Tea Party Protests gives you the video low down on the doings.
Newt’s on the bandwagon says Instapundit.
American Solutions for Winning the Future today ” announced their endorsement and support of the Nationwide Tax Day Tea Party, an event spanning the nation in over 150 cities and towns across America on April 15….”
“The American people are fed up with Washington’s irresponsible spending spree,” said Newt Gingrich, General Chairman of American Solutions. “There are better solutions than big government and higher taxes to create jobs and get the economy moving again.”
According to Hot Air, the Washington Times found “the motherload.” Says Hot Air, “While publicly identifying with the nation’s have-nots, the Obama administration has been cultivating the Beltway social elite behind the scenes.”
In the vernacular of the tax-paying masses, Obama’s hobb-nobbings are just another “loada’ __.”
Obama seeks to ingratiate himself with high society despite the imprinted image of just-plain-folk representing “the humble masses yearning to breath free.” Not much free for the tax-paying middle class,while the air of neo-Camelot-ary reigns in Obamalot. While Obama reaches into our pockets, his “outreach to the luxury lifestyle glossies, which cater to the region’s highest socioeconomic strata with knowing coverage of everything from the choicest real estate and most exclusive parties to the plushest resorts and spas, is not the only recent evidence that the Obama administration is eager to forge ties with the nation’s social and style arbiters.”
Says Hot Air:
Charming the local (and not so local) power structure is good, smart politics, as is having dozens of interest groups aligned on your side coordinating their message with a daily phone call. And just as conservative groups could never get away with that without dark media insinuations about the “right-wing noise machine” building a wall of propaganda around the White House, George W. Bush could never have gotten away with holding a strategy session on how to glad-hand the D.C. glitterati while issuing near-hourly warnings about how we’re on the brink of Great Depression II. I can just picture the mocking nut-roots YouTube clips, destined to be recycled on “Hardball” and “Countdown”: First a quote from a story about Bush’s interest in socializing, then a clip of him and Laura dressed in finery and dancing at an inaugural ball as graphics about the market’s implosion and this year’s $1.75 trillion deficit roll merrily by. They’re … out of touch, you see. Exit question: Couldn’t the meeting have been postponed until, oh, say, after Geithner came up with a bank rescue plan and Treasury had been staffed? This isn’t going to reassure George Will or Tom Friedman about Obama’s ability to prioritize.
Instapundit reports on who came to tea on the steps of the Pennsylvania Capitol. Hundreds came to the third of the weekly tea parties at the invitation of the Commonwealth Foundation and two local radio talk show hosts. “Harrisburg Tea Party” gives vent to their firmly held belief in limited federal and state government and definitely protests the government overstepping its role in our lives. There is more tea to be served along with sobering declarations in the days to come.
