He said this:
Obama says Beck, Limbaugh fuel 'troublesome' political climate - Yahoo! News
Walking with Smith on the grounds of the White House, the president said that he is "concerned about a political climate in which the other side is demonized" and that "everybody has a responsibility, Democrats or Republicans, to tone down some of this rhetoric." What's different about today, Obama suggested, is the way overheated rhetoric has moved into the mainstream.
After saying this?

I don't think he said anything that isn't true!!! He has to set the record straight. The right has not been telling the truth about what will happen when the bill passed. They have made it sound like the end of the world. You cannot expect Obama to be silent. And he most certainly did not demonize anybody.
Obama mentioned that John Boehner said it would be another Armaggeden. When the crowd booed him, Obama said that it wasn't necessary to do that. All he did was repeat what some of the GOP said. He did not demonize them one bit.
Let's be fair. Was he just supposed to ignore all of the ridiculous things being said and just let people think they were true?? That's very unreasonable.
