Obamacare
When President Obama said that his intent was to reform healthcare, he insisted that he only was concerned with the nature in which healthcare was financed. In fact, anyone reading the 1000+ page House bill (H.R. 3200) will see that this bill is simply an effort courtesy of the federal government, to take over the American healthcare system, and that is where the president has forfeited the debate: he has not been straightforward about his intent, healthcare is an obviously critical matter, and the combination of those factors has Americans concerned to the point where they are taking to the streets as America has not seen, since the Vietnam Era. Not to mention, the president responding by implying those concerned makeup an "angry mob" that needs to "shut up and get out of the way" is not going to change anyones' position, that this bill is a threat to their health.
