Logic dictates that the Tea Party movement was not about taxes.

15 April 2008--no Tea Party movement happening under the Bush Administration.
15 April 2009--Tea Party movement happening under the Obama Administration even though no tax increases had been enacted or were under serious consideration at the time.

Conclusion: it wasn't about taxes. It might have been about the possibility of taxes in the future, but they were overreacting to things that did not exist.

I still suspect that Mr. Obama is going to pull and LBJ and not run for 2012. Not only will this avoid the possibility of losing a Presidential election but it will give him the option of running in 2016, since the 22nd Amendment doesn't preclude nonconsecutive terms. He would have 4 years during which to rebuild his support, as well.

The only Republican candidate I like is Dr. Paul...but I am a realist and I know he won't get the nomination. If I am lucky he might get a VP spot, but I'm not holding my breath for that.
