merrie says:

Then the President boarded Air Force One for a quick trip to Minneapolis for a rally on health insurance reform.

Meanwhile, back in Washington Beck was broadcasting live on the Fox News Channel as part of something he’s dubbed “The 9-12 Project.” The occasion was a “tea party” march and rally organized by “FreedomWorks” to protest the “irresponsible government takeover of our nation’s healthcare, devastating new energy taxes, and trillions of dollars in red ink.”

The video can be viewed online at www.whitehouse.gov.

“Over the last twelve months, nearly six million more Americans lost their health coverage " that’s 17,000 men and women every single day. We’re not just talking about Americans in poverty, either " we’re talking about middle-class Americans.
