Jimmy Carter says he was elected by movement like "Tea Party"

'Tea party' movement faces challenge of having no single leader, goal‎

President Jimmy Carter was on the "Daily Show" last night and mentioned how he would never have been elected except for a backlash anti-incumbant movement when he became president in 1976. The people who elected him were protesting Nixon, the Kennedy Assasinations, Martin Luther King's Assasination, Watergate, Viet Nam etc. then in 1976. It is interesting that he compared the movement that elected him in 1976 to the one now that is upset about 9-11, Globalization problems, no jobs because of globalization etc.

I don't presently see the Tea party not having a single leader as a problem because they have people like Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell. The problem I see is Billionaire's like the Koch brothers hijacking the anger of real people in the "Tea Party" to make money for their businesses by manipulating legislation like they are trying right now in California and have already  succeeded in defeating "Don't Ask Don't Tell." on a Federal level.
