Why now?

What happened?

Have these reporters been daydreaming or living under rocks during all other press conferences/town halls, etc. up until now?

Is "cap and trade" the last straw for even the most entranced supporters?

Are they finally realizing that we are living under the government's dictatorship?

White House Disputes Criticism That Health Care Town Hall Meeting Is Staged



www.foxnews.com...

Of course Obama is going to try to control the media. Things aren't going too well for him, so he needs to spin it in his favor.

The Stimulus Bill, Cap and Trade, and Healthcare. This is the hat trick of the Obama Politburo. He has to get these passed in the first year, because he knows Dems will lose control in the 2010 elections, and he'll be out on his ass in 2012.

Hey I'm glad they are finally waking up.

I thought maybe they were giving him a pass in his first 100 days to get acquainted with everything but now it seems they are waking up to the fact that he expected to get away with it for all 4 years.

If this is like anything else his media spin will drop even faster.

Helen Thomas has been a thorn in White House Secretaries behinds for 50+ years. You should have seen her when she was 40 years old. A real pistol. Ugly as sin but still a pistol!!

Yes.

Only the extremely ignorant think cap and trade is a good idea.

As a "liberal" environmentalist, cap and trade will do nothing to save the environment.

Obama's healthcare plan reminds me of something a Republican would think of. It is absolutely moronic and will only serve to increase the profits of the insurance industry, the very same industry that has single-handedly created the health care crisis in this country.

The bailouts (although Obama doesn't get all the blame for them, he certainly didn't try to stop them) were the worst decisions our government has made since Iraq and Afghanistan.

I don't blame them for giving Obama pre-packaged questions. They don't want him to look as bad as Bush. And that's how bad he's starting to look.

Do they not get that no one cares? Do they not get we have real PROBLEMS here? Do they not get that EVERY administration does this to some degree or another? Did they not hear that HP was told to come up with a Q and they'd be called on? QED. Let's focus, people. Focus.

Is "cap and trade" the last straw for even the most entranced supporters?

Obama is making me feel nostalgia for Bush

Call me crazy, but shouldn't the questions in a Town Hall meeting come from those that are in the hall? Just sayin'...

Anyone who wasn't standing at an Obama campaign event in a trance and actually took the time to read the 124 pitiful attempts at legislation he authored during his brief tenure as a United States Senator that litter the Library of Congress would have known immediately that Obama is an 'empty suit'.

I don't think the man as a single solitary clue in regards to even how to tie his shoe laces without having a handler prep him and guide him from behind the scenes on how to do it.

The man is a pitiful joke as an intellectual and an inovator and is simply good at reading with a rythmic and appealing mezmerizing cadence things that are carefully scripted for him.

If you thought George W. Bush, Jr. was an idiot, Obama makes him look like a Rhodes Scholar when you take his tele-promter and writers, publicists, stagers, handlers and groomers away.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that about him. He really doesn't appear that intelligent to me.

One thing about Bush though no matter how much the media bashed him on his speaking abilities he never carried a teleprompter around with him.

With his teleprompter and an audience of Mini-Me's, Obama will be able to fool many into believing that his policies are the right medicine for this country.

Wait till he raise taxes to pay for his healthcare plan. I bet ya he will convince many that he never promised NOT to raise taxes on those making under $250,000.

He will pull a Bill Clinton and give his own definition of what taxes are.

they ALL use teleprompters. geesh is this stale, old talking point really still kicking?

Oh jeeze, I don't think we can handle another, "well that depends on what the definition of "is" is."

Either way hopefully the media will turn into pitbulls and start going for the jugular.

True, but at least "dumb" Bush didn't make it so frakin' obvious as Obama does.

And when Obama is off-teleprompter, he's worse than Bush. He sounds like a 7th grader describing his science project.

Bush rarely used teleprompters. Go back to campaign speeches he scribbled alot of summary notes written on index cards or on a notepaper. He probably had more trouble wth the teleprompter given his dyslexia

Obama is a horrible president. I know he is a mere figurehead but since he is black he is able to cause people to drool over him and accept it in the butt and like it. I hope enough citizens wake up to reality and will incite a civil war/ revolution.
