The President's Town hall in New Hampshire turned out to be is a staged play (theater of the absurd), Tickets were given to a pre-screened audience

As usual for such events, the White House controlled the distribution of the free tickets to get into the gym at Portsmouth High School. And, per usual, the Secret Service will take care of any unruliness.

Any doubt about the event being staged was erased by this banter between the President and the crowd:

THE PRESIDENT:That's what we need to do right now. And I need your help. If you want a health care system that works for the American people -- (applause) -- as well as it works for the insurance companies, I need your help -- knocking on doors, talking to your neighbors. Spread the facts. Let's get this done. (Applause.) Thank you. Thank you. (Applause.) AUDIENCE: Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can! THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. I remember that

You would think that with such a loyal audience, the POTUS would at least give honest answers. Unfortunately that did not happen, as laid out by the Heritage Foundation, the president told tons of whoppers at yesterday's New Hampshire Town Hall:
