Bush at the end of Bush's second term. Particularly chuckle worthy is the opening para: President Obama, whose standing abroad helped earn him a Nobel Peace Prize in his first year in office, has declined in popularity ...

The true enemy of the Tea Party movement, contrary to what oh so many in the the clueless and wilfully blind MSM would have you believe, is not Obama and the Democratic Party, it is the Republican Party's establishment... i.e. the people who made Obama presidency possible.
