No Need for Obama to Condemn Hoffa’s ‘SOB’ Remark
http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/leslie-marshall/2011/09/07/no-need-for-obama-to-condemn-hoffas-sob-remark

That's not in my job description…

That's how the president should've responded to angry right wing and Tea Party Americans calling on him to ask for Jimmy Hoffa, leader of The Teamsters Union, to either quit, or for the president to condemn his remarks when Mr. Hoffa told a group of union members at a labor day rally to "take these out and give America back..."

Firstly, it was very apparent that Mr. Hoffa was speaking about taking the Tea Party politicians out of their elected positions via the union members' vote. As of late, the unions have become more and more fed up with the president and the Democratic Party; many threaten to not turn out to vote at all. Mr. Hoffa was impressing upon them their responsibility to hold those they are angry with accountable by voting them out, especially the Tea Party, who polls show has declining support in America and who Americans hold responsible for weighing heavily in the decision by Republicans to threaten America's sovereignty over the debt ceiling crisis/debacle.

2. The Republicans will turn on the Tea Party
Some of them already have. I think the Tea Party helped Democrats more than hurt them.

They would argue against me, but it is true.

Thanks Tea Party for helping Democrats by belching your ignorance.

3. Well, I think it is a shame that the article did not print the full quote - full quote below

Hoffa: “Everybody here has a vote. If we go back and we keep the eye on the prize. Let’s take these sons of bitches out and give America back to America where we belong.”
