Something new happened to President Obama during his recent speech at the American Medical Association convention, he was booed. For the first time since becoming President, he faced outright criticism and it came not from the press, but from medical doctors who weren't afraid to express their disapproval of his takeover of the healthcare system.
From Breitbart.com:
For all the young president's popularity, the response he got Monday from doctors at an American Medical Association meeting was a sign his road is only going to get rockier as he tries to sell his plan to overhaul the nation's health care system.
The boos erupted when Obama told the doctors in Chicago he wouldn't try to help them win their top legislative priority—limits on jury damages in medical malpractice cases.
But what could they expect? If Obama announced support for malpractice limits, that would set trial lawyers and unions—major supporters of Democratic candidates—on the attack. Not to mention consumer groups.
