Mr President,put down The Nation and Pravda so you can watch Fox News to see what is really happening to the USA .

Other   April 15th, 2009 - 2:07 pm

I would be surprised if any political media escaped the Presidents eye.

That said, WSJ, NYT and the top three networks have gone out of their way to avoid the events and minimize their popularity.

Doug Rose   April 15th, 2009 - 2:08 pm

Of course he wouldn’t know about the Tea Parties! He’s still trying to find the Channel Selector on his Teleprompter !

JamesJ   April 15th, 2009 - 2:08 pm

Lets just say Obama is “unaware” period

JAC   April 15th, 2009 - 2:08 pm

You have wishfull thinking as to the turn out of these parties. Sorry folks, you’re a silent few.

Kevin Lea   April 15th, 2009 - 2:14 pm

One word is all that is needed here on Obama: LIAR

Stephen   April 15th, 2009 - 2:14 pm

Everyone supporting today’s events — and those who would like to, but can’t get there — should flood the White House, their elected reps and drive-by media with simple emails: “Taxed Enough Already”, thus extending the day into a virtual tea party while we’re at it.

realityunwound   April 15th, 2009 - 2:22 pm

My first response is that there is NO WAY this media hound isn’t aware of what’s going on.

Then again, I’m sure he only watches whatever ridiculous tidbits of info Keith Slobberman on MSNBC think are news, so he’s probalby totally unaware of anything of any significance.

Dr. Strangelove   April 15th, 2009 - 2:28 pm

“The White House says the president is unaware of the tea parties….”

Sure, but his Secretary of Homeland Security IS AWARE of them and having them watched closely by law enforcement for right wing extremists. Extremists, in her definition, include disgruntled veterans and those who believe in the 2nd and 10th amendments to the Constitution, the sanctity of life, and fiscal responsibility.

Subversives!

HEY JAC..hate to break it to you but I just got back from one in a tiny little town and we thought there would be 20 or 30 people…we had ten times that…300-400!!! and several hundred drivers coming by to honk and wave and hold up positive signs to the gathering!!! The kindest thing at this point I can say about obama is tht he is an idiot!

It's Me!   April 15th, 2009 - 2:30 pm

Nothing like U.S. citizen’s being totally ignored by their president! How many “Tea Parties” around the US? Close to 1500 and he is totally unaware?!?!?!?! He knows nothing about this because he does not care how much Americans are paying in taxes.

James   April 15th, 2009 - 2:34 pm

#Either he’s a damned liar or complete idiot-come to think of it, he’s both!

MJR   April 15th, 2009 - 2:39 pm

To JAC:

You’d be surprised. There are a lot of us who are in support of these folks.

That’s typical left. Try to marginalize things you don’t agree with.

Do you know why these demonstrations are taking place? Do you? I do.

And I find it hard to believe that Obama doesn’t know about these things. He must be. He (and the administration) doesn’t care.

Look for Obama to be a 1 term President, and a LOT of changes in Congress in 2010.

RedBone   April 15th, 2009 - 2:40 pm

Come to think of it, this Bozo and his administration are ‘unaware’ of many things.

Obama – Unaware that he was attending a church with a racist pastor who hates America.

Obama – Unaware that he was hanging around and started his political career in a domestic terrorists living room.

Obama – Unaware that his aunt was living in the US illegally.

Obama – Unaware that his brother lives on less than $15 a month in a hut in Kenya.

Obama – Unaware about the AIG bonuses that he and his administration approved and signed into a bill

Obama – Unaware that half his administration hasn’t paid their taxes.

Obama – Unaware that he’s appointed members of the socialist party to his cabinet

Obama – Unaware.

jenna   April 15th, 2009 - 2:45 pm

Laughable that the White House would say Obama is “unaware” of the Tea Parties. I’m quite certain that he IS aware of them. And if that’s not a bold and outright lie, then its shameful that an American President would turn away from the cries of the American people. Everyone else is aware of the Tea Parties, so why isn’t Obama? Shameful.

Redbone   April 15th, 2009 - 2:46 pm

Unaware my @ss!

He’s ‘unable to admit’ because it doesn’t fit his agenda. Bascially denying it.

Yet another page from his bible by Saul Alinksky ‘Rules for Radicals’.

TexasRainmaker   April 15th, 2009 - 2:48 pm

Obama’s DHS Director claimed these tea parties represent a threat to America… so it makes sense that Obama would be totally unaware of them.

MCW   April 15th, 2009 - 2:55 pm

This whitehouse is a bunch of idiots

Brenda   April 15th, 2009 - 2:55 pm

Yeah Right Obama we believe you???
Unaware sums it up though.

[...] White House never said POTUS was unaware of tea parties.” Funny, that’s what ran on Tapper’s network. Of course, the semantics are secondary to the fact that the White House ultimately does not care [...]

Lady liberty   April 15th, 2009 - 3:31 pm

WELL….. which is it I just watched on this site msmbc say the white house is very aware of the tea parties… so ooooooo?

since his chief of staff watches fox ,i can’t believe they are not aware of them ,liars

patman   April 15th, 2009 - 4:33 pm

Denver had thousands of protesters. Many thousands. Tons of police and 1/2 the Colorado legislative branch walking out on the capital deck to see the action. There were just a handful of ACORN folks but the got shut down pretty quickly.

Sure Obama’s unaware… Especially if ACORN is involved…

ToddonCapeCod   April 15th, 2009 - 4:36 pm

So in other words, Obama is out of touch with America?

Why am I not surprised?

dennisl59   April 15th, 2009 - 4:38 pm

Another bald faced LIE from the White House.

This group of gangsters is holding the White House hostage.

One way out:

We DEMAND the Original Birth Certificate from this Imposter, Fraud and Marxist.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   April 15th, 2009 - 4:52 pm

Are we surprised, America, that Saul Alinsky Obama doesn’t know what we are doing today?

Not at all! This is a dictator in the making and he doesn’t care what you or I think!

He has an agenda from the Bilderberg Group and he is following it to the “t”…taking us down one spending bill at a time!

You Democratzi and Republican slugs better wake up before it is too late!

====================

I have just returned from the noon tea party at my state capitol. It was full of those crazy, fanatical extremists who are seeking to take America down and their rebellion was evident.

I saw fanatical women pushing strollers with actual babies in them, I saw moms and dads hand in hand with their children, I saw older Americans hand in hand holding signs. There were some pushing wheelchair bound citizens…it was outrageous!

Some one needs to call the Democratzi Warden Napolitano and tell her what is going on in America today.

I saw police just standing by doing nothing while these right wing fanatics held signs, and clapped and yelled and supported the speakers on the platform.

They actually prayed for our government and sang the National Anthem…it was outrageous!

Someone needs to do something with these subversives.

NOOOOOOOOOOOT!

America…what a proud day for America. Citizens united from all parties, all ages, and all beliefs…uniting together against the outrageous spending being done in Washington by Saul Alinsky Obama and his Democratzi and Republican Henchmen.

We are united in our goals to STOP THE SPENDING!

HERE IT LOUD AND CLEAR…CONGRESS…SAUL ALINSKY OBAMA IS TAKING OUR COUNTRY DOWN ONE SPENDING BILL AT A TIME…AND “YOU” HAVE THE POWER TO STOP IT!

DO IT…OR GO ON THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINES THAT YOU HAVE CREATED FOR THE REST OF AMERICA WITH ALL YOUR OUTRAGEOUS SPENDING!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

GET IT OR GET OUT!

====================

JUST ANOTHER PATHETIC DAY IN THE “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” AND HIS AGENDA TO TAKE AMERICA DOWN!

SOGGY WET LOSERS in DC got tossed out, when a dim wit threw a box over the White House FENCE.

Did your Momma bungeee jump and smoke crack when she was pregnant with this spawn of the shallow end of the gene pool?

No one noticed you!   April 15th, 2009 - 5:28 pm

Well some of you right wing wackos got it right. Mr. Obama probably had more important things to do and chose to ignore the small number of idiots who didn’t have enough sense to get out of the rain. The traffic in D.C. was unusually light today, by the way.

Good one, Mark!

TruthTeller   April 15th, 2009 - 7:21 pm

<b<QUESTION: How do you know when Obama is lying (yet again) to the American people?

<b<ANSWER: His lips are moving.

CrashLander   April 15th, 2009 - 9:35 pm

Whatever…
Next he will claim he didn’t bow to the Saudi king.

myth buster   April 15th, 2009 - 10:06 pm

Actually, it’s over 2000 TEA parties, and in the neighborhood of 1 million people turned out for these events across the country. Honestly, you liberals must be ignorant that there is an America outside of DC, New York and California.

Looks like O is either really out of touch, unsympathetic or really just hates criticism… ANd that does not bode well for a president who won 52/48 % – the majority voting for him was not overwhelming and thats a concept O needs to digest and recognize…

Obama should pick the 4 cities who got the largest tea bagger “parties” and send Biden, Clinton, Oprah and Kenan West to an open stadium event which would QUADRUPLE any crowd Hannity, Beck and Cavutto could draw…..COMBINED!

What a POS this guy is….
