Obama: "Teabaggers" not FT Hood Shooter are Extremists

I couldn't help not noticing that Barack Obama couldn't bring himself to pass judgement on the Muslim extremist who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas. But he has no problem labelling citizens who are against his out of control spending sprees as such (from the Corner on National Review):

President Obama, in his pitch to Democrats on the Hill today (from the New York Times):

Mr. Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, recognized Mr. Owens election and then posed a question to the other lawmakers. According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.”

This man has some serious issues.
