Its unlikely the report was released to coopt the TEA parties. The White House is not that concerned about them as most of Americans didn't care about them. The parties weren't a big threat to a popular president.Most people don't know about the report and the only reason it came to broader attention is because conservative pundits have brought attention to it. The result is that their listeners--the group likely to dismiss the report and support TEA--are the few people who've heard of it.
