Are you an “Extremist?”

The Heritage Foundation Morning Bell asks who is the President calling "extremist?"

Following last Tuesday’s election, the last thing Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wanted to do was allow Members of Congress to go home and talk to their constituents about the $2.6 trillion health care bill she was marshaling through Congress. The centerpiece of Pelosi’s trap and pressure campaign was a Saturday address by President Barack Obama in the Cannon Office Building, where Obama warned Democrats:

“Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit [Democratic voters] and it will encourage the extremists.”

The President of the Unites States describes Americans who do not want to see the federal government have control over half of all health care extremists. Are you one of those extremist? Welcome to the club!
