KABUKI HEALTH-CARE THEATER

THE White House sure likes to put on a show. The Obama administration broadcast a health-care propaganda play this week under the guise of a citizen "town hall."

It was filled with backroom players and a supporting cast of socialized medicine activists. One of three lucky audience members whom President Obama chose for questioning was Jason Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum works for the Washington-based Health Care for America Now. That's the same K Street Astroturf outfit I reported on last week -- the one with a $40 million budget to lobby for government-run health care. The one linked to left-wing billionaire George Soros.

Let's look at who else miraculously drew a golden ticket. Another of the three citizen questioners at the forum identified herself as a member of the Service Employees International Union. That's the same SEIU whose president, Andy Stern, boasted of spending nearly $61 million in members' dues to elect Obama. It's the same union that produced Patrick Gaspard, former SEIU health-care lobbyist and now White House director of political affairs.

But the town hall's climactic moment came when the consoler-in-chief plucked Debby Smith from the crowd to tell her personal health-care horror story. She choked back tears as she talked of her battle with kidney cancer, her joblessness and her lack of insurance.

Smith, however, is no ordinary patient. While she may be "unemployed," she has been rather busy working for the Obama campaign -- as a volunteer for Organizing for America.

Where's Helen Thomas when we need her!

[PubliusMM]

Contrived, staged, planned and professionally executed. This marxist megalomaniac has ‘show biz-ed’ himself to stardom and has begun to believe his own press clippings.

He is dangerous, and the country is in grave peril.

We must take back the country.

Helen, God bless her, seems to have that death pale about her. You have got to know that something is up when Helen Thomas takes vocal objection to a staged infomercial disguised as a town hall meeting. Apparently the White House hand picked the participants and questions and even disgustingly used a rat volunteer who unfortunately has cancer as a sympathy prop.

They are softening the ground to blame all of their one sided pro-Obama reporting on Obama, rather than their chicken-shiite selves.
