IF THE 49% ARE UNAMERICAN...:

Poll: 49% disapprove of Obama's handling of healthcare policy: A new Gallup poll shows 43% in support of the president. Findings are essentially unchanged over the last three weeks. (Mark Silva, August 12, 2009, LA Times)

The latest measure of public support for the president's initiative follows weeks of action by congressional committees in the House, an ongoing debate in a key Senate committee and a personal campaign by President Obama to build public support for an overhaul of the nation's health insurance.

Nearly half of those surveyed -- 49% -- said they disapproved of Obama's "handling of healthcare policy." And 43% told Gallup's interviewers that they approved

...then what are the 43%? Or is this America whereof the President speaks not governed by consent of the people?
