The "Tea Party", for the most part, are Republicans conning people into voting for more Bush-style policies, under a pathetic and bizarrely successful guise of "change" because somehow Obama isn't a superhero and hasn't gotten us 100% of the way out of the recession yet, just partway. That's not good enough, so of course everything he has done is a total failure!
Initially the Tea Party wasn't entirely Republican just conservative and opposed to the policies of both parties (Democrats more, but Republicans too in spending), but the Republican party has almost entirely co-opted it.
