Frightened of the tea party? Nut Up!

Maybe you should be more afraid of the radical socialist Obama agenda.  Or the fact that he won't work with republicans.

Or the fact he goes on a Spanish radio station and says that anyone who is concerned over illegal aliens is the enemy.

Is this true? Source?

Actually he did say that. Here's a link regarding the quote

Seems like an out of context quote to me. Conservative sites are infamous for doing that (see: Andrew Breibart)

To mshillen: I don't know where you've been the past 2 years, but Obama tried repeatedly to reach out to Republicans, something I wish he hadn't done. Maybe we'd have glass-steagall, or even better, a public option as true healthcare reform.

And who was it who said Republicans goal was to get rid of Obama in 2012? Oh right, Mitch McConnell.
