That may be, and I say all kinds of lovely (and probably unladylike) things about Obama and Biden, but neither you nor I are the President or Vice President of the USA.

Did it? Under Obama the budget deficit increased more than 40%. He has not even been able to pass a budget for FY 2010,2011, or 2011. The only "budget" he presented was called "dead on arrival" - even by Democrats. There was a budget shortfall of $161 Billion under Bush (which is bad) and $1400 Billion under Obama (which is unimaginable)
If the wild spending, lack of budget, sky rocketing increases in national debt are not epic failures by Obama, then he really must be God (and have the ability to "walk across my swimming pool")

Really? Comparing good people to terrorists mindlessly bent on the destruction of the country is the same as calling someone "un-American"? Well, I guess we all have our standards.
If it is "based in actual fact" (in that one of the Tea Party's primary motives is to bring a measure of fiscal sanity back to Washington) then you are ACTUALLY calling these good citizens "terrorists". There is a
HUGE difference between a "terrorist" and being "un-American".
Personally, I would much rather be thought of as a "terrorist" than an "Obama worshiper".
