Quickly, bring the royal golf clubs, and fetch hither the wagyu beef treats.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Going after the youth vote, President Barack Obama got a grilling Thursday from a mostly under-30 crowd of adults, who sternly challenged him across his economic and social agenda and showed little hesitation to press him for greater results.
The tone at the president's latest town hall was set from the start when a woman identifying herself as a Republican asked Obama about his inability to foster his promised bipartisanship, and then a man disaffected with the state of the economy asked Obama: "Why should we still support you?"
What emerged was a sharp, genuine question-and-answer session, not the easy conversation Obama had with supporters just two days earlier when even he acknowledged that one question was a softball. The latest event was sponsored by MTV, BET and CMT, three entertainment networks. Yet there was hardly a moment of levity, let alone an easy question and nothing close to the time President Bill Clinton was asked at an MTV town hall about his underwear preference.
Obama got pressed about race relations, unemployment and taxes, illegal drugs and immigration, racism, Social Security, discrimination and bullying, Cuba, Sudan, education and the environment. The tone and scope of the questions seemed to dominate more than Obama's answers.
Still, for Obama, it gave him a broad pre-election forum to explain his record of the last 20 months and, at times, testily defend it. His goal is to engage voters and try to rally them behind Democrats in the Nov. 2 midterm elections, in which his party is up against huge head winds and control of Congress is at stake.
The newsiest moment came when Obama defended his commitment to ending the ban on openly gay military service known as 'don't ask, don't tell."

grilling?...more like a quick saute by actors.
He got a grilling?
You mean he got custom gold clip-on in-lays for his teeth?
< /s off >
The double standard is hilarious....DEMS are NEVER asked about specifics...REPUBS are all the time, especially REPUB women.
I was going to say.....maybe the actors are pissed at the Big-0, too.
Isn’t this the “town hall” where they sent out a casting call?
Of course he is. his maturity is of a 14 year old. why not go after his age group
Exactly. I wonder why he wasn’t asked, “Other than Citizens United, can you name 5 recent Supreme Court cases you disagree with, and why?”
...when people can’t afford movie tickets they’ll get pissed......
You are exactly correct: Casting Call
Woeful ignorance from a faculty member of what is supposed to be a prestigious university. Why do I get the impression that she probably teaches in the Women's Studies Dept.?
As for students, the reality of 10's of K's of student loans coming due and no jobs anywhere in the near future is a harsh lesson for embracing liberalism.
Can you imagine the ass chewing kenya boy would get if he talked with average Americans?
This is kind of funny though that even with carefull screening for proper loyalties, he still catches an earfull. bambi’s bull just isn’t flying anymore.
I’m watching the replay right now from link above.
So far - with the first two questions - they are grillin’ him.
The economy question was very good - cutting.
Question: he said right off the bat on the question that 7 million jobs were loss ‘before’ he took office - so it’s ‘bushes fault’ - is that verifiable or is he lying?
If the dude wanted the office (and I’m thinking he really didn’t but was pushed into it),
he needs to understand that it’s his baby as soon as he takes the oaf (sic).
Quickly, bring the royal golf clubs, and fetch hither the wagyu beef treats.
And again with the saving of three million jobs. Generalities all the way around. And no one pressed him for specifics. What else is new.
I think it's typical Obama BS. Here's the actual record. What do you think?
