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.

Treason is coming from the press. BO is all smoke and mirrors and the press is having an orgy with this guy in the hope that they gain power and control with BO's power grab. What they do not realize is they will be the ones hung in the streets once BO firmly establishes communism rule in this country
TEA'D IN OHIO
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS
Please stay tuned to Youtube in the near future for an eye opening video.

No, do they do that? Wow, how did you all discover that? Guess, what. I saw it coming last autumn.

Well, well, he isn't very good without his telepromter so it probably is the only way he can keep the people thinking he is intelligent, and answer tough questions off the cuff (ha ha). Nice try BO!
Alexandra
True. this man CANNOT "think on his feet" worth a darn!! pathetic!!

Con- Mander and Thief...He does it every time. Planted people with questions that have a prepared response..pitiful excuse for a Present dent

Communism is running rampant in our WH. EVERYONE should be totally outraged at the PROPAGANDA spewing forth out of our White House, and the MEDIA going along with it!!!!
KNR
Bush did...in fact, Bush NEVER went into a town hall that wasn't stacked for him. Protesters were kept well away, no one was allowed to ask questions that weren't approved. What frickin reality are you people living in? What's next? denying the holocaust?

Too much kool-aid has skewed your sense of reality.
You say "yes master" a lot, don't you

He might have done it, BUT HE DIDN"T HAVE A COMPLACENT MEDIA THAT COWTOWED WITH THIS COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA!!!
HUGE DIFFERENCE don't you think? When we don't have the Media to actually watch our backs, this Country IS in trouble!!!! It is then that we no longer have a Democracy, we now have the same communist propaganda running rampant.
Alexandra
Are you serious?? Bush was HAMMERED by the MSM!! Get real!!
I love freedom
My guess is that the reason Bush did that is because the media was so against him... either way I think it is wrong for any president to do it...
we all need to come together as Americans... this is a Dem/Repub problem they all need to go... our whole government needs a overhaul
Go to a tea party on the 4th and join other patriots who want this country to be great and believe in our constitution!

Name one ? do you have a date and a place??

lol, Funny......Let me ask something of you. Did Bush ALWAYS read from the prompter? Was Bush lost without it and could'nt continue? Did Mrs. Laura Bush go out and expect French stores that were closed on sundays to open up for her big buttocks to shop at, on OUR money while shops here are closing down? Get a Grip!!!!

Bush never held a town hall meeting that didn't have a prescreened audience with the questions asked in advance.
Even they admit it.

He was not on TV everyday either....Your boy can't stay away from the cameras...in the mean time, nothing productive gets done...such a joke, a very bad joke
beachmom
That little hug would not have been allowed unless that woman had been pre-screened and approved of by the secret service.
Everything about this guy is staged ahead of time.
Even his little "date nights" w/ Michelle.
How else would the press know exactly where to be and when?

As a Cancer Survivor of almost 22 years I am sickened at the attempt to manipulate a person's devestating illness as a political tool. The Ironic aspect of this is that eventually a cancer diagnosis could affect if this peron would be able to recieve federally funded health insurence. Talk about being sbbed in the back. Et Tu, Barack???

Imaging, this bafoon is a liar too. SURPRISE

Bush got it from the media for doing this once. How many times is BO going to do it and get away with it? At least the White House Press put Gibbs on the spot about it. BO is wreaking our constitution and economy! He and his family should be thrown out of the White House!
Alexandra
Gibbs...Good old Baghdad Bob!! (what a joke he is!!)

uh...duh....ummm...uhh..I agree

This is Treason on the America people

According to many on this site, everything YOUR president does is treason. Stop whining and enjoy the next 7 years.

Thank God for some of the White House Press Corps for finally speaking out. Of course, most are too afraid to say a word against the anointed one. My only question is, what took you so long.
d
I commend Helen Thomas and Chris?? for putting Gibbs on the spot about this. Anyone have emails for them where we can send a thank you??
nick
um... Bush did, Fox. He DID. The memories of those at fox are shorter than their.....

He can do as he please`e and no one will call him on it!
