> [@Stephe96](#): > > It’s one thing to run on vague promises to reform health care; it’s quite another to see some of the actual appalling details he’s proposing. Especially given the state of the economy after his insane economic bail-out plan. Support for his risky scheme is dropping like a rock. When given a look at the alternative, most intelligent citizens are perfectly happy with their current plans, thank you very much. Seventy percent of American favor the UHC plan. The repubs stated in 200 and 2004 that health care going as it was would bankrupt the US. So where do you find these most Americans you presume to talk for? ---

> [@athelas](#): > > White House spokesman: [nobody panic!](http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/no-increase-in-presidential-security-despite-town-hall-anger-2009-08-14.html)Or perhaps it’s just that the administration just realizes that while it may be in the best interests of [Mark Potok](http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=8324481&page=1) and the SPLC to push their political fetish porn about how there’s a scary right-wing mob out there THAT COULD SNAP AT ANY MINUTE! - it’s not really in the best interests of the administration itself, to say nothing of the country. I’m one of the people afraid somebody’s going to snap. Of course, I was afraid during the campaigns, too, and nothing happened, so I’m willing, nay eager, to believe that I’m just being paranoid. I meant to add: It doesn’t help when I hear groups that include a guy I know standing around at JCPenney regretting the fact that no one had shot Obama. ---

You mean, like they did during the Clinton Administration? During which we got the Oklahoma City bombing and the Branch Davidian standoff?
