Champ alledgedly used term 'T-Baggers' in letter to TX teacher.
2013-11-29
[Daily Caller] The Champ allegedly used the term “tea-baggers” to describe members of the Tea Party movement in a handwritten response to a fifth-grade school teacher’s letter criticizing Obamacare.

The crude and derogatory term, which is brimming with sexual innuendo, appears in a note penned on stationery bearing the words “The White House” at the top. The man who says he received the missive is Thomas Ritter of Irving, Texas, reports the Daily Mail.

Ritter, 49, had written a letter to the Champ before Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, and well before the lawÂ’s embarrassingly disastrous launch.
He didn't write that letter, someone in government wrote that letter for him. Let me be clear. We are conducting a full investigation and will hold those responsible fully accountable, or something like that.

#1 I am having my doubts about this piece. A block of salt may be required :-(

That DC piece does look cheezy, but this was out there on [rummages] wednesday, on pagesix and the mail, at least. I first noticed it here, via Drudge, I thought, but I'm not seeing it in the archives. Here's why I'll take the bait:

in 2009, the New York Times wrote about how Obama has instructed White House staff to select 10 personal letters a day for him to read in order to help him stay outside of the “bubble” that inoculates so many public figures.

SMH. "Dear Comrade Stalin, I'm sure that if you only knew what goes on out here in the heartland, you would help us, but I fear you are surrounded by bootlicking opportunists who keep you in the dark and feed you bullborscht. I have no doubt that you will have them all shot as soon as you read this letter. Sincerely, ..."

#8  To be fair, Mr. Ritter used the term "tea-baggers" (without quotation marks) in his letter to the President. And since we all know how Mr. Obama likes to "wax folksy" when it's convenient to the occasion...

#7  Somebody get the teleprompter quick, before he says another word.

#6  I doubt it. He cant be that stupid, and besides, he would never spend even a minute on someone who opposes him. He has the IRS and DOJ for that.

#4  I might doubt it if it were anyone else. However, Champ is a man who is vindictive and likes to punish anyone who questions him, his policies, or opposes him.

#3  Well CF, FOX ran the same story this morning with no mention of T-Baggers. I can't believe their research and editing section would let something like that slide.

#2  Or else it was the one letter he *did* write. It's entirely consistent with our oh-so-classy president.
I do wonder if he needs a teleprompter to write letters...
