What is this? Obama is sponsoring a Hollywood-like casting call for a "diverse" audience for his upcoming October 14 townhall to be held in D.C? But, I thought everyone loved The One and would fall all over themselves to turn out in droves for an Obammessiah "townhall"? Why do they have to resort to a manufactured casting call to fill his audience?
The ad appears in the casting call section of an entertainment jobs board called BackStage.com. There Obama and his handlers, agents, writers, re-inventors, and fantasy-stylists are asking for an audience of "diverse interests and political views." And if you believe that last bit, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell ya!
Here is what the ad looks like:

I suppose it is not surprising to see this sort of thing, though. After all, if the audience is carefully controlled and everyone is identified and duly paid to be there -- like always, unions will surely pay their members to attend -- there won't be any inconvenient questions for The One from an unruly audience...

Why not just post it here?
What a hoot if they selected a majority of illegal immigrants;)
Are there limitations other than being over 18 (voters only)?
It’s going to be a scripted Infomercial, not a townhall meeting.
“To insure that the audience represents diverse interests and political views...”
...in other words.
“To insure that the audience represents total adulation of the messiah of kenya and supports his Marxist regime in it’s entirety.”
“It’s going to be a scripted Infomercial, not a townhall meeting.”
Well, if they are inventing an audience for him, I wound;’t doubt it!

Everything about this guy has been scripted and cast from the beginning...
LOL, yeah I am sure they will be “diverse.” They will represent the whole socialist/communist belief system. From Fabian Marxists, to your average Euro-socialists and commies. You know, the WHOLE range of “diverse” ideas.
Wonder what they are paying...I might be interested...
William Shakespeare
- All the world’s a stage (from As You Like It 2/7)
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school.
And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth.
And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part.
The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound.
Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
I got a callback for this audition. I was up for Row 3, Person 7. It was down to me and one guy from I think India.
I got the question “Mister President, what will you do for those of us who have just gotten our new jobs, to make sure another recession will not happen again?” I thought I delivered it very well.
But then the other guy got back from wardrobe, and he got a turban for his head. Shoot, how can I win against that?? Plus he got the question “Mister President, I am so grateful we have had fewer serious terrorist attacks in your two years than in the first 9 months of George Bush. What are you doing to keep this country so safe?”
Dang if he didn’t get the part.
