Tens of thousands of right-wing activists gathered in Washington Saturday to condemn President Obama’s plan to reform healthcare. Many protesters praised Republican Congressman Joe Wilson for calling the President a liar during his speech to Congress last night.

Protesters: “You lie! You lie! You lie!…”

Organizers had projected as many as two million protesters would attend, but the DC Fire Department put the final tally at approximately 60,000 to 70,000. Organizers included the Tea Party Patriots, ResistNet and FreedomWorks, a Washington-based organization headed by former House majority leader Richard Armey of Texas. The march was also heavily publicized by Fox News host Glenn Beck. Meanwhile, in Minneapolis on Saturday, 15,000 supporters of President Obama filled the Target Center to hear Obama speak.

President Obama: “If we do nothing, your premiums will continue to rise faster than your wages. If we do nothing, more businesses will close down. Fewer will face — fewer will be able to open in the first place. If we do nothing, we will eventually spend more on Medicare and Medicaid than every other government program combined. That’s not an option for the United States of America. So, Minnesota, I may not be the first President to take up the cause of healthcare reform, but I am determined to be the last. We are going to get it done this year.”
