That is a photo of a real live (?) audience at a town hall meeting with Dear Reader.
This is the caption that went with the photo: "Members of the audience listen as U.S. President Barack Obama participates in a town hall meeting on health care at Shaker Heights High School near Cleveland, Ohio, July 23, 2009."
Well, thank you for that info, Charles! I know he puts me into a stupor...but I would have thought his hand-picked audience would have been in raptures over the First Teleprompter being in their midst! LOL!
