Obama's Meetings with the "People"

But the denials of pre-planning and stacked decks deserve nothing but derisive mockery. Obama’s town hall was filled with backroom players and a supporting cast of socialized medicine activists and ideologues. One of the three lucky audience members whom Obama chose for questioning was Jason Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum works for the Washington, D.C.-based Health Care for America Now (HCAN). That’s the same K Street Astroturf outfit I reported on last week – the one with a $40 million budget to lobby for government-run health care. The one inextricably linked to left-wing billionaire George Soros.

Let’s look at who else miraculously drew a golden ticket. Another one of the three, softball-tossing citizen questioners at the White House forum identified herself as a member of the Service Employees International Union. That’s the same SEIU whose president, Andy Stern, boasted of spending nearly $61 million in members’ dues to elect Barack Obama. It’s the same union that produced Patrick Gaspard, former SEIU health care lobbyist and now White House director of the office of political affairs.

No, they just make it a big deal with a politician does something like this, and let us not forget that Obama is too a politician. It isn't new.

So where the others.

And besides, who plans political meetings with a hostile or uninterested audience, it simply doesn't happen. OMG Obama is meeting Obama supporters he's a total fake. Give me a break, only Obama supporters would turn up anyway.

Rubbish.

I've turned up a couple of times to see (and boo) Mr Brown, but the police held us back about forty yards and only allowed the Labour students anywhere near. This kind of stuff hasn't 'always happened', at least not in democratic countries. It's particularly bad as Obama is such a self-righteous hypocrite, rather than your run-of-the-mill hypocrite, or entertaining hypocrite like GW.

Yes it has, you where held back by the police and hence not part of meeting as such but simply a heckler on the edge. Does anybody here think that a load of local Republicans didn't turn up to stand around the edge and boo. This is what's wrong with Obama, whenever he does anything that any other person would do (like swatting a fly, I'm not kidding) it's news worthy. What's next? Member of Gordon Brown's audience was not a member of the public but a Labour Party Offical, Shock Horror.

Every politician that gets to the top of their country tends to have lingered in opposition and waited to play on disaffection with the ruling party to play the "Change" card.

Democracy is choreographed, it's all about sound-bites, shaking hands with people and being as wafer-thin possible when it comes to real personality or substance, as they're effectively a celebrity. The majority of people don't care about what happens and just go for the pretty pictures; the only way to stop these set-ups is to get people interested enough to challenge them. It's a very self-satisfying time to be a cynic.

At least, in the case of the UK, with the BNP getting seats, people might actually become more interested and challenge these charades in a way besides reactionary eggs and flour. No point making those you stand against seem like the victims...
