Thread: White House undeterred by massive protest

Anger at economy won't derail Obama on health: WHouse

Sep 13 10:57 AM US/Eastern

American anger at how much has been spent propping up the US economy will not persuade President Barack Obama to row back on his ambitious health care reform plans, the White House said Sunday.
Tens of thousands took to the streets of Washington on Saturday to attack Obama for his big spending and big government, accusing his administration of leading the United States down the road to socialism.

"I think people are upset because on Monday, we celebrate the anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse that caused a financial catastrophe unlike anything we've ever seen," said spokesman Robert Gibbs.

"We've had to do some extraordinary things... to rescue the financial system, to ensure that our domestic auto industry didn't go out of business, and to stimulate the economy. That certainly cost a lot of money, but it's something that we had to do."

But Gibbs said Obama, who is preparing to deliver a major speech on the economy in New York on Monday, will not be deflected from his top priority domestic goal of overhauling the broken US health care system.

"I think what the American people want most of all... is for Washington to put aside the game playing and start to begin to solve the very big problems that our country faces," he told CNN television.

"I know that's what the president believes he was elected to do. And I think it would be a good start to deal with health care."

Obama is ramping up efforts to sell his reform package and on Wednesday addressed a rare joint session of Congress in a bid to regain control of the debate after an August of feisty town hall meetings dominated by opposition to his plans.

He faced down critics Saturday with a stark warning to a 15,000-strong crowd in Minneapolis, Minnesota that any American could lose their coverage under the current system.

Obama cited new analysis from the Treasury Department that found nearly half of all Americans under 65 will lose health coverage at some point during the next 10 years, with more than a third going without coverage for over a year.

"And these are not primarily people on welfare. These are middle class Americans," he warned. "In other words, it can happen to anyone. There but for the grace of God go I."

That's right, keep ignoring the majority. We'll remind you in 2010 and 2012. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Of course obama is undeterred.........is there anything else to be expected from someone who is in the process of establishing a dictatorship?

Obama lies and we all know it. The health care bill is intended to help big business, hospitols, illegals/anchors, and promote Obama's Fascist agenda.

I think Obama anticipated the American people protesting that's why he has been putting into place a domestic military larger than our regular military. That's why he has been having large scale practice military operations on our soil. That's probably why they have FEMA concentration camps. And why the politicians have secret places that are prepared for them and their families in the event of protest and/or violence.

I think we need to be prepared to do battle against the forces in Washington that want to destroy our Republic and take our country out from under us.

Obama should be afraid. Too many people, as Obama would say "are all wee-weed-up". Tens of thousands of Americans marched through the streets of this country and 2 million showed up in DC. What is it going to take to get the fool's attention?

The more he ignores us he more poed and focused Americans will become. WE ARE AS MAD AS HELL AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!
