PORTLAND, Me. — President Obama continued on Thursday what might be called his Go-for-It Tour, traveling to this Northeastern state — represented by two moderate Republican senators who balked at his health care overhaul — to dare the opposition party to run against it this fall.
Mr. Obama ridiculed Republicans for apocalyptic predictions about the health care program and needled them about their campaign platform calling for repeal, repeating the “Go for it” challenge he issued in Iowa last week.
Outside the center, protesters made clear their point of view as well with signs like “Marxist in Chief,” “Get Govt Out of Our Private Lives” and “Dump Socialism.”
With supporters inside chanting his 2008 slogan, “Yes, we can,” Mr. Obama’s campaign-style rally here was to be followed by a pair of campaign fund-raisers in Boston later in the day. The selection of these two New England states put the president right in the face of Republican senators from a more liberal part of the country.

Tough talk from a man whose party is set to shallacked.
This is how a communist operates. Confrontational, and ready to apply the Alinsky rules to the opponent.
We should not underestimate this challenge. It has the effect of energizing the MSM, and swaying moderates.
Old ‘Blood and Guts’
His guts....Dems blood in November.
Unless you have 2/3 of both houses of Congress to override a Veto, Obamacare will stay as long as Obama is in the White House.
YA know....I think it’s time for a CAPITALIST STRIKE....
Right, and he goes to a Liberal North East State to act all tough and $hit in front of his astroturfed Union crowd.
I is trembling your majesty!
...he travels weekly to avoid being President. He’s a professional street agitator, that’s what he does best.
Looking for asteroids is common for people who think asteroids are going to do him in.....the jokester better start looking over his shoulder
Half black, half white, governs half of the country, half assed.
We’ll take our chances...with that veto.
But if the Dems lose the house...The GOP can defund the bill until Obama loses in 2012.
Arrogant talk from the pantywaist punk.
There’s nothing more obnoxious than a bad winner.....
They all know whats coming in Nov....they will hear from US.
I predict the NYT will go bankrupt soon.
Then why are they all keeping a low profile?
GOP candidates are already running against 0bamcare all across the country. 0bama needs to check with his pall Bart Stupak.
Dr Dan Benishek, who is running against Stupak, says “Hello”.
“The congressman’s capitulation made Benishek a nationwide sensation.
Within 24 hours, he boasted 20,000 Facebook “friends.”
Within 48 hours, Benishek had raised $50,000 in online donations.
“No way is he [Stupak] going to win,” said Benishek. “I’m going to beat him. Actually, he beat himself by doing that dramatic flip-flop. He could have been a hero.”

” Mr. Obama ridiculed Republicans for apocalyptic predictions “,/i.
To quote 0bama himself:
“You have to love some of the pundits in Washington,” Mr. Obama said. “Every day since I signed reform into law, there's another poll or headline that says ‘Nation still divided on health reform. No great surge in public support.’ Well, yeah. It's only been a week!”..... “
Well, 0bozo, its been a week!And not even one millionth of 0bamcare has come into effect yet. Armageddon will follow sure as night follows day, if 0bamcare is allowed to proceed from 2014.
I hope you're absolutely right, but republicans better not be counting on this because politics can change at the drop of a hat in these, "all about me," times. It would be extremely foolish to just ride on the negative mood right now.
Obama's putttin up, moderate repubs what will you do??? For your own good you should just STFU, and let conservatives handle this!
I read the article to find out all he said and it shows that he thinks we are all complete idiots, the contempt he has for the American people is palpable.
It's painful right now for those of us who love America to watch as he goes about systematically destroying our great country, but the child will eventually confront his limitations (although it's clear he doesn't think he has any).
