Labor Secretary Solis: Obama Will Take On 'Teabaggers'

Well, that civility sure was enjoyable while it lasted, huh?
With the team behind President Barack Obama targeting the Sunshine State in their bid for a second term in 2012, the White House sent U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis to speak to the Florida Democratic Convention on Saturday.

A day after Vice President Joe Biden told the convention at Walt Disney World that Obama needed to carry Florida to win in 2012, Solis attempted to rally Democrats for the elections and urged them to push for the Obama jobs plan which, with Republicans controlling the U.S. House, has no chance of passing Congress.

Speaking at a luncheon event on Saturday, Solis carried water for Obama, bashing Republicans and praising the administration’s economic policies.

Solis offered harsh words about conservatives. Looking at 2012, Solis slammed the tea party movement, calling them “teabaggers” and promising the Obama administration will take them on.
If Obama cared the least about "civility" he'd fire her today. But this is what he wants.

By the way, her use of the vulgar term wasn't a one-time occurrence.
"I'll be darned if I'm going to set that aside now because a few tea baggers want to somehow muzzle my voice," she said, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. "We don't have to sit back and allow a minority in the Congress, known as the tea party, to dominate the discussion in our households."

Solis "claimed", "attempted to defend", "carried water", and was "attempting to sell".  Gee, didn't the crowd fall for the empty rhetoric this time?  Eyes are wide open now?????

Hildie is just upset that the Tea Party isn't down with the "wetback" lobby!

I think the good response is to refer to Solis and other backers of Comrade Urkel as "Obama-felchers."
