奥巴马就职后不久,美国兴起了茶党运动。茶党运动是右翼民粹主义运动,其政治立场与共和党接近。从茶党的成员及其支持者的构成来看,有白人至上的种族主义倾向。茶党运动兴起的根本原因在于,美国资本主义制度基本矛盾所造成的经济动荡、周期性金融危机所引发的社会恐慌。茶党运动的兴起暴露了美国政党制度的局限与缺陷。茶党作为一支组织松散但不可忽视的政治力量,已对2010年11月的美国中期选举造成了较大影响。2012年的美国大选是检验茶党运动未来走向与成败的重要试金石。
<<The Tea Party Movement was rising very soon after the Obama’s inauguration. The Tea Party Movement is belonging to the right-wing Populist movement,of which the political stand is close to that of the Republican Party. The members and supporters persist in racial bias in favor of white supremacy. The fundamental cause of the Tea Party Movement’s rise consists in social panic caused by economic turmoil and periodic financial crisis brought about by the basic contradictions of U.S.’ capitalist system. The rise of the Tea Party Movement has exposed the limitations and deficiencies in American party system. The Tea Party Movement is now a political force which should not be neglected,and it has produced a great influence on U.S.’ mid-term election in November 2010. The U.S.’ general election of 2012 is an important touchstone for testing the future trend and success or failure of the Tea Party Movement.
