I Am Watching the Precedent’s Town Hall at This Moment

Or:

How Sister Suffers for Her Swillers

The first question is a pandering softball of epic proportions, not to mention all the adoring cheers, etc., while he was spewing the party line. Now, CNBC says they were told by the WH that all the tickets went out to whomever.

All signs point to: NOT.

So, I’m not thinking a legit forum, being the fishy un-American contrarian I am. Being ever hopeful, I’m waiting for the audience to change that initial impression.

But I’m not sure I can handle any more, since the second question is as sickening as the first.

Dear God: An adorable 9 year old asks about all the signs she sees outside and why are people soooooooooooo against healthcare for e’vrybody…and the man’s a sputtering fool trying to answer. Are there no heros in the audience????

Fox just cut out and said “For our audience, if you want to continue to watch him…”

I don’t. They sanitized this, since many tickets were apparently given out “via Congress people”. Pulled in Stepford wives and the Children of the Corn (Tucker Carlson says, “There’s no WAY that this isn’t a screened audience!”). I can tell you from here at work, we viewers can be classified as a SCREAMED audience.

   I forced myself to watch the last prime-time presser but couldn’t bring myself to do it again.

   It’s a testament to your character that you even tried.

   Glad I was at work.

   There’s no way that Obama would put himself in the spotlight if he thought for even a moment there was a “Joe the Plumber” type in the audience.

   I’m awed, Sis. I owe a drink. No, two drinks. You earned it.

   I’m wondering what the ratings will be for this episode of “The Obama Show”? If his health care infomercial is any guide, pretty low. Maybe even rock bottom.

   We. Are. So. Screwed.

   That should be “I owe YOU a drink”. I wouldn’t want Mr. Bingley trying to horn his way into the action.

   Well, JeffS, with Billy Mays dead, maybe we’ve found the next career for Mr. Obama, once he’s voted out (I hope I hope I hope I hope) in 2012. He could do late-night infomercials. (Just as long as he doesn’t say “You’ll love my nuts!”)
