When does the idiot finally get it?

According to news reports, Obama gave a statment on the plane to reporters about the new Tea Party representatives in the house.
"they will play to their party base for awhile, but eventually will learn that they are here to "govern".
Did not the electorate vote in the new representatives and senators on the case of less government, and lower taxes, among other issues????

We really need to watch these new folks in congress to make sure they don't waver from the job WE gave them

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The Tea Party guys will fall in line with the others. It will all be about staying in power.

And they will fail, and WE will vote them out.

Agreed again. Time to keep booting them until they all get the message.

How about voting for people with workable policy solutions?

I'm all for several key parts of the Tea Party position - greater fiscal responsibility, less corruption, yadda yadda yadda.

My problem has been that they're very good at pointing out Washington's problems but they've been pretty short on suggesting solutions. For example, the healthcare bill that was passed was a debacle, no doubt: conservatives think it was far overreaching and too expensive, and liberals think it was a compromise that ended up just being a massive gift to insurance companies. The Tea Partiers have done a great job of pointing out what went wrong there. BUT, the state of healthcare in this country pre-reform was horrible. I will start to take the Tea Party more seriously when they outline a program to undo Obamacare, and then well-defined legislative steps to improve the situation somehow.

They need to start offering solutions, not just point out problems.

They have but the folks on the left and the lawyers did not like the answers. Start with tort reform, allowing insurance companies to cross state lines, etc, etc.
