"Vice President Biden offered a similar take. “Do you stand in solidarity” with the movement, Biden was asked Thursday, as picked up by Dave Weigel.

“Let’s be honest with one another. What is the core of that protest? The core is: The bargain has been breached,” Biden said. “Look, there’s a lot in common with the Tea Party. The Tea Party started, why? TARP. They thought it was unfair.”

So basically your classic non-answer-answer. Obama and Biden aren’t on board, but they’re not not on board either."

Tea party started because of TARP? Tea Party started? OWS is an inevitable (I think) organic reaction to a perceived imbalance/unfairness. Tea Party was an astro turfed, manufactured, funded instrument of the GOP via Dick Armey and $$$.

Very odd - and worth reading the full article.

1. Rick Santelli's rant that allegedly started the whole thing was about the stimulus, not TARP.

You were paying for your neighbors extra bathroom..... remember.

That wasn't TARP.

It was OK to bail out banks and financial institutions, just not your next door neighbor.

Joe Biden needs a history lesson.
