As always, outlets like The New York Times and Washington Post make it sound perfectly reasonable:
“We’re not the opposite of the Tea Party,” Ms. Park, 41, said. “We’re a different model of civic participation, but in the end we may want some of the same things.” ....
Park is also hoping to get some Tea Partiers in her group, because “We need to roll up our sleeves, put our heads together and work it out,” she said. “That’s, to me, an American way of doing this.”
Horse manure.
Park was one of organizers and operators of the United for Obama video channel at YouTube. check out this revolting bit of O worship:
Not only that, but check out this creep's twitter history:
Does anyone doubt that the idea and the funding for this garbage came straight out of the White House?
Take your 'coffee' and pour it in your ear, ObamaBot.The American people will not be fooled.

From what Ms. Park says to the NYT, it appears she wants to work constructively with the so called tea party, however, from her off the public record statements she insults this group. What she and many public officials seem to STILL fail to understand is these statements they make "off the record" are a part of the public record.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The people will not be fooled.
A key difference here is the "coffee party" is a top down organization. By contrast the "tea party" is a bottom up organization. Essentially what this means is the "tea party" has no central command structure or any thing like this.
This has made it extremely difficult for the powers that be to destroy it. As it stands right now, I think one of the few things that the RNC, the DNC, the Obama Administration, and Ms. Park can agree upon is they despise the Tea Party. They all would like to destroy it or perhaps absorb into their group, however, the lack of a centralized command structure has made this difficult.
Why does Mr. Obama pick a film maker? Haven't they learned any thing by now? While people may like the films that the average Hollywood film maker puts out, the American generally do not relate well to film makers and other celebraties on a personal level.
As such, as it stands right now, I would not expect this to go very far. Actually unless the economy improves markedly by this summer or shows signs that marked improvement is around the corner Mr. Obama may need more than a "coffee party" to help him and his pals.
Very apropos, Larry!
