My Way News - Emotion, few details, in Obama's health care pitch
Emotion, few details, in Obama's health care pitch

ANNANDALE, Va. (AP) - 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.

"We are going to try to find ways to help you immediately," he told Smith as hundreds looked on at a community college forum - and countless others watched on television. But the nation's long-term needs require a greater emphasis on preventive care and "cost-effective care," he said.

Smith, of Appalachia, Va., is a volunteer for Organizing for America, Obama's political operation within the Democratic National Committee. She obtained her ticket through the White House.

It turns out that the whole infomercial was scripted and the Faker in Chief Obama answered questions that were set ups and none of it was real or spontaneous, even going so far as having his prewritten answers show up on a large teleprompter on the back wall, and was never seen on camera.
For me it does tells three stories. No.1 is Obama is a fraud from the word go, and No.2 is that the ALL Barack Channel (ABC) was complicit in a fake Town Hall setting that was indeed a nothing more than a predigested infomercial where the late Billy Mays would have fit right in.
No.3 In light of these facts coming to the fore can ABC ever be taken seriously as a news organization ever again where Obama and the Dems are concerned.

Of the seven questions the president answered, four were selected by his staff from videos submitted to the White House Web site or from those responding to a request for 'tweets.'"
Obama also called on three "random" people from the audience. The Post points out that "all turned out to be members of groups with close ties to his administration.

I find it hard to believe that no one is seemingly surprised or outraged by this information. Or is that it is no surprise at all to conservatives, moderates and libertarians, and liberals just don't care because it is after all there guy faking it.
Now if I could have found a head line on this story the said;

Obama Caught in Town Hall Meet Completely Orchestrated and Faked ABC Complicit In Hoax
That might have garnered more attention.

HAHA! I love the conspiracy theories from the people that just disagree with him, refuse to listen, or are just plain biased against him from the get go. Give me a break.... : The town hall meeting had tons of details and was very very informative. The people you are quoting are morons.

Harry Guerrilla

It was scripted, the audience was guided towards people who are supporters of the president.

Even Helen Thomas said something about it.

Yeah, ok. I know the question on the videos were picked by his staff, but the ones from the audience weren't and he didn't know what was picked ahead of time anyway.....

phattonez

I've heard that the people who are going to speak at these meetings are contacted the night before by the administration.

The tickets to the event were handed out by the administration and the college.
The audience was more than likely supportive of the president than not.

Public officials do this all the time.

The quotes from morons as some clearly unthinking liberals call them are facts. I for one wanted and want Obama to succeed because if this Amateur in Chief Obama fails the nation fails and the Socialists and our Islamic enemies win.
All of the questions were set ups or the teleprompter would not have had the answers preloaded. There is a chance of course that it was connected to a group of staff members waiting off camera to type in the correct answers.
The opposition to this and his other policies and plans has nothing to do with like or dislike of him as a person, his race, or true nationality, but based on his mistaken beliefs and their ultimate cost to individuals and the Nation as a whole. His Careless Health Plan will leave out around 11 million people, It will force people to bow to his wished or fine them. The cost will be more than monetary it will be another move toward his dream of a Socialist Dictatorship where all individual choice will be replaced by Government mandates with fines for non compliance at the outset and will eventually lead to prison once he cements into place his leftest complete agenda.
Do I dislike him as an individual? Yes you bet I do most vehemently now, but it onlt came with the realization that what he wants and is trying to do is Anti American and goes against the ideals this Nation was founded on and he is pushing us to the brink of total destruction if allowed to continue unchecked.
It is sad that for the last 30 or more years Americans have been dumbed down to the point that AZ. high School students were asked 10 questions in a new report that found only 3.5 percent of traditional public high school students would be able to pass a U.S. citizenship test— bombing out on questions such as who was America's first president. to pass you only had to get 6 out of 10 correct. This leaves us today with a large number of people who put partisan politics above the good of the Nation because they do not understand how it came to be and what little things like the Constitution stand for or represent. In addition they have set aside those ideals because they don't realize Obama is taking us down a road to destruction with Socialism at the core.
It would be wonderful to have everyone covered by some form os Health care or better yet that it free health health care. Obama's plan is not the one and will help to bankrupt the country along with Cap and Trade foolishness that will make not appreciable difference in 50 years to a problem that is not man make to begin with.
