Ok maybe some of my American friends on here can help me out with this, cos something that's going on over there at the moment is really puzzling.
I've just seen on the news hoardes of Americans protesting against President Obamas healthcare plan. What is wrong with this plan that people feel the need to protest about it? Are some people listening to the likes of Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity a bit too much? I see Obama getting called a socialist, marxist, communist - whether or not the people saying these things have any idea what they mean, I don't know, some of them spout those things of in one breath seemingly unaware that they are all different things. Is it scaremongering from President Obamas opponents, trying to make people believe the new healthcare plan will cover illegal immigrants, that his policies are socialist etc? Can anyone shed any light on this for me - cos at the moment a lot of the people I see complaining actually look pretty stupid cos it doesn't seem any of them really know why they are protesting and what about exactly. Or are just protesting because they can LOL!
