President Obama should be charged with false advertising for calling yesterday's Portsmouth, N.H., event a "town-hall meeting." It was a staged, partisan campaign rally.
The Portsmouth rally was the first of three such events planned for this week. If nothing else, it was well-choreographed, if not completely scripted.

Potemkin Town Halls!

The well dressed mobs are carrying mean signs saying mean things like No to Government Run Healthcare.
I guess Michelle was right this country is a mean sign carrying country.
So the girl’s mother proudly adds The Zero’s photo to her facebook page, but the girl is an innocent novice .... Riiiight. /sarchasm - the gaping hole between a liberal and the truth.
“Mr. Obama is on a promotional tour, not a fact-finding mission”
I have a suggestion, he should be on CLUE finding mission...Just saying...
More than half the people oppose Obamacare, but not one could make it into the townhall....

Thanks for posting this. I first saw this on twitter. The little girl was a plant. Her mom is a major Dim who has contributed to Zero over the years. This really needs to go viral.
Obama’s “townhalls” are nothing but cheap puppet shows for idiots. Especially the idiots in his state run MSM.
Do these people ever come to the realization that they’re simply tools? I mean, what do they expect to get out of this? Are these people even paid by the administration??
No tampering with the circus routines allowed when BOZerO the clown is the Master of Ceremonies!
The second person “randomly” selected to ask a question was a young girl called Julia Hall from Malden MA
Julia read the following question off a piece of paper: “As I was walking in I saw a lot of signs outside saying mean things about reforming healthcare. How do kids know what is true and why do people want a new system that can help more of us”.
This randomly asked question gave Obama the perfect opportunity to dismiss talk about “death panels that will pull the plug on Grandma” and to blame Republicans for everything. Over on the town hall comments thread AtomicPunk09 discovered someone on facebook who might possibly be Julia’s mother and had a photo of her with Obama:

The mother - and OBama - committed child abuse right there in front of millions of viewers.
Rush, Hannity and Levin will rip Bammie a new one for this asinine stunt.
That made me think of the one he had a couple of months ago and he downright lied when he used Caterpillar to help push the Radical American Socialist Experiment CRAPulus Spending Bill?
Remember he said “if Congress passes our plan, this company [Caterpillar] will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off.”
And then remember Jim Owens, CEO of Caterpillar refuted Obama’s outright lie, saying, “I think realistically no. The truth is we’re going to have more layoffs before we start hiring again”
What the obamanation was doing was taking advantage of American’s good manners, knowing that the guy wouldn’t come up and call him a liar right then. what a slug!
:
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Caterpillar Inc. on Tuesday announced plans to lay off more than 2,400 employees at five plants in Illinois, Indiana and Georgia as the heavy equipment maker continues to cut costs amid the global economic downturn.
Caterpillar, the world’s largest maker of mining and construction equipment, has seen its sales wither as the sluggish world economy and credit crisis weaken demand for its products, used to build everything from houses to highways. The company had expanded dramatically in recent years, helped by a building boom in developing countries.
In response to the worsening conditions, Caterpillar in January announced job cuts that will ultimately eliminate 20,000 positions. It also said it would slash executive compensation by up to 50 percent and offer buyouts to about 25,000 U.S.-based employees. Caterpillar, which employs about 112,000 people worldwide, said it had imposed a global hiring freeze.
Washington Times AND Fox News calling out the ‘pep rally’ and ‘campaign stop’?? Amazing!
Wow!. Everyone needs to click on your link in post #12. Planted question by the kid of an Obamaite.
I think Hannity already started today. He kept playing the clip of the ditz saying, “He winked at me! Did you see that?! He winked at me.”
"...now...."?? Absurd!
You seem to have overlooked something....The press has been thoroughly corrupt for many decades!
The woman sitting next to the little girl is heavier than the woman standing next to 0. What am I missing?
