However, worried that the President cannot answer tough questions about his plan for health care reform, White House officials carefully screened each member of the audience in attendance and each question asked. This time, the mainstream media took note, even grilling White House spokesperson Robert Gibbs on the choreographed spectacle. In fact, veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas, not known as a conservative sympathizer, even lamented: “IÂ’m not saying there has never been...

The issue is the staged so called kidney cancer patient with no health insurance who supposedly had health insurance when she was again supposedly diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma and rather than have her kidney removed which is the only effective treatment for kidney cancer, she was treated with radiation therapy which caused her more health issues now that she has no insurance.

Here’s what I found: What Obama said: About 2/3 of the cost of the reform that we're proposing is just re-allocating the money that's already in the system. You, the taxpayer is already paying for it. Now, 1/3 of it, we're going to have to pay for it by increased revenues. What I've proposed is that if we capped the itemized deductions, that very wealthy people, the top 2% use on their income tax so that they're getting the same tax breaks...

The Obama administration broadcast a health-care propaganda play this week under the guise of a citizen "town hall." It was filled with backroom players and a supporting cast of socialized medicine activists. One of three lucky audience members whom President Obama chose for questioning was Jason Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum works for the Washington-based Health Care for America Now. That's the same K Street Astroturf outfit I reported on last week -- the one with a $40 million budget to lobby for government-run health care. The one linked to left-wing billionaire George...

One can only imagine what the press would have to say if the Bush White House had done something as cynical. To sum up, during the session, Obama received questions from an advocate of a socialized, or single-payer health care, a representative of the liberal activist group Health Care for...

Supposedly at the "Open for Questions" forum Obama answered several questions selected from a reported 100,000 posted online. He also took a some questions from those in attendance at the event.

It is a surprise that he had to say so, yesterday, because so many people wanted to know.

It's the latest technological transformation of the age-old game of mobilizing voters behind a political campaign. ....

He's speaking in front of a live audience, while the meeting is also broadcast on the net, and on some TV channels. He's answering questions from the invited audience, and also responding to questions put to him online.

Given the amount the human suffering Communists have caused - 70 million killed in China, 20-30 million in the former Soviet Union, and almost one-third of all Cambodians; the decimation of Tibetan and Chinese culture; totalitarian enslavement of North Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Russians; a generation deprived of human rights in Cuba; and much more -- why is "Communist" so much less a term of revulsion than "Nazi?"
