There were no hay bales, no bunting and no activists with questions about universal health care, clean coal or legalizing marijuana. This forum, after all, was being held in a nation controlled by the Communist Party. Instead of being greeted by voters mulling their options, Obama on Monday met with several hundred well-dressed, attentive and relentlessly on-message students, handpicked by Chinese authorities for the occasion. They listened attentively, nodding in agreement at some of his answers and laughing at his jokes. Most of...

As reported [1] by the Sun Sentinel Saturday (h/t NBer Blonde): Stationed outside the Mizner Park Amphitheater, the protesters jeered at Gore as he took the podium and at those walking into the open-air venue to listen to the speech.

But looking at the video, it seems to be a case if "Do you believe the White House or your lying eyes?" "It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah," the aide is quoted as saying, suggesting that President Obama was just bending over to maintain eye contact with the King and not, in fact, But the video that accompanies the news stories clearly shows President Obama bowing before... associatedcontent.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2386868/posts#comment Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:25:45 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2386562/posts The Conscience of Kansas radio program with host Paul A.

"Let's roll" reportedly were the last words of Todd Beamer before he and other passengers tried to gain control of their hijacked jet.
