Obama Tea Party Float Miffs Viewers

Naches (Wash., near Yakima) community members are outraged at a Tea Party parade float in the Sportsmans’ Days Parade last weekend which featured a man dressed as President Barack Obama whipping a teenager with a riding crop.Last weekend was the Naches Lions Club’s annual Sportsmans’ Days celebration. The three-day event featured everything from a fishing derby to a hot rod show to a teen dance. At 10 a.m. Saturday the grand parade got underway, but dozens of people who attended the parade were witness to something they didn’t quite expect. Local members of the Tea Party sponsored a float, decorated to look like a Radio Flyer wagon, pulled behind a truck. In that truck a number of people sat holding signs that read everything from “Obama Care” and “Healthcare Take Over” to “Wasted Tax Money”/ Rob Kauder , KXLY. More here .
