I Don't Want People To Thinking I Just Have A Bunch Of Plants In Here

First, anyone expecting a real town-hall forum to occur with Obama in attendance is deluding themselves. Even the press " even Helen Thomas " criticized Obama the last time he held a “town-hall meeting” on health care. Each of these three meetings will carefully screen attendees and get the questions in advance, to minimize embarrassment to Obama.

Beyond that, town-hall meetings won’t solve the problem of national rejection of ObamaCare. People want insurance reform, but they don’t want a government takeover of the system. The big problem is the legislation itself. If Obama wants to fix that, then he needs a meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, not the people of Bozeman and Portsmouth.

The legislators who have to hold town-hall meetings without Obama won’t get to use the Secret Service to screen attendees. They need to connect to their constituents in order to get re-elected in 2010

. . . and their constituents are angry at an overspending, overreaching federal government that doesn’t know its place. Even if Obama could be in all of these and screen out the dissenters, they’d still be in the districts — and ready to replace ObamaCare-supporting Representatives next year.

ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper

Perhaps the most provocative question came from a woman who brought up concerns about medical panels that would "guide care" according to the administration, the same panels that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called Obama's "death panels" which, she speculated, would determine who gets care and who doesn't.

But halfway through her question, the woman, obviously flummoxed, paused. The president said something to the effect of "you're doing fine."

Then the woman turned to the crowd and said coyly, "He winked at me."

And that was from on...

Did you hear when he was said that Fed-Ex and UPS were doing fine competing with the Post Office?... then he added that the Post Office was the one that was always in trouble. Not instilling a lot of trust in a gov't run healthcare system there! LOL!
Keep it up!
