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.
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.

The people speaking out at the town hall meeting are reflecting the growing public doubts and unease about Obama and the Democrats program trying to force them into a medical system they don't want: the government running their health care program.
The White House is joined by that of the Democratic National Committee in dismissing the protesters against the "public option plan" for health care reform.

"Just say no!" and "No, he can't" which was shouted by many at the town meetings, is beginning to catch on across the nation.

A Rasmussen poll in late July showed 53 percent opposing the Obama-backed plan. That is up from 45 percent opposed in June. In August, 48 percent of U.S. voters rated the U.S. health care system as good or excellent. The latest Rasmussen Reports shows that just 19% rate it as poor.
Some Democrats are aware that the protest could carry over to the 2010 election. After facing the protesters at a town meeting, Sen. Alan Specter of Pennsylvania, said that in spite of the commotion, he thought there were some individuals there with serious concerns and that
I wouldn't be surprised if that's the harbinger of things to come....as lawmaker face voters on the divisive issue of overhauling health care.
Will history repeat itself in how the protest about the Vietnam War began with small groups that were ignored by Lyndon Johnson and made him a one-time president? Democrats may have forgotten that the voice of the people can grow until it becomes a crescendo and if dismissed, can destroy a presidency.
