Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | August 11, 2009 | BrianinMO

Here is video today of Fox News breaking away from President Obama's Town Hall Meeting in New Hampshire, and saying it appeared the crowd assembled was more of a "campaign stop." The fox analyst said it is clear the atmosphere was very "friendly," and that it had been prepared by staff that way. Fox carried the President's opening statement and the first few questions, all of which were total "softballs," including one from what looked like a nine year old girl. . . . . (Watch Video)

That little trip to new Hampshire to speak to his hand picked supporters probably set us back at least a Milion dollars.

Nobody is fooled by this travesty except maybe the MSNBC toads who are already practiced in self-delusion when it comes to all things O.

Nothing new here folks. I saw most of it and it seemed like just another scripted Obama pep rally.

The audience was universally friendly and the questions all seemed to be softballs. In any case Obama said what he wanted to say.

First he led off more or less declaring the recession over and taking credit for all of it. Then he castigated the insurance companies and read off a list of all the organizations: AMA, AARP, Nurses’ Association, etc. that had made their separate peace with him. Then he promised the sun, moon and stars.

It was the same old “Trust me, I’ll fix everything.”

Thanks to FOX for not allowing him to keep campaigning instead of just telling the truth to the American people.

Also thank you for showing live coverage of the town hall meetings.
I've had enough of the one sided coverage (and out and out lies) by many media outlets.
Sick of those lying politicians too.

Like Rush says, zero has no bill. So he is truly gifted in that he can campaign for something that does not exist and about which he knows nothing.

Good for Fox....as soon as it becomes clear it’s propaganda it should not be covered.

Obama might just as well have phoned this Campaign 2012 speech in from the Rose Garden. They could have put a cardboard Obama up there by the microphone and those zombie-robots in the NH audience would not have noticed the difference.

In America no one goes without healthcare. It is who has to pay for it. Should I have to pay for yours? I think not!!! Responding to a sign in the photo!!
