MUSCATINE, Iowa — At her home on Tom Sawyer Road here the other night, Bonnie Adkins agreed to begin spreading the word that President Obama’s embattled health care plan needed help.

Ms. Adkins, who for the past two years devoted hundreds of hours helping Mr. Obama get to the White House, hosted a potluck supper that was advertised to Democrats in this eastern Iowa town along the Mississippi River. People were invited to bring a favorite salad or dessert — and their cellphones — to make calls drumming up support for the president’s agenda.

She wondered whether her house would hold everyone, but there was no reason for worry.

“We had 10 people. Not a huge number, but good,” said Ms. Adkins, 55, who has been an Obama volunteer since the first day she saw him during a stop here on March 11, 2007. ...

It is reported today that the Obamo character is calling on those opposed to Satan's Health Care Plan to "tone it down".  I am waiting on the call for Obamo and Satan's minions to "slow it down" - slow down this rush to cram this health crap down the throats of free Americans.

Where is that call?  Would it be heeded?  Should a call to "tone it down" be any more important than a call to "slow it down"?  What exactly is the rush and why do we need quiet? 

If anything should be slow and loud it's the rhetoric and arguments preceding the decision to follow Obamo and Satan's minions down the road to the ruination of the United States of America.

Slow and LOUD.

Just so you know, immigration is next.  And that will be sold as "urgently" as TARP, the stimulus, the budget, Sotomayor's hearings, and health care.  Hurry, hurry, hurry, we don't have a minute to lose, and don't bother reading that bill.  Nobody else does.
