On August 6th, 2009, YouTuber DougFromUpland uploaded a Hitler's reaction video titled "HITLER RANTS ABOUT OBAMA HEALTHCARE AND RIGHT WINGERS," (shown below, left) which has received more than 226,000 views as of July 2012. Meanwhile, conservative bloggers across the country dubbed the reform initiative "Obamacare" and characterized his political ideology as Socialist, a label that is still considered scandalous in the United States politics. The survey post, which asked "What worries you most about the healthcare system in our country?", went onto receive more than 2,200 comments within the first 24 hours.ĭuring the congressional summer recess in August 2009, members of the Tea Party movement rapidly mobilized around the issue of the proposed health care reform bills and organized protests online as well as at the congressional town hall meetings. Shortly after winning the election in November 2008, the newly elected President Obama launched the website, where public opinion regarding the health issues became one of the first major discussion topics on the site.
