Tea-Party Post: "Frustration and Fear Greet Obama in Town Hall Chat"

This is from last week, but it feels like no one reads the forums, so I'm putting it here.

 
I was reading the New York Times today, and I thought I'd share this article with you. What really struck me was the disillusionment of Obama's supporters, and the possibility of people turning to the "new hope", the Tea Party, even though most don't even know what the party is about.

Another part that stuck in my mind was a recent college grad overburdened with student loans asking the President Obama, "is the American Dream for me?".

The crux of the article criticized the Tea Party, quoting Obama's opinion that
it is "not enough for Tea Party Candidates to campaign on a theme of smaller government" and prospective Democrat strategies for competing with the Tea Party in future elections.

Read the entire article in the New York Times:
