Negative Response to health care bill

An irate Michigan father worried over what Obamacare would do to his handicapped adult son reports he was threatened after trying to get a direct answer from Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., and has a warning of his own for those who made the threats. Sola said he demanded information about what Obamacare would provide for his son, and Dingell responded with a statement that there is an amendment to address the needs of the handicapped.
However, Sola said that amendment doesn't exist. The controversy erupted just as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (pictured above and to the right) expressed in a commentary that those who object vocally to the health care plan are "un-American."

According to a report from Associated Press, McCaskill faced "shouts and jeers" even in "friendly territory."
At Poplar Bluff, Mo., the report said, an audience of 500 applauded the loudest when Obama was called a socialist.
Another audience member asked, "Where's the birth certificate?" alluding to the dispute over Obama's still-unreleased eligibility documentation.
AP reported McCaskill was visibly frustrated and at one point said, "You guys are so mean."
The Obamacare package will be handled by Congress in a month when members return from several weeks of hearing from their constituents.
