In a sign of the effect the nationwide Tea Party movement is having on politics, both the Associated Press and Barack Obama mentioned throngs of protesters outside the Obama town hall meeting held this morning in Raleigh:

The welcome was in contrast to criticism Obama met as his motorcade made its way from the airport to Needham B. Broughton High School. Thick groups of protesters held signs that said "Obamacare is Socialism," "Politicians + Health Care Disaster," and "Hands Off Our Health Care."

In an ad lib from his prepared remarks, Obama mentioned the protesters he saw in Raleigh on his way to the town hall:

"There were some folks cheering, and then were some folks with some signs."

When your opponents acknowledge you, you know you're being effective. Good job Raleigh tea partiers!

Great pics! Saw a great video link on another thread from the Missouri townhall meeting last night. A patriot got up and explained the Constitution to the person taking questions. It was outstanding!

Thanks to those of you who posted the photos; I had to run off and supervise pool-time with the kids.

Here's even MORE good news:

Obama health meeting draws Appalachian protesters

UPDATED: 3:16 p.m.

BRISTOL, Va. (AP) -- 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.

Great find! I don’t know how to link photos either, but here’s a paragraph from that blog that cracked me up. “The protest was civilized on both sides, except for the one lady on the opposite side who kept shouting “Loser! Loser!” and “Our President is in the White House, where is your President?” If she represents the intellect and maturity of the Pro-ObamaCare Movement, I’m even more glad to be on the other side.”

Where’s our President? Beware socialists, she’s coming.


The "lady" who supports Obama's deathcare seems like a fine example of Darwin in action.

The sign I want to see is information from the Census Bureau, 7-1-04:

OBAMA WANTS TO KILL OVER 36 MILLION AMERICANS BECAUSE THEY’RE OVER 65.

wow

Kristin
Is there any chance of having a list of places bozo is going to be and sending emails alerts out to freepers in advance?

The more people demonstrate the more the elected officials will get a clue.

Also we need to bombard the elected officials.

KOS, Huff post and move on have been pretending to be from certain areas and calling those reps.

If this turd ever comes to my neck of the woods and speaks the first thing I will do is pretend to be in support
should be easy as I have a UK accent.

Once I am up there I will let it be known that I along with others are fed up of him and congress not listening to us, that we do not want this and that we are very afraid of where he (exact words) his Marxist pals and his union thugs are moving this country.

This has got to stop because I am seeing how the left is organised and how this country is going down the pan very quickly.

I came here for the American dream and I have that and like hell will I let that go and be like the UK.
I've lived that health care and I have seen what a mess these kind of policies do.

Id some left wing wacky job wants to debate me then I would love to tell them that they should go and live it as I have before they think their messiah is the true word
