Obama makes light of anti-tax protests

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"President Barack Obama said Thursday he's amused by the anti-tax tea party protests that have been taking place around Tax Day.

Obama told a fundraiser in Miami that he's cut taxes, contrary to the claims of protesters.

"You would think they'd be saying thank you," he said.

At that, many in the crowd at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts stood and yelled, "Thank you!"

The fundraiser was one of two Obama held after a speech at Cape Canaveral on his administration's space policy. The other was hosted by Gloria and Emilio Estefan, a $30,400-per-couple fete that stirred some controversy in the traditionally Republican Cuban-American community.

Together, the events raised $2.5 million for the Democratic National Committee."

I'm not a tea party activist. Not even close, but I won't say "thank-you" for 52% of our tax dollars going to the MIC = Death and Destruction.
