There will be opposition. The progressive leftist vision of America that the Democratic Party is attempting to force onto Americans will be resisted. Obama’s attempt to transform America into Jeremiah Wright’s America is not something that most Americans view favorably.

This kind of grassroots opposition to the Obama-Pelosi-Reid government is ridiculed, insulted, dismissed, impugned, and maligned but it can’t be ignored and it is likely to grow as the left grows impatient to implement it’s policies in the face of it.
Democrats are not very tolerant of opposition or criticism. Witness the White House war against Fox News. Isolate dissent. This is evidence of an inability to tolerate opposing views. Obama’s Attorney General is described as having, “walked up to former DC Councilman Kevin Chavous at an event and told him to pull an ad criticizing the administration for its opposition to the DC school voucher program.”
Obama, as President, has so far advanced more vigorous campaigns to eradicate Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, and Fox News than they have against the Taliban in Afghanistan. After campaigning on uniting America it appears that what he meant was that he would do so by eliminating all his domestic opposition. Unity means no dissent.
There are signs here that point to a dangerous proclivity.
The desire for government monopoly is a dangerous one. And make no mistake, it is government monopoly which is desired by the left. Whether it is always the primary motivation or merely the believed means to an end government monopoly is the solution that progressive policies are designed to implement.
“This isn’t about ‘I can’t stand Barack Obama’ — this is about ‘I can’t stand a government that will tread on me,’” said Houston radio talk show host and TV anchor Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo to a rousing burst of applause from the audience.
“Taxes are going up because we have to pay for health care for people who are here illegally,” Pagliarulo said. “We have to pay for health care for people who don’t want health care … We’ve got a government that’s run amok — we’ve got a government that doesn’t care about you or me. It cares about power, it cares about control.” ~chron.com
