Matt Mayer from the Buckeye Institute reports:

President Barack Obama, joined by Ohio governor Ted Strickland, came to Ohio today to continue his permanent campaign on health-care legislation. His campaign events during the 2008 presidential race attracted crowds of thousands of Ohioans; this time, President Obama managed a crowd of about 200 people. With his negative approval numbers in Ohio (44 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove), it isn't much of a surprise that few showed up to hear him once again talk about health care.

Sarah Palin could pull more of a crowd than Barack without her makeup on. LoL

Who are those hateful people -- sounds like they want to kill Bill pretty badly. I thought Uma already did that.

They found 'Bill' hanging in a closet with his naughty parts in a noose.

...it really is time that President Obama stopped trying to ram health-care legislation through and started doing what he said he would do in the State of the Union speech — focus like a laser on jobs.

Obama's "focus" on jobs lasted what, a week after his State of the Union address. But that's OK. No one really noticed.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you Obama isn't interested in creating jobs. He's much more focused on increasing his power over us.

No Grim you certainly don't need to tell me that. It is evident in almost every move Obama makes. Doesn't it make you look forward to the next 3 years.

Just the way they're going about this health care debacle is scary. I've never seen a collective group of politicians so hellbent on passing something that most of us don't want.

I would venture to say most of them didn't vote for this.

I agree. They voted for universal health care.

They voted for change, not more of the same.

Yeah, but the Big Lobbyists put an end to THAT! At least this bill has good points...

    Which are all nullified by the lack of constitutionality. Requiring I purchase health insurance as a condition of American citizenship will never pass muster.
