Our post-partisan President used the vile term “teabaggers” in reference to anti-tax, anti-big government protesters. You know, the ones who –- according to numerous polls — enjoy the support of a majority of the American people.
The term is apparently so embarrassing that White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs can’t imagine himself asking the President why he used it.
If embarrassment is the new standard by which subjects are discussed in the oval office, we would imagine that the two men are unable to discuss most of what this President has done since he took office.
