Did Pres. Obama just happen to flip the coin and get heads-you-win a dozen or so times in a row? Apparently, if you believe Robert Gibbs. The White House press secretary has claimed that the neither the audience nor the questions would be hand-picked at the town halls the president conducted in Elkhart, IN and Ft. Myers, FL.
I just finished watching the Ft. Myers event and . . . what do you know? Not one tough question. No one who challenged the wisdom of borrowing $1 trillion and letting Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid divvy it up. Instead, virtually every question was of the what-am-I-going-to-get from the government grab bag variety, including:
* more for school construction * more for higher education * more welfare * more job benefits
There was even one lady who made a personal plea for her own kitchen and bathroom. The president said he’d have his staff look into it.
See the video clip for a sample of the questions asked.

Guess Pres. Obama’s luckiest man in the world ping to Today show list.
‘There was even one lady who made a personal plea for her own kitchen and bathroom. The president said he’d have his staff look into it. ‘
I c ouldn’t believe this when I heard it live....
I want a new bathroom and a car. Oh, and my mortgage and gas paid for. Can I meet your staff afterward? Cheers!
I heard that one as well and about urped into my cheap $2 TV dinner.
All I can say is be prepared to hear more of this. He should be called Santa Obama.
‘He should be called Santa Obama.’
Or Karl Marx.
Where do we send our gas receipts, and why did my mortgage company pull from MY bank account in February?
I didn’t see Joe the Plumber at either event. Somehow I think Obama didn’t want to take a question from him.

Did you read the NewsweAk article, “We’re all socialists now”?
They made some snarky reference to JtP, and it WASN’T in an editorial.
He was too poorly spoken to be a plant. He was a joke.
Well look what happened that last time a “real” citizen (Plumber Joe) asked the Zero a question. Folks are scared of having the “government” investigate them. I bet Joe is on the surefire list for audits this year.
Its really easy to understand. Anyone who would ask him a difficult question cannot stand to be in te same room with this guy.
Yup, the one is working toward his goal of making sure U.S. citizens are afraid of him. Irony is...the rest of the world isn't. They know he won't do anything to them. He's a piece of work.
And right behind the kitchen and bathroom lady was another libotard gal mouthing “I Love You” Barack obviously overcome with emotion. I’ll stop here before I get banned.
0 needs to make future appearances accompied by 8 tiny reindeer and a bandana over his mouth. He’s kinda a “give and take guy”
The war on prosperity continues.
