i m no obama-barber but i saw that clip of the president at that fundraiser last night at 6:00 this morning on fox & friends. and i thought that is the height of con descension. here is the president of the united states, thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people representing millions as you say, the polls indicate 24% of americans identify with the tea party movement. he says their rallies amuse him and that, in fact, they should be thanking him for the position on taxes. you know, it s an effort to marginalize a growing grass roots movement in this country to portray them as a bunch of kooks. i have got to tell you, bill, because we did a little homework. what the president said isn t true. this is admittedly from republicans that i have here from the ways and means the republican staff from the ways and means committee the taxes since becoming january in 2009 he has increased taxes and enacted into law totals
