We’re already on the same side my friend... always have been & always will be.
I may post over there a heck of a lot more than I do on FR, but I’ve been a registered member here just as long.
Heck... my homepage is FR!
Shocked! Shocked I say! He pulled this crap at every campaign stop so why stop now?
The kid was definitely a plant. No one in their right mind would randomly call on a random kid. Because kids say the darndest things!
Little Julia is a very young Obamabot coached by her Obamabot mom.

You are right—this was a shameful exploitation of the child by this drama queen mom.
Remember how the left excoriated Sarah Palin for taking her kids to campaign events?
What hypocrites these Dems are!
Yes they are - total hypocrites!
They howl and yell when prolife people want to outlaw abortions because it puts the government in the place of making a decision that should be left to doctor and patient (they say).
Yet, they see NO PROBLEM with the “end of life counseling” being mandated and controlled by government rules and even end of life measures being mandated by the government bureaucracrats running this program!
The media ARE doing their job, and it certainly doesn't include reporting anything that would cast doubt on Zero's agenda (i.e. anything true).
I hope this has been sent to Drudge, Rush, Hannity, BOR, etc...
Whew, that's a relief! This girl desperately needs someone to teach her how fragile are civil rights and the importance of having enough compassion for your neighbors that you don't put them in the hands of a tyrannical, totalitarian government! I'm glad her mom took advantage of this teachable moment. [ Need I really put "/sarcasm" ]
Why is this in chat?

The most insufferable moment of the “town-hall” meeting was when 13-year-old Julia Hall from Malden, Mass., read a question from a card about seeing “a lot of signs outside saying mean things about reform in health care.” Pundit Michelle Malkin dubbed young Julia a “kiddie human shield.” It’s a sad commentary on the health care debate that the president has to resort to this kind of stunt to attempt to insulate his plan from criticism.
Little girl at Obama town hall has not-so-random political connections

Someone needs to get the mods to move it to a more appropriate and visible spot... we need this out there.
I guess I messed up in how & where I posted this info.
Sorry.
Any help in getting in the right forums would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the ping!
If she was REALLY interested in what is going on in Congress and about her future she’d be asking President Obama why he is spending trillions of dollars her generation has yet to even earn and be taxed on.
ping the moerator (you can hit the abuse button on yourself and send a note that way)...and ask them to move it out of chat to the news section.
Done.
Thanks.
Also, as strange as it may sound, Helen Thomas gave the White House Spokesman a lot of flak recently because of the way the White House was cherry picking the 'random audience'. She didn't seem to like it at all. I wonder what she thinks about this? It would be interesting to see her give the White House some more flak for this instance as well. (not that I actually expect that to happen).
Anyway, check this thread out:
Helen Thomas: Not Even Nixon Tried to Control the Media Like Obama
During today’s briefing, Thomas interrupted a back-and-forth between Gibbs and Chip Reid, the White House correspondent for CBS News, when Reid was questioning Gibbs about who was going to decide what questions would be asked of President Obama in a townhall meeting that was scheduled to take place in Annandale, Va., today....Thomas: “I'm amazed. I'm amazed at you people who call for openness and transparency and—”
Gibbs: “Helen, you haven't even heard the questions.”
Reid: “It doesn't matter. It's the process.”
Thomas: “You have left open—”
Reid: “Even if there's a tough question, it's a question coming from somebody who was invited or was screened, or the question was screened.”
Thomas: “It's shocking. It's really shocking.”
Gibbs: “Chip, let's have this discussion at the conclusion of the town hall meeting. How about that?”
Reid: “Okay.”
Gibbs: “I think—“
Thomas: “No, no, no, we're having it now--”
Gibbs: “Well, I'd be happy to have it now.”
Thomas: “It's a pattern.”
Gibbs: “Which question did you object to at the town hall meeting, Helen?”
Thomas: “It's a pattern. It isn't the question—”
Gibbs: “What's a pattern?”
Thomas: “It's a pattern of controlling the press.”
Gibbs: “How so? Is there any evidence currently going on that I'm controlling the press--poorly, I might add.”
Thomas: “Your formal engagements are pre-packaged.”
Gibbs: “How so?”
Reid: “Well, and controlling the public—”
Thomas: “How so? By calling reporters the night before to tell them they're going to be called on. That is shocking.”
OUR ROOTS…
