Obama Busted Stacking Town Hall... What If Bush Had?
President Barack Obama wanted to put a human face on his plans to overhaul health care, and a Virginia supporter did just that Wednesday. Fighting back tears, Debby Smith, 53, told Obama of her kidney cancer and her inability to obtain health insurance or hold a job. The president hugged her -- she's a volunteer for his political operation -- and called her "exhibit A" in an unsustainable system that is too expensive and complex for millions of Americans.

Thank You for Your Submission!

I'm persistent!!! According to the Washington Post there were 3 questions fielded from the floor by Big O at his "town hall" meeting. All 3 were ringers closely affiliated with the administration: one from the SEIU (Service Employees International Union), one from a member of Health Care America Now and one from a worker for Organizing For America......part of the Democratic National Committee. That's a fantastic coincidence.......or maybe the deck is stacked?
dont jack my country
Bush would never stoop so low as to stick a campaign worker out like that..I would put money on the fact that President Bush would pay for her treatment out of his own pocket, not send her begging on national tv..
ole dust
every time he talks about our fore fathers in his speches it is blasphemy he is not an american president i dont know what he is but if i were being compared to the anti christ i would change my ways if not for myself fer my childrens sake.
Pragmatic
There's always some nutjob comparing somebody to the anti-Christ... nothing new.
IMO the leading candidate for anti-Christ is Rupert Murdoch. Do you think that will change the lies they put forth on fox news?
abell
what a fraudd this sob is. its a shame the people didnt see through it before the election. we must impeach this idiot-soon-or we will have no country

CNN AND MSNBC WOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT BUSH FOR MONTHS MAYBE YEARS.

Lou, only you can be a Con. Where did anyone say they hated America? Got an idea, since you like socialism so much, why don't YOU move to Russia?

If you still refuse to post my comments, at least please have the courtesy to respond to my e-mails and tell me why.
Will you post this one?

Oh......imagine that!!!

I am very sorry for this woman, if she really does have cancer,but the way it looks is so deceptive that one wonders what is real & what is not. This attempt to play on our sympathys is so transparent...what a minute !!! Maybe THAT is what he really meant when he advocated "transpanency". Do you think??? i wonder???
OpheelliyaFireKracker
good one savi, ha ha...you betcha, this is exactly what ob was refering to during his whole campaign, such a prophet the man is, such predictability is astounding..."transparency!"...shamparency is more like it, ha ha!!!!
MsCara
Propaganda at its best. Start out slow by incorporating a chosen few 'random' citizens to plant the seed that the questions are from concerned citizens. Soon the viewers believe the point of view is nationwide and the people of the country really do support everything he says. Then total domination, where no one but him has a point of view. Wake up people!~

He looks like he can't stand touching white people!!

Has he done anything honest yet? Kept any campaign promises? Helped America?

The most deceitful and corrupt administration to ever fall off the Chicago political truck.

Come on people, does this really surprise you? The Bamsters a walking, talking, scripted, teleprompter reading, empty-suited robot. I'd like him to show up at a tea party. But of course keeping with his anti-Amercan ideology he conveniently leaves the country and heads to, of all places, Iran! Is he really on our side?

On our side? Did you really ask that? Would he be elsewhere on this nations Independence Day if he was?
cliff
lol! the question was rhetorical. while he's over there, i hope he just stays!!! And he should take his whole congress and Czars with him!
Granddaddy
Another example of how this man uses people. BUT people allow him to do so!

Seem to me at 53 its a little late to hold on to a job should have started early,taking responsibility for your health care,I am sorry about the cancer but if you have time to volunteer you must have time for a job
Dana Dane
What a joke, he is pathetic. He will be out of power long before his first and only term. Americans will replace the out of control congressman and senators. Its all unwinding, this isn't the change the majority wanted. How stupid they were to elect him. I look forward to 2010, and beyond, now we have work to do. Join a Tea Party, get rid of ACORN.
John
Dana you are so right on, I can't wait for 2010!

Once again- the point here is the promised "openness" and "transparency." If he were being honest, he would say- "This is so-and-so, holds a position with her state DNC and we know of her issue. We want you to know, so...." But no- it's staged, as these things are, as spontaneous. So stop the townhall format and just sell your stuff with honesty- if it's good stuff we'll buy it! If not- we won't! Point is- if you have to sell your product with dishonesty, smoke and mirrors tactics- it just must not be all you say it is. HMMMM.......

He's running a carny show, you know, dancing girls, two headed monsters, "Oh sorry Gibbs" didn't know you were reading this.

Mark Lessard
The people in favor of this want to level or more acurately slant the playing field their way. The goal is to stull all this spending into the budget and then say "Oh my god look what the conservatives did" At that point they will have the government paying for 13 year old getting abortions etc. From there come the systematic reduction in the budgets of all the programs that they don't like"like miliatry and faith based anything" As everyone know once you get the bleeding heart programs in "ie Entitlement" you can never seem to get it out and then the only choice is cutting other programs. Our country will become a bastion of non productivity. Just look at the flow of this and you will see.
JesusWasASocialist
If not the government then who should be paying for 13 year old's abortions? they're not likely to be earning themselves.
PATRIOT UPRISING
How about the guy that gave her an implant?

How about the parents of the 13 year old...

He's more than showing who he is. He's been stacking audiences since the announcement he was running for prez. This guy is ALL about privledge. Did anyone see all the people being flown by Marine One to Camp David for the 4th? Have no idea who all these people were but .......we're paying for it!!

I had that feeling with his grandmother death was staged also. I do not demoralize her death in anyway. And I surely can't prove it.
Call me crazy or a loon I really don't care. And no empathy either.
