Today's Protest Roundup

The Washington Examiner has a well-linked article, here, covering all the protests to date and why Democrats are "flummoxed".

ABCNews reports that the White House is distancing itself from Pelosi and Hoyer's USA Today article calling Americans who disagree with Obamacare, "UnAmerican".

Support for Obamacare has fallen to a new low of 42% according to this Rasmussen Report here. (May it continue to fall!)

Obamacare will face deep Senior-Citizen disapproval according to The Washington Examiner here. The article states...
So far, the health care battle has not focused specifically on the proposed Medicare cuts. But older Americans are the most avid voters in the country, and the latest Gallup poll shows that just 48 percent of people age 65 or older approve of the job Obama is doing as president -- the lowest of any age group. Much of Obama's problem with them can be traced directly to the health care issue.
Democrats aren't defending Medicare the way they did in the 90s and Senior Citizens are taking notice. This is politics on fire.

The Wall Street Journal has a critical piece on Obamacare and it's inflexible orthodoxies here. The change in Obama's pledges to be "open-minded" does not give the WSJ hope.

I'm sure there will be updates.
