Obama's campaign manager says our Tea party movement is 'unhealthy'

By Steve Collier, Colorado Springs

On April 19's "Face the Nation" program on CBS, David Axelrod, President Obama's campaign manager and now-gopher within the administration said something that will ultimately piss you off. He said (or in CNN speak -- suggested) the Tea Party movement is an unhealthy reaction to the tough economic climate facing the nation.

Axelrod then backtracked, according to the rest of the reporting, when asked whether the movement itself was unhealthy. In his words, "Well, this is a country where we value our liberties and our ability to express ourselves, and so far these are expressions." He wouldn't come out and say whether he agrees or disagrees. See, this is the Washington doublespeak (see George Orwell's 1984) both parties are to blame for. You can never get an answer out of the powerful in Washington, thus the Tea Parties, for better or for worse, exist to keep people like David Axelrod in check.
