Obama's continuation of the wiretaps, and the wars, etc., is craven and
odious. No the changed I voted for, but still glad I voted for him and
not McCain, and that Bush is out on his ear.

Having said that, the "tea parties" were folks whose grievances were not
along socially liberal lines of "Obama must end the war and domestic
surveillance!" They were ugle exhibitions of bigoted, backwards
sentiments, stoked by FOX Nes and conservative commentators and
funded/promoted by right wing organizations like Newt Gingrich's
American Solutions and Dick Armey (yes, his real name) FreedomWorks.

I have my own grievances with Obama , but the tea parties sure as hell
ain't on my side of the spectrum of complaints I have with him.
