Obama's continuation of the wiretaps, and the wars, etc., is craven and 
odious. No the changed I voted for, but still glad I voted for him and 
not McCain, and that Bush is out on his ear.

Having said that, the "tea parties" were folks whose grievances were not 
along socially liberal lines of "Obama must end the war and domestic 
surveillance!" They were ugle exhibitions of bigoted, backwards 
sentiments, stoked by FOX Nes and conservative commentators and 
funded/promoted by right wing organizations like Newt Gingrich's 
American Solutions and Dick Armey (yes, his real name) FreedomWorks.

I have my own grievances with Obama , but the tea parties sure as hell 
ain't on my side of the spectrum of complaints I have with him.
