Obama and the DLC-controlled Democrats are as responsible for the Tea Party's rise as Armey and the Koch brothers. Democrats have relished having the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, and Republican politicians like Michele Bachmann, to play against.
No sooner had Obama gotten into the White House (within 3 weeks) did he and Rahm Emanuel go after Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin, 2 people with no official positions within the Republican Party, talking about them on MTP, elevating them to prominence. Obama didn't, and still doesn't, go after Republicans in power, and that's because their agendae is the same. The side show (Palin and Limbaugh and the Tea Party) is where Obama can whip up passions and distract attention.
All last year as the Tea Party was gaining in influence and strength and bullying at Townhalls and controlling the healthcare debate, Obama went AWOL. When he should have been using the bully pulpit of the presidency, ordering federal marshals to keep order at public squares and debates, instead Democratic members of Congress cancelled their Townhalls. At the exact same time, Obama was sending the Feds to break up peaceful protests in Pittsburgh at the G20 summit, using the military's newest weapons (sound canons).
