Billionaire George Soros, a longtime backer of progressive causes, suggested that members of the Tea Party movement are being “used and deceived” during an appearance on CNN's “Fareed Zakaria GPS” over the weekend.

Asked to share his take on the coalition of conservative activists, Soros signaled his belief that “people in the Tea Party are very decent people, hard-working.” He added, however, that supporters of the movement “have been hit by a force” from a place which “they can't fully understand.” Here's what Soros went on to say:

During the appearance, Soros also weighed in on the job performance of President Barack Obama, particularly as it relates to his administration's handling of the economy.

Soros predicted that Republicans will “pursue a very strong effort to cut services by refusing to have any tax increases.” He suggested, however, that the spending slashing mission would be executed in a way “more directed at cutting services and achieving the ideological purposes” of the GOP than actually giving the economy a boost. Soros said, “I think this will have a negative effect on the economy.”

MANCHESTER, N.H. Republican White House hopefuls condemned President Barack Obama&39;s handling of the economy from the opening moments of their first major debate of the campaign season Monday night,.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Republican White House hopefuls condemned President Barack Obama's handling of the economy from the opening moments of their first major debate of the campaign season Monday night, and pledged emphatically to repeal his historic year-old health care overhaul.

Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, invited as an unannounced contender for the 2012 nomination, upstaged her rivals for a moment, using a nationwide television audience to announce she had filed papers earlier in the day to run – a disclosure in keeping with a feisty style she has employed in a bid to become a favorite of tea party voters.

Obama was hundreds of miles away on a day in which he blended a pledge to help companies create jobs in North Carolina with a series of campaign fundraisers in Florida. He won the two states in 2008, and both figure to be battlegrounds in 2012.
