When President Obama sits down for his MTV town hall this Thursday, the audience of young people who will ask him questions will have been gathered by a casting call.
According to the casting call for the event from talent agency Backstage.com, first reported by National Review Online, the company requests applications for the event, asking what issues the person is “passionate about,” requiring a “short description of your political views,” and also asks for a recent photo.

Keeping the fiction alive!
I am shocked the MSM is even picking this up
Better yet, just go to the Morris Agency and get Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Whoopi Goldberg, Alec Baldwin and all the other liberal Hollywood types. They already have headshots and have the perfect views.
probably just their blog
I sent one in.
It said 18+
I figure 62 is covered by that, no?
USAToday has a (softball) report.
This is why the internet has been such a blessing to Conservatives. Jim Gerahty from the NRO Campaign Spot (which I encourage everyone read)received this tip from an actor and Campaign Spot reader. Between Twitter and Blogs it is everywhere now and the Town Hall stunt will be exposed for what it is, a fraud!
Let the fainting begin.
This sounds pretty desperate to me.
Does this mean that Obama is having difficulty finding an audience to preach to?
Does this mean he will have to shell out some hard cash to fill all those seats?

No wonder MSM organizations are selling for $1 on the street.
No news just stupidity
Any young conservatives here willing to go under cover?
Could make a name for yourself.....

First requirement, you must be a Democrat. Second requirement, you must be on crack. But I repeat myself.

What?! Packing the audience with pre-screened, pre-selected leftist supporters? And then portraying them as just a random sampling of concerned young Americans?
Why don’t they just cut to the chase and hire Baghdad Bob to be the new press secretary?
Oh, excuse me. They already did.
Bump.
Thank you.
