Anger at economy won't derail Obama on health: WHouse 19 mins ago
WASHINGTON (AFP) – American anger at how much has been spent propping up the US economy will not persuade President Barack Obama to row back on his ambitious health care reform plans, the White House said Sunday.
Tens of thousands took to the streets of Washington on Saturday to attack Obama for his big spending and big government, accusing his administration of leading the United States down the road to socialism.
"I think people are upset because on Monday, we celebrate the anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse that caused a financial catastrophe unlike anything we've ever seen," said spokesman Robert Gibbs.
"We've had to do some extraordinary things... to rescue the financial system, to ensure that our domestic auto industry didn't go out of business, and to stimulate the economy. That certainly cost a lot of money, but it's something that we had to do."
But Gibbs said Obama, who is preparing to deliver a major speech on the economy in New York on Monday, will not be deflected from his top priority domestic goal of overhauling the broken US health care system.
"I think what the American people want most of all... is for Washington to put aside the game playing and start to begin to solve the very big problems that our country faces," he told CNN television.
"I know that's what the president believes he was elected to do. And I think it would be a good start to deal with health care."

It’s growing obvious that Obama and company have decided they have a mandate as well as an obligation to right the past; no longer will it be necessary to engage in lengthy discussions on matters of importance — when will the Congress remind him that he is a majority of one?
The idiot in chief is going to be impeached for incompetence.
What he *is* getting, is desperate.
Gibbs said Obama, who is preparing to deliver a major speech on the economy in New York on Monday, will not be deflected from his top priority domestic goal of overhauling the broken US health care system ........ Translation: “We are going to shove this crap down your throat whether you like it or not.”
Geez, how could one be more clueless than this?
Note to Robert and Obama: We don't want your anti-Americanism!
“I think people are upset because on Monday, we celebrate the anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse that caused a financial catastrophe unlike anything we’ve ever seen,” said spokesman Robert Gibbs.”
This is an example of liberal arrogance. Liberals live by their own brand of logic.
I stopped reading right there...pictures I saw make this statement ridiculous. You can bet your sweet ass Obama knows or will know exactly how many were there. My guess is that he's already tasked the NRO to review the imagery and give him an accurate count.
...a libtards way of saying, this is for your own good...bend over.
Obama is a one termer though, no doubt about that.
President Marie Barack Antoinette.....let them eat cake.
How arrogant can you get - but I know Congress saw this ..... they’re out best hope.
If the GOP can’t stop the healthcare bill (and it can’t), then it should push to advance the effective date. Make it go into effect immediately instead of in 4 years. The sooner it goes into effect, the sooner the Dems will be out of office, and besides, advancing the effective date will cause more Dems to get cold feet, possibly causing the defeat of the bill.
He must still be smoking.
It isn’t that he doesn’t get it, he just doesn’t care.
Government is foaming at the mouth on the amount of money they can pull in taking over Health care. Can you imagine how much this will put in their pocket.
Transparency???? We will never know how much goes in and how much goes out. This money will be used for other things that we have no idea about. Just like the 2 trillion dollars that the federal reserve put out and know one can find out why......
Hahaha, Gibbs, what a doofus.
If the number of people that turned out yesterday
had been FOR health care it would have been,
“Millions turn out to support President!”.
America sees through this “transparent” administration.
At least 20? They say the young kids who voted for obama do not know Reagan.
My son said college kids are idealists. They believe anything is possible. They believed Obama would change America for the better.
Someone said,oh it was Ann Coulter, that Americans are forgetful and they forgot too soon what dems in power do. She says Obama being in office is just a party change.
I have never seen anything like this in my lifetime. I went thru Carter and remembered homes were hard to sell. But nothing like the job losses or I had my head in the sand. My HC premiums were $15.00 a month. I remember global cooling. HEE!!
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!
We have our own Baghdad Bob...
2010 and 2012 can’t come soon enough.
I caught that too. What will the WH be doing to “celebrate”?
Your screen name may be most appropriate for Obama
;)
It would help us all to understand perfectly your intent if you would put /sarc after your remark. There are so many trolls on this and other sites that try to inject their remarks without it so we are skeptical.
Your welcome on the Yosemite Sam soundbite on the other thread.
