Royd 0 #53 August 16, 2009 QuoteWow, the girl's mom was an Obama supporter! AND her class had a mock election and Obama won! She is obviously an INSIDER in the Obama camp. The shame! I'll be the democrats paid her off with an easy-bake oven or something - I'm sure she's on the payroll.Why does Obama need a plant, in the audience, if he's truly up on what's in the bill? Let alone, an 11 yr. old girl, throwing underhand softballs. Is this the height of Obama's mental capacity, to answer a question, or is it just part of his, blatantly obvious;obviously, not to him; attempt to present those, who oppose his bill, as neandrethals?

jclalor 12 #54 August 16, 2009 It seems Obama has answered questions from the right at his meetings as opposed to Bush who screened all of the people at his town hall meetings and would remove anyone they deemed "a threat to be disruptive during the meeting" can you imagine the nerve of people trying to disrupt a townhall meeting. And this from Fox news: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,153720,00.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LyraM45 0 #55 August 16, 2009 Quote Quote A girl from Malden asked President Obama a question at Tuesday’s town hall meeting in New Hampshire about the signs outside “saying mean things” about his health care proposal. Eleven-year-old Julia Hall asked: “How do kids know what is true, and why do people want a new system that can — that help more of us?” The question opened the door for the president to respond to what he called an “underlying fear” among the public “that people somehow won’t get the care they need.” The girl later told the Globe that picking the president’s brain was “incredible.” “It was like a once in a lifetime experience,” she said. Julia’s mother was an early Obama supporter in Massachusetts during the presidential election, so she had previously met First Lady Michelle Obama, the Obama daughters Sasha and Malia, and Vice President Joe Biden. “This was my first time meeting Barack Obama, and he’s a very nice man,” Julia said. “I’m glad I voted for him.” She said Obama won a mock presidential election at the Cheverus School in 2008. And on Tuesday, he approached her after the town meeting. “He said ‘great question,’” Julia said. “I shook his hand and got his picture.” Kathleen Manning Hall, Julia’s mother, was shocked when her daughter said she wanted to ask a question. They wrote it down beforehand, and Julia didn’t miss a beat when Obama called on her. “It was surreal,” said Manning Hall, a coordinator of Massachusetts Women for Obama during the election. Using little girls, dishonesty runs deep in Obama's crowd. The the vans of parents and their hoards of children that I have seen with their "NO SOCIALIST HEALTH CARE" signs picketting on the sides of the road in Houston isn't considered using their little children either, I guess?? Like that five year old kid holding that sign that his mommy made standing in the 115 degree heat all day even knows what an insurance company is and what health care is all about! I think that is ten times worst than having your daughter invoke her right to ask a question in an organized forum, especially if she is old enough to obviously understand what is going on and has been interested in politics for a long time.Apologies for the spelling (and grammar)....

riddler 0 #57 August 19, 2009 QuoteWhy does Obama need a plant, As far as I know, it's standard practice at many political gatherings to select questions from the audience to be presented to the speaker, even in the "town hall" format. McCain did it, Hillary did it, Obama still does it. The benefits of this include not having two people ask the same question, ensuring that the question makes sense (you may have heard one or two elderly people ask rambling nonsensical questions in your time), and covering issues from a variety of topics, instead of having everyone talk about the hot news item of the day. The downside is that your detractors will always accuse everyone that is chosen to ask a question of being a "plant", even an 11-year-old girl.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.
