I don't disagree with Freeman, but I do think that it is too simplistic to paint the teaparty as a homogenous group. It has always been at least a three headed monster: libertarians, new world order types, and racist republicans... and really I think it is bigger even than that.
Also, I will never understand why people act like the Republicans/teabaggers are somehow out of line for wanting to prevent the Dem president from getting reelected, that's what the opposition party is supposed to do. If anything libs and Dems should be getting on Obama for being so naive as to think that he can win over the political opposition, and/or for implementing austerity-type policies that hurt the economy and as such hurt him politically.

I hear what you're saying, but I think that narrative about the teaparty being racially motivated and irrational ideologically is too simplistic, it is sort of a strawman. Race is a component, but like I said in my last post the teaparty is not a singular, homogenous group and not all of their ideologies are derived from racism or are irrational. As I recall they got off the ground by opposing the too-big-to-fail policy, and I oppose that too and think it is going to have disastrous ramifications, in fact I think for a non bank executive to support that policy is pretty irrational.
And the ideologues among them would say that obama's approach is detrimental to the COUNTRY (see heyslick post above), so while that argument may have legs in circles of Democrats I think it falls flat when you try to understand how a lot of teapartiers think. That said, for the political strategists in the Republican party the consensus does seem to be that any policy that improves the economy will help obama, and that is evident in their approach. While I don't like that strategy, I do understand that this is how politics works. Being the party-of-no isn't something that the current batch of Republicans invented, it is a much used political strategy, and Obama hasn't ever seemed to grasp that.

MORGAN FREEMAN's publicist has dismissed new reports the movie star is to wed his step-granddaughter.
U.S. tabloid the National Enquirer claims the Shawshank Redemption star, 72, is romancing 27-year-old E’Dena Hines, and the couple is planning to wed once the actor's divorce from his second wife Myrna Colley-Lee is final.
But Freeman's spokesman, Dave Falkenstein, insists the story is, "complete garbage."
