Juanita was tickled pink to see The President of These United States have a little fun with the teabaggers yesterday.

Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in Miami Thursday night, the president touted tax cuts in the stimulus measure and the fact that the tax rate has not been increased for those making less than $250,000 a year.

“So I’ve been amused in recent days by these people having rallies,” he told the crowd at the fundraiser to laughter. “I think they should be saying thank you.”

And there’s this —

The White House noted Thursday that federal taxes were reduced by $173 billion in 2009 and said that the average tax refund is about 10 percent higher than last year.

“Well, it’s not like anybody anywhere anyhow ever for one single minute believed that these teabagger protests were actually about taxes,” Juanita grinned.  “It’s like my Daddy used to say, ‘Baby Girl, don’t get mad at people just because their pilot light went out.  You can be amused by them, but getting mad is just wasting time.’  Daddy went to That Great Oil Patch In The Sky before there was such a thing as teabaggers, but I suspect he saw them coming when he said that.”
