Caveat Lectores: Ode to a Tea Bagger

I just found this today. Cannot confirm who first came up with it but will not deny or argue with it. It has been floating around the Internet for a while with slightly different permutations. This may be the original.

Oh, hell no!

I've seen so many anti Obama rhetoric e-mails come to my PC since he was
elected about eleven months now. Here is the other side’s rhetoric. What do you
think?

We had eight years of Bush and Cheney, Now you get mad!

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and
appointed a President.

You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate
energy policy.

You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got ousted.

You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said
illegal war.

You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq .

You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.

You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn't get mad when we let a major US city drown.

You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.

You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America
deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies,
corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all
okay with you, but helping other Americans... oh hell no.


I wish I had thunk that one up.

And Oh yes, Have a nice Day?
