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.
