White House Disputes Pelosi Contention that Town Hall Protests are "Un-American"

Why is Pelosi not censured or removed as Speaker? Unless one is causing damage to property or threatening life and limb, we as United States citizens have a Constitutional right to protest, speak our minds, or demand answers from our elected officials. For Pelosi to call protesters at the town-hall meetings un-American means she does not believe in the document upon which the freedoms of this nation are based, or she is completely ignorant of the document. In either case, it is just further proof of her lack of qualifications to be Speaker.

Some are now accusing democratic Senators of upsurting without authority which is a criminal offence. What do you all think? I'am researching for more information.

Don't fall for AARP tricks they are already saying losing billions for medicare would not hurt seniors. LIes and more lies.

deserve peloosi? no we do not deserve . enjoy her if you can .....if you can't .time to take your country back

With all of the legislation that has gone through Congress has anyone tried to keep up with all of the constitutional violations and no over sight with the czars?
You’ve heard the president say, present president and his predecessor, “my first job is to keep you safe.” He’s wrong! His first job is to keep us free. It is his only job to keep us free.

Two things folks first Obama wants to push everything through Congress because he can and knows from it's last six month spending spree he will never have the chance again...fear tactics.(ex. I need the bill now!! signs it four days later.)Second someone needs to find help for Pelosi ever look at her eyes and smile ? She is a good candidate for a psych exam.

The majority of American's can see right through Obama's schemes. So keep on struttin around your staged town halls listening to yourself talk.

It's an unaffordable, fiscally unsustainable attempt at a power grab...it'll lead to rationing and more people chasing less care...as for research I spent a month in Europe including *research* on Euro-style healthcare. They've been conditioned to sit back and take what they can get. I worked for a big hospital for six years and worked with terminal and critically ill people putting my in time in the trenches. My girlfriends Dad is doctor. He rails at what lawyers do to hurt doctors and patients and how much it cost him to defend himself. I know what I'm talking about. The Democrat party is totally out-of-control. This healthcare bill is just the latest high cost attempt to transfer power to Democrat cronies on Wall Street and on K street. Enough is enough.

She has publicly denied the very ROOTS of our country! When it was deemed necessary to out-shout the British, our fore-fathers were libeled as "traitors," too. Rulers were not listening then, and they are not now! This debate's roots are far deeper than just the current HC proposal; READ THE DETAILS in it! Is Ms. Pelosis' home state/district backing her on this too?

She should be re-called by the people responsible for electing her as their "voice," because her statement reeks of that old mentality "divide & conquor;" just what does she expect from "We The People" in return? Would she deny her own father, because she IS denying what OUR fore-fathers started to do...create a REPUBLIC (NOT a "democracy!"_) That is the root of the debates, and the core of the problem that needs addressing before we go further. As an Eagle Scout who is outraged by Ms. Pelosi's statement and a grown AMERICAN from birth until death, I say she and others need to be shouted down, because it is increasingly obvious just listening isn't working.

Single payer?
Medicare for all?

Off the table?
Just like Impeachment was...

--Stop living in the past. Why not deal with the ins and outs of health care reform?--

That's too hard.

Good thing the Democrats are on the same page. Almost as much fun as the whole Post Office vs. FedEx/UPS comment by Barry.

Pelosi will be the new presidient of USM.

Wake up Americans!!! Were all headed to being Un-American, because were headed to living in the United States of Mexico
instead of the United States of America.

Obama has already lost the trust of the majority of USA citizens this is trust he will never be able to recoup, He can do all the struttin around he wants at town hall listening to himself talk and making jokes about the concerns of citizens that oppose his agenada's.He is very tranparent to a large voting block these people have long memories and do not forget when it comes around to voting time.

Its right in front of your face people , this man and his stooges are trying to do what reagan was warning us about when he was young in office"

Young? Reagan was our oldest elected President.

The right wing stupidity marches on in his name.

hey are we all that stupid .its like my dad used to say if it was a door it would of smacked us in the face. Its right in front of your face people , this man and his stooges are trying to do what reagan was warning us about when he was young in office ,socialist would one day come , and we have to fight with all of our un-american minds

"Stay un-American, people! Stay loud and proud and fight the socialist wave!"

Yup, yup, yup!

"Stop living in the past. Why not deal with the ins and outs of health care reform?"

Sorry right wing revisionism of the Bush years should not go unchallenged.
