First of all, how can the Obama Administration say that the event isn’t stacked in Obama’s favor when the crowd chants “Yes we can!” as the president walks in? It wants us to believe that all of those people just happen to be supporters from the campaign even as his approval rating hovers around 53%?
Second, Obama (unsurprisingly) lied about his support for a single-payer system yet again. Despite the fact that he’s on record (and video) several times talking about how he supports a single-payer system, he claims that he’s never been a supporter of such a system. Apparently he was lying years ago to the AFL-CIO.
Finally, the Democrats called in their typical last line of defense: The child human shield. I didn’t get to see it, but I’m told a young girl was called on to label the anti-ObamaCare signs “mean”. Democrats have been taking serious flak for calling American protesters all sorts of names, so they called out the young child to do it for them. It just emanates “class”, I tell ya.
What a fricken joke.

I tuned in via live stream hoping that this might be an “actual” town hall meeting with real folks voicing real concerns…listened about 1 minute, heard the cheers and claps and realized this was yet another “staged” event for the dear One…
Sheesh, and to think there are really sheeple out there that believe this stuff?

No one believes comrade Obamsky any more. The Kabuki dance is a little stale.

He hands out Obama’s little red book of questions so he can exploit his glorious P.R. moment. It’s nothing to do with Town Halls at all.
