It didn't take the Tea Party long to get on Fox News and state their prime plan for President Obama's second term. And as the old song, Henry the VIII, said, the second verse will be same as the first.
During the inaugural parade, many of the Tea Party's main mouthpieces said that the plan for the next 4 years is simply to ensure that no funds go to The Affordable Health Care Act, thus stopping any money going to what they call "Obama Care". It doesn't matter to them that in the two years that the act has been in effect that health costs have started to stabilize. Or that the basic plan came from a conservative think tank. To them , it's something that was enacted by the Obama administration, so it has to be defeated. Then, they stated that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid needed to be slash. Not looked into, or trimmed, or made to run more efficiently, but slashed. And what did they like about the President's address. Yes, you're right, that would be nothing. Not even the talk of immigration. And, of course, gun control and global warming was simply laughed at.
If the talk today on Fox News shows the direction the Tea Party is going to take during President Obama's second term, it's going to be another long 2 years, if not four years, in the Capital. The Tea Party will try and block the President at every turn again. Like the old song says, when it comes to President Obama's two terms, for the Tea Party, the second verse will be same as the first.
