Then Obama pulled the rug out from under them.

In this case, the corporate sponsors of the TP lost control of their creation. Their corporate sponsors don't mind if the tea party types hates Obama and gets agitated about Agenda 21 or the UN as One World Government or Obama's birth certificate. However, opposing a military action that would entail billions in sales to replace the missiles used in the attack - not cool from a MIC perspective.
