So sensitive.

I understand that when you care about something it is easy to become over sensitive. But right now some are whining. Flat out whining. They have issued a statement demanding an apology from Pres. Obama for saying that waving tea bags around isn't the way to start a discussion. They're right that he was taking a minor jab at them, but what do they expect? Have you seen some of the signs they had? In case you missed it, I'll post a few (found here, and here):







Yes, they demand that he take them seriously when they liken him to Osama Bin Laden and Chairman Mao and question his birth. Mutual respect requires both sides (i.e. "mutual"). If they want to be taken seriously about spending and policy that is what their discussion needs to be about. I'm pretty sure that is what President Obama was trying to say.
