Obama spars with Tea Party activist

[YumYum]

At the end of the video clip, he had no reply to the woman who said "Two people in your cabinet accuse people like me of being terrorist".


US President Barack Obama went head-to-head with a prominent conservative Tea Party activist, in a microcosm of a political clash that will play out in the 2012 election.

Ryan Rhodes, a leader of the group in Iowa, took on Obama during an open-air town hall meeting, which marked a moment of new intensity in the president's campaign for a second term.

Rhodes shouted out that the president's calls for more civility in politics had little chance of coming to pass after "your vice president is calling people like me, a Tea Party member, a 'terrorist.'"

His question referred to media reports that Vice President Joe Biden made such a remark in a private meeting with House of Representatives Democrats at the height of a debt showdown earlier this month.

Amazing. Amazing. I hope that the biggest thing to come from this election is that the drapes are pulled back from Oz and the people see these elections for the scam they have become.

the democratic party is getting pretty desperate when they're constantly setting up things like this. their message is delivered via lies and illusions... yep, those are the kind of people you'd want to support for sure :rolleyes:

[Romulus]

Same girl, no doubt.

Who's to say, that was 10 years ago, people change since then.

But I do expect these 'Joe the Plumber' type stunts to start coming out.

Make no mistake, the Tea party is the scapegoat this cycle.

[Bruno]

"Plant" or converted?

Many here are former democrats as well.

[IndianaPolitico]

Same girl alright, nose and ears are the giveaway.

[YumYum]

I'm a little lost here. How does it benefit the Democrats to have this woman as a "plant" and accuse Obama and his administration of something to which he can't give a response? It makes him and his administration look bad.

riles up the base, makes him look like he's trying to be a voice of reason but can't because the 'tea party' is attacking him, probably.

Yeah, I can see that too.

I'm with you. I'm not buying conspiracy here. This doesn't make Obama look good.

It makes him look like a victim and he isn't to blame, but he's getting attacked for something Biden did. It's all a big political game about impressions.
