Following on the hundreds who protested Barack Obama this morning in Raleigh, the Associated Press reports several hundred protesters were gathered in Bristol, Virginia as of 3:16 p.m. for the scheduled 4 p.m. Obama town hall meeting at a Kroger grocery store:
A crowd of more than 200 protesters opposed to President Obama's health care overhaul have gathered outside a Kroger supermarket in Bristol, Va., awaiting the president's arrival for a town hall meeting.
Some held signs reading, "Obamacare is political malpractice" and "Keep your hands off my health care."
The Wednesday protest drew people from the tri-state region of Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina.
The Roanoake Times reports a pro-Obama rally was organized by the leftist labor union SEIU:
A few blocks from the Kroger a group of supports shared their concerns with the current health care system and reasons why they are urging for an overhaul of the nation’s health care system.
Sponsored by the Service Employees International Union, the rally sought to emphasize the hardship health care premiums have placed on small businesses. It also highlighted the problems Virginians face in paying for prescription drugs.
The Times also reported on the anti-Obama protesters:
Protesters were also waiting for Obama’s arrival.
“We’ll be here until the president sees us,” said Katie Hughes, 18 of Kingsport, Tenn. “It makes me mad. I mean this could mean our grandparents won’t be taken care of.”
The largest group of protesters gathered outside the Kroger parking lot.
Rho Griffin and her husband Blake drove down from Roanoke to tell the president to keep his hands off their health care.
Great job tri-state tea partiers!
Some Dems don’t have four years, some are up in 2010.
While calibrating the following language, the President is “acting stupidly” and using hate speech against millionaires. No beer, thank you, and keep the change.
Meanwhile, check out this funny video concerning 0bamaDeathCare:
Why it's...The Best!tm, LOL.
Yep, Glenn Beck just had a discussion about SEIU being affiliated with ACORN.
That's a good one. Unions worried about small business. Didn't see their concern with the raise in the minimum wage. ROFL.
Every chance I get I make a comment about bozo so others can hear me or while waiting like yesterday I struck up conversations with others waiting.
Every person yesterday agreed that they do not want this health care.
my Doc has said he does not want it and neither does anyone at his office
I guess the Anointed One literally downsided the military..
Whoops! I guess I posted to the wrong thread!
I guess they don't care about the HARDSHIP SEIU has placed on small businesses! In other words, they are lying! They don't care anything about small businesses, period. They want 'FREE' healthcare for all including ILLEGALS!
Tell them to call, fax and show up for their Town Hall meetings when the break for August recess.
You have first hand knowledge you can pass on. 15 + years of the Labour Party brought most of what Obama wants. You saw what can happen. most American have no clue how bad it may get.
I remember there was an nasty ad against Thatcher in the UK for her trying to stop the invasion of “asylum seekers” and other people wanting to get endless freebies by coming to the UK.
“They’re confronting an illegal regime of thugs, and anything could happen.”
I agree, If we see a bunch of grandpas and grandmas pounding on obuma’s thugmobile, ala the Chicago rat Rostenkowski, he’s toast.
I am and will carry on to get this message out.
Sometimes I come across a left loon who asks me about health care and when I tell them that it doesn’t work and why they look at me with that dumb look and then walk away.

Nice job by the seniors and the youngsters who voted for this nightmare!
Sounds like Massachusetts! The Democrats adopted every plank on the Communist/Socialist ticket and they no longer have an alternative party to vote for!
“why is the GOP not talking about about illegals jumping in line for health care and before the elderly?”
It’s called the “stupid” party for good reasons. Besides, McCain will tell you that obuma is an upright and honorable man. McCain lived with and was tortured by communists, yet he still doesn’t know what a communist is. Did I mention that the GOP is known as the stupid party?
Exactly what I was thinking. “200 protesters” is probably more like 500-600. Would love to hear any eye-witness accounts.
