President Obama hoped to claim victory on health care reform by now, but this won't happen due to voter opposition, some of which stirred up by the Tea Party activists. Jeff Greenfield reports on this brewing opposition.

To anyone form another country watching scratching their head. I'm American and I am sorry for the confusion, arrogance and ignorance of some of my countrymen. In our defense a lot of Americans believe in universal health care. Unfortunately because we are all sick or working too hard to pay off medical bills. We don't have the time act like raving lunatics on TV to get noticed. No matter what country the poorest of us are the true silent majority.

99% of these people don't even know what Socialism means.

@buddybleau Like a true conservative has to resort to name calling. You bore me I won't reply to any more of your mindless posts.

@buddybleau I sure don't Bet you feel treatened though. The literacy test was used to keep blacks from voting. Now I know why there is a strong link between the tea baggers and the Confederacy. Why most tea baggers are from the south. Bet you are a dumbass tea bagger!

@sueishere25 You are soooo right! Most Obummer voters can hardly spell their name. Or find their way home. That's a fact! Anyone who would vote for a candidate that they know absolutely nothing about is a pure dumbass! The only reason there were more people at an Obummer rally than McCain is because McCain supporters were at work!

[buddybleau]

@jrwel14 Do you feel threatened by a literacy test? Are you one of the dumbasses that voted for Obummer?

[jrwel14]

@supery00n The problem is along with the too much spending. We have cut our taxes too much. Which is why Clinton had a surplus. And, Bush had a HUGE debt. Reagan and Bush had a cut taxes and borrow more philosophy.

@buddybleau The tea party is very much like the confederacy. You are the dumbass. The literacy test you mentioned? That, was used decades ago to keep blacks from voting,(Don't start calling me black) Your comment sounds like one that a confederate would make! LOL! Two thirds of elected Tea baggers are from the SOUTHERN states!

[buddybleau]

@arzgania Son, I think maybe when they circumcised you, they threw the wrong piece away!

[buddybleau]

@jrwel14 The Tea Party understands only too well. They're trying to repair the damage done by a socialist president. A socialist president voted in by ate up with dumbass voters! You know, like you! I suggest we have a literacy test before voting. That would get rid of the idiots!

[buddybleau]

Obummer is a socialist, pure and simple. Three things must happen in order to turn a free country into a socialist one. First you must dumb down education. Second, you must control the news media. Both of these have been accomplished. One more to go. Obummer must collapse the economy. Once the government is feeding the majority of the people, they will do whatever they are told. This is what happens when idiots vote. We really do need a literacy test before voting. Dumbasses should not vote!
