Obama Takes Jab at Fox News and Tea Parties in St. Louis
At a town hall meeting in St. Louis today, Obama took a swipe at Fox News and the Tea Party protestors while addressing a question about saving social security.
So, you know, when you see — those of you who are watching certain news channels that — on which I’m not very popular — (laughter) — and you see folks waving tea bags around — (laughter) — let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we’re going to stabilize Social Security. Claire and I are working diligently to do basically a thorough audit of federal spending. But let’s not play games and pretend that the reason is because of the Recovery Act, because that’s just a fraction of the overall problem that we’ve got.
Well, Obama may now be aware of the Tea Parties that occurred on April 15th, but he apparently still doesn’t get them… news flash.
