The White House disagreed this afternoon with the contention by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, that the disruptions at town hall meetings are "un-American," as the Democratic congressional leaders contended in a USA Today op-ed this morning.

"I think there's actually a pretty long tradition of people shouting at politicians in America," White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton told reporters on Air Force One when asked about the comments.

"The President thinks that if people want to come and have a spirited debate about health care, a real vigorous conversation about it, that's a part of the American tradition and he encourages that, because people do have questions and concerns ...And so if people want to come and have their concerns and their questions answered, the President thinks that's important.

fyi, i believe that "the anointed one" sees himself as JUAN PERON, circa 1950.

fwiw, michelle NObama (our current worst lady) doesn't have the beauty, posture,poise, fashion sense, class or anything else needed to play EVA, successfully.

both of them make me GAG. (is there any way to "hurry up" 01/20/13???)

It’s ok for him to sic Union thugs on protesters but you can’t call them Un-American!

Hey, they’ve got standards...lol...

By his magnanimous attitude toward the protesters, he hopes to pump up his own sagging polls. This is just a political game to them, as they play with the life and death issue of our health care.

Good, we need to understand this, and stay one step ahead...let’s keep pounding on the basic points of our opposition!

When will the dems replace Pelosi? They have to do it soon, so it doesn’t look like an election year ploy.

2) Do not verbally or physically show or demonstrate dissent, disagreement, or any variation of dissent or disagreement to anything President Obama may say, regardless of accuracy or inaccuracy.

re: your 2nd groundrule - you must also be cautious not to disagree or show any dissent as it is hard to read a teleprompter when there’s lots of commotion - also, the teleprompter may be thrown offline, which could cause mass distress. The TOTUS is VERY FINICKY and particular.

I have had my freedom of speech disrupted and stepped upon for years by leftist environmental activists. Somehow THAT was ok, but these citizens trying to communicate to their representatives that this Reform bill as written is garbage and not wanted is “un-American”?
++++++++++++++++

It is OUTRAGEOUS what they’re trying to cram down our throats. Is is OUTRAGEOUS that when we complain about that, what else they’re trying to cram down our throats, blaming us for it all the while. It’s unreal.
