“Tea Partiers” Protest Obama's Speech in Glenside

About 200 protesters voice opposition to President

Not everyone who showed up to Arcadia University in Glenside, Pa. Monday was there to celebrate President Barack Obama’s visit.

About 200 protesters turned out to voice their opposition at Obama's health care reform speech at the suburban Philadelphia college.

Protesters associating themselves with the tea party movement rallied outside the school, many holding signs denouncing Obama's proposals.

"This legislation is wrong for America," said a speaker. "It takes a problem from bad to worse."

The president is visiting the school as he tries to build support for legislation that would overhaul the health insurance industry.
