Obama out of touch with anti-ObamaCare rejection?
Examiner.com ^ | August 5, 2009 | Martha

Once again, the Obama administration has let the public that know its discontent about ObamaCare means nothing to them. Although 86 percent of Americans are happy with their health care, the White House and Democrats in Congress are determined to run roughshod over them.

KEYWORDS: justsayno; obama; obamacare; protesters
The response from the White House about the citizens attending town halls, angry about threat of ObamaCare, is to call them "manufactured" while people in attendance say they have not been organized but appear at their own volition.

Democrats may have forgotten that the voice of the people can grow until it becomes a crescendo and if dismissed, can destroy a presidency.

Exactly!!

The Obama Commie, Socialist, Leftist, Democrats governing majority believe they have seized the power away from the people, and are being benevolent in their humoring of the public by allowing us to believe we actually have a say in their government.

Obama flipped the bird often during his campaign of lies to fraudulently gain the position he currently has, and he continues to flip us the bird as he progresses with the BIG CHARADE.

If my experience is any guide, this is a classic liberal reaction. Liberals cannot accept that sincere thinking people reject the “benevolent wisdom” they wish to inflict on those they see as too helpless to know what is good for them. So they convince themselves that all dissent comes from evil moneyed interests and agitators under their vile spells.

Enough to make ya puke.

The right does not “manufacture” protest, that is a purely leftist concept and behavior. So, when they face a protest from the right they instantly assume its what they would be doing.

The now failing nascent obama regime is in over their heads, and yet they will not compromise.

Jimmy Carter had a similar attitude, disregarding some very strong and growing sentiment, and he was caught in a web of discontent. Which proved all over again that liberal Southern Democrats were not to be trusted with custodial powers.

What people don’t understand is that most of these “peaceful liberals” would kill us all, given half the chance.

Get that through your heads, people....they want us DEAD.

Just got an email from Obama about 10 minutes ago.

Should I post it here or on it’s own thread?

Anyway, here it is.

_________________________________________
Autumn —

This is the moment our movement was built for.

For one month, the fight for health insurance reform leaves the backrooms of Washington, D.C., and returns to communities across America. Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you.

Home is where we’re strongest. We didn’t win last year’s election together at a committee hearing in D.C. We won it on the doorsteps and the phone lines, at the softball games and the town meetings, and in every part of this great country where people gather to talk about what matters most. And if you’re willing to step up once again, that’s exactly where we’re going to win this historic campaign for the guaranteed, affordable health insurance that every American deserves.

There are those who profit from the status quo, or see this debate as a political game, and they will stop at nothing to block reform. They are filling the airwaves and the internet with outrageous falsehoods to scare people into opposing change. And some people, not surprisingly, are getting pretty nervous. So we’ve got to get out there, fight lies with truth, and set the record straight.

That’s why Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you’re counting on them to act.

But these canvasses, town halls, and gatherings only make a difference if you turn up to knock on doors, share your views, and show your support. So here’s what I need from you:

Can you commit to join at least one event in your community this month?

In politics, there’s a rule that says when you ask people to get involved, always tell them it’ll be easy. Well, let’s be honest here: Passing comprehensive health insurance reform will not be easy. Every President since Harry Truman has talked about it, and the most powerful and experienced lobbyists in Washington stand in the way.

But every day we don’t act, Americans watch their premiums rise three times faster than wages, small businesses and families are pushed towards bankruptcy, and 14,000 people lose their coverage entirely. The cost of inaction is simply too much for the people of this nation to bear.

So yes, fixing this crisis will not be easy. Our opponents will attack us every day for daring to try. It will require time, and hard work, and there will be days when we don’t know if we have anything more to give. But there comes a moment when we all have to choose between doing what’s easy, and doing what’s right.

This is one of those times. And moments like this are what this movement was built for. So, are you ready?

Please commit now to taking at least one action in your community this month to build support for health insurance reform:

Let’s seize this moment and win this historic victory for our economy, our health and our families.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

By the way, I sent that to you guys because this article talks about how they call US organized and the PRESIDENT HIMSELF is ‘organizing’ to campaign for this.

This is such garbage.
