There is one thing that I compliment Obama on and that is the early use of the internet and rapid communications to bring people to rallies on the spur of the moment. That is exactly what happened with the tea parties-----Americans of all persuasions, fed up with the trillions now approaching zillions of dollars in present and future debt, know that their taxes will rise at all levels. If it isn't the income tax, it will be the hidden taxes for cap and trade and other tax. It will be taxes on dividend income. It will be increased taxes on capital gains for companies that survive the take over of the private sector by the government under Obama. For Obama's "grassroots" campaign movement---------folks were asking the same of Move.On, Emily's List, Daily Kos, Acorn. Ophrah Winfrey, Soros, Rezko. If it is so spontaneous and grassroots, why is Obamah taking money from the Hollywood left, from Oprah Winfrey and Zoros who provided millions for Obama. Yes, the tax teaparties are a grass roots movement akin to the silent majority that elected President Reagan after we all gave Jimmy Carter a chance for change and hope and Jimmy failed. This is only the beginning. mj

Excuse me, but I didn't see any evidence of corporate sponsors or any central organizing force at the Tea Party in my town yesterday. Just a sizeable group of ordinary citizens who are fed up with the direction this country is headed in.

"That's not grass roots, its astro turf..." Funny...moments after reading this I saw Nancy Pelosi on TV saying exactly the same thing. I guess we know where you are getting you talking points from now.
