Woman Obama Hugged at Town Hall Was His Volunteer
American Spectator ^ | 7.2.09 @ 11:05AM | By Philip Klein

Posted on 07/02/2009 2:11:56 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

Debby Smith, the woman who President Obama hugged during yesterday's town hall meeting and promised to help after she described her difficulties getting treatment for a tumor, "is a volunteer for Organizing for America, Obama's political operation within the Democratic National Committee" who "obtained her ticket through the White House."

One can only imagine what the press would have to say if the Bush White House had done something as cynical.

To sum up, during the session, Obama received questions from an advocate of a socialized, or single-payer health care, a representative of the liberal activist group Health Care for Americans Now, a member of the Service Employees International Union who asked what she could do to help, and one of his own volunteers.

The difference between zero and the Clintons are that the slickmeisters would get angry when the media slipped and somehow gave the “staged” meetings away. Zero laughs in your face and basically admits it, then says what are you going to do about it? The dead giveaway with the Clintons was they didn’t get angry at pre-staged interruptions.

On some show yesterday (possibly Levin’s), I believe that there was a mention as to her having served in the Marine Corps at some point. If she is so destitute that she’s unable to get health insurance, I’m fairly sure that she would qualify for some level of VA health coverage (even with no service connection to her illness).

However, Reid did clarify a few comments from a previous interview. Although ACORN International has already completed its name change over to Community Organizations International, she does not possess any personal knowledge about the re-branding of the national organization and its many components.

Surprise! 0bama is just a ‘made up’ figure, too.

0bama would have been a nobody if it weren’t for known communists. He is ‘a man with no known background’ who just ‘shows up’ after years of being indoctrinated.

We pretty much know he went to Occidental . . . but where’s the actual proof that he attended any other university? Who has seen a diploma? Where are his classmates? Where’s anyone who sat in the photo of him as President of the Harvard Law Review? Surely, somewhere, there’s a YearBook with the photos of those students with their names. Someone could have found them by now.

Fox News hasn’t done enough or followed enough leads.

I know. It’s amazing. Hey, how come he doesn’t take Michele to those Middle Eastern countries?

You are correct, she would be eligible as a Priority 5,7, or 8, depending on her net worth and income.

I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that they’re using plants in these meetings, or the fact that they don’t know how to use cutouts properly.

I mean for crying out loud, at last find someone with a sob story who is more than two degrees of separation from a Democrat front organization.

Der Fuhrer better be watching the UNEMPLOYMENT figures, public reaction to his BETRAYAL of Israel, and the Rasmussen Polls.

A wise American once said - you can fool SOME of the people ALL of the time, and ALL of the people SOME of the time, but you can’t fool ALL of the people ALL of the time.

Der Fuhrer is a Toom Tabard, an Empty Shirt, whose sole talent is reading from a teleprompter, aiding and employing a criminal conspiracy - ACORN - and looking photogenic.

The idol of the radical left is beginning to exhibit his caly feet and, if the GOP would only grow some spine, testicles and guts and EXPELL traitors like the “Infmous Eight” who voted for Cap and Trade, they just MIGHT find that Barack Hussein Obama is the remdy they need to recover their popularity.

Hussein’s poll numbers will dump into the sewer where they belong and may he drag the Congress along with him. The tsunami is building and, once it starts to roll, these clowns are out of office.
