Obama at Democratic Fundraiser: Tea Partiers Should Be Thanking Him for Tax Cuts
April 15, 2010 10:11 PM
ABC News’ Karen Travers and Rachel Martin report:
Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser tonight, President Obama touted his administration’s tax cuts and said that the recent tea party rallies across the nation have “amused” him.
“You would think they should be saying thank you,” the president said to applause.
Members of the audience shouted, “Thank you.”
An exuberant Obama appeared at a fundraiser for the DNC at the Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami. The event raised $2.5 million for the party.
The president’s 30-minute speech included a lot of recycled material from previous fundraisers like this, but he did reference this week’s special election in Florida, won by a Democrat, and the fight for financial regulatory reform.
Speaking about the upcoming battle over financial regulatory reform, Obama said that every member of Congress is going to have to make a choice that is “very simple, between special interests and the American people.”
