Sarah Palin’s Boston Tea Party Speech: Obama Agenda ‘Un-American’

The cross-country Tea Party Express tour built toward a climax Wednesday with a rally steeped in anti-tax symbolism and an exhortation from one of the few politicians it has embraced, Sarah Palin.

The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee said in Boston that President Barack Obama must be rebuffed in this fall’s midterm elections after overreaching with his first-year stimulus law and with health care, student loan and financial regulatory overhauls.

“Is this what their ‘change’ is all about?” Palin asked a sun-splashed crowd of roughly 5,000 gathered just a mile from the site of the original Tea Party from which the movement got its name. “I want to tell them, nah, we’ll keep clinging to our Constitution and our guns and religion – and you can keep the change.”

Later she told the crod, “I’m not calling anyone un-American, but the unintended consequences of these actions — the results — are un-American.”
