Obama spoke at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco.....and of course he drew a huge crowd as most Presidents do.Good lord....wait... he drew another crowd of protesters. I always find this quite amusing that everywhere Obama goes....protesters are there!
Now it wouldn't be fair if I didn't tell you about the supporters inside who paid anywhere from $500 - $3000 a plate to hear Obama speak. (What a waste of good hard earned money!
KGO-TV covered the event and reports:
By 11 p.m. many of the protesters cleared out, but many of them acknowledge the President probably never saw them. Some protesters said they still feel good that they got their opinion out there, hoping someone in the crowd heard or saw their message.
People started lining up a few hours before President Obama was scheduled to arrive at the Westin St. Frances Hotel. Protesters had a lot to say about health care and the war in Afghanistan. They argued with each other and held signs with strong messages for the president.

"People in this country had a lot of trust to vote for him to make a change and they really didn't know what kind of change," said Pleasanton resident Karla Bruen. (Yes we all wonder about change) But the president missed the messages; his motorcade slipped him into a hotel side entrance, away from the masses waiting on Powell Street. (Chicken) Inside, he acknowledged the debates raging around the issues.
(Oh really... you believe in a two party system, well I'm beyond shocked. Obama continues to tote the idealism that he's all about bipartisanship, however talk is cheap. Over and over again Obama has not listened or even leaned to the right of the aisle to work together. Over and over the reps have tried to work with the dems on the hc reform, and over and over again they are ignored. Obama...I dare you to call a spade a spade and speak the truth...you don't care about bipartisan.. you care about your leftist agenda. You DON'T care what the American people are telling you. You skirt around the protesters to avoid them, just like you pretended you didn't know about the march on Washington in September. Hmmm you are NOT fooling anyone) And I can't go on with out commenting on "sitting on the sidelines rooting for failure....give me a break Obama....be a man and face your adversity head on!!! I dare you!
"I believe in a two party system where ideas are tested and assumptions are challenged because that's how we move this country forward, but what I reject is when some folks decide to sit on the sidelines and root for failure," said President Obama.

I'm all about conservatism and the two party system, and I realize the same thing happens when reps were in control, but never to this point. Never have I seen the President and the majority party not listen to Americans. Wait... when was the last time that you saw people in the streets by the hundreds of thousands...protesting the decisions of the POTUS?
He told the crowd to get ready for some intense arguing around health care. "We are closer than we have ever been to passing health insurance reform. (Only because the dems have the majority...watch out Obama, 2010 the reps are moving in and life as you know it... will never be the same). Health insurance reform that will finally make quality care affordable for people who don't have it, and bring stability and security to people who do, and slow the skyrocketing health care costs that are crushing our families and businesses and our state and our federal government," said Obama.
What was that old saying?......Gag me with a spoon?
