding me?! THANK YOU FOR WHAT? The $8 per week increase you gave 95% of Americans! Do the math folks... $400 annual tax cut divided by 52 weeks = $8 per week!!! HE CAN KISS MY A**! The Stimulus included $212 billion Tax Cuts. 95% of working Americans received an $8/single or $16/couple per week increase in their paychecks! Oh geez, thank you Mr. President. It would have been CHEAPER had the Obama administration CUT OUR ANNUAL TAX RATE by a few percentage points. Let's say you pay 28%, reduce the tax rate to 25% or even 20%.

This would have given our paychecks a boost and SPARED us the additional tax and the federal government would NOT have had to spend a dime. By him increasing the federal DEBT by $212 BILLION we, the taxpayers are going to have to pay that back.

Plus, let's not forget the cigarette tax President Obama imposed on all Americans when he took office. That most certainly affects the poor and middle class!!! Please click HERE to read this BROKEN PROMISE: No family making less than $250,000 will see "any form of tax increase." Smokers, tanning aficionados, the happily uninsured: More taxes coming at ya!

By all means, continue bad mouthing us. The "People" will speak LOUDLY at the voting booths on November 2nd and ALL of the condescending arrogant political a**holes will be given their walking papers!

President Barack Obama struck a hyperpartisan note Thursday, telling Democrats that he was "amused" by the Tax Day Tea Party rallies.

Obama, addressing a Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser in Miami, did little to endear himself to the Tea Party groups protesting around the country, saying "they should be saying thank you" because of the tax cuts he has signed into law.

The president went as far as to say that this week's special election in Florida, which was won by Democrat Ted Deutch, was portrayed by Republicans as "a referendum on healthcare, a referendum on the stimulus."

"And you know what, it was," Obama said to applause.

Obama continued to dare Republicans to run on a platform of repealing healthcare reform, telling the audience "they won't be very successful."

Despite the president's confidence, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine told the crowd that they should assume that Democrats are "running into a headwind" in the November midterms.

Kaine said Democrats, who gathered at one of two fundraisers that raised about $2.5 million for the party, are the underdogs this year.

"You don't mind being the underdog, you don't mind running into a headwind, you don't mind an uphill race," Kaine said. "You don't mind being the underdog. Becasue that's what Democrats do. We are the underdogs."

Obama also continued to try to make the case that a vote against financial regulatory reform is a vote on behalf of Wall Street and against Main Street.

"Every member of Congress is soon going to have to make a decision, but the choice is going to be very simple between special interests and the American people," Obama said.

The president was returning to Washington on Thursday night.
