Quote
Three days after he decried the lack of civility in American politics, President Obama is quoted in a new book about his presidency referring to the Tea Party movement using a derogatory term with sexual connotations.

In Jonathan Alter’s “The Promise: President Obama, Year One,” President Obama is quoted in an interview saying that the unanimous vote of House Republicans vote against the stimulus bills “set the tenor for the whole year ... That helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans.”

Especially since he's made it abundantly clear what a classy guy he is.

Yes, it does surprise me. Every President has always lets their subordinates do the "dirty work" and name calling. This guy is a truely different breed. Openly speaking to a large portion of our country with such contempt...... what a disgrace!

He got Obamacare through over TREMENDOUS objections from "we the people".  Sumbitch thinks he's 10 feet tall and bulletproof and that he answers to NOBODY.  I mean, who are we?  Just peons with no power.  He is a massive narcissist, the size of whose ambition is only rivaled by that of his ego.

Hell Eric, he spoke disrespectfully of the U.S. Supreme Court!  Live, on camera, in front of the entire world!

An equal power of our three branches of Government!

f..k you Mr. President! (my new mantra)

I too weep for the nation...

WTH, he's never had any kind of management position, let alone any kind of important position. The SOB is winging it as he goes, with his handlers letting him eff up occasionally I think just to hack him off.

bho is a loser and needs to be voted out in 2012.

I don't necessarily disagree. I am just tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. I really hope the GOP can get its head out the usual Washington pragmaticl mind set and give us someone we can vote foe in 2012. Not an insider or the darling of talk radio, but a serious, smart moderate conservative with a plan. They did it in 1980 (barring the drug war thing, but no one is perfect), I'm hoping they do it in two years. Just not seeing too many choices thus far.

FQ if you think that Obama was the lesser of two evils in 2008 you didn't do your homework. He was definitely the more evil of the two.

And also putting up a moderate conservative is not only the biggest mistake the GOP can make, but moderate and conservative are two words that shouldn't even be in the same sentence for 2012.

We need a strong constitutional conservative ticket or we are are toast for 2012. We already are toast and we need that strong constitutional conservative just to start digging our way out of the grave that "One Big Ass Mistake America" (I love that!) has put us in.

WHile I agree with you completely, I can also identify with at least the sentiment of what FQ had to say.  I haven't "voted for" a Presidential candidate since 1984.  Every cycle since then it's been the lesser of the two evils, which is, by definition, still evil.  In 2008 I had pretty much planned to sit out the election altogether until McCain put Palin on the ticket.  (Sorry FQ, but you are simply full of shit about this woman.)  I voted FOR Palin, and took McCain as baggage.  I long for the day when I can vote FOR a Presidential candidate, rather than against their opponent, or worse yet, the lesser of two evils.  I want a Presidential candidate who can get me excited about the election.  I want a Presidential candidate that I not only feel is deserving of my vote, but for whom I am happy and proud to cast it.  Sadly, I'm not seeing anybody emerging for 2012 (except Bogan) who falls into that category.
