EXCLUSIVE - THE VETTING - BARACK OBAMA, THE FIRST TEA PARTIER

EXCLUSIVE - THE VETTING - BARACK OBAMA, THE FIRST TEA PARTIER


In 2009, President Barack Obama reportedly called members of the Tea Party "teabaggers." It turns out that our fourth greatest president, first in so many things, may have been the first "teabagger" himself, as seen in the 1997 photograph above. Yes, that really is Barack Obama wearing a regimental coat and carrying a tricorn hat in his hand. And that flag behind him really is a Gadsden flag, with its serpent and its "Don't Tread On Me" slogan. You may want to let all of this sink in a bit, especially if you're a Tea Party-bashing progressive.

Neither Democrats nor the media have been particularly kind to the Tea Party. There is hardly space to go through all the times the Tea Party has been compared to terrorists (including by the Vice President) or fascists, or the many times it has been accused of racism by progressives in supposedly mainstream news outlets. That's a book-length story of its own.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- HMMMM ... DON'T TREAD ON ME MR PRESIDENT?!
