What are you doing, October 14th? Would you like to be a "town hall meeting" shill for Barack Obama? According to this official casting notice in Nielsen's Backstage site, you still have time to apply and/or audition.
Here is the link to the live listing in the Backstage casting call.
Here are elements of screen shots, of this notice, taken betwen the hours of 1:00 and 2:00 am CT, today (10/8). We will pan out, as we go. You should be able to click twice, to enlarge the wider (and condensed) shots.
A bit bigger, for more context:
And bigger yet, to see the page's header:
After the last one he had, who could be surprised that they have decided to be more careful, for the next?
Not much need be reported, the pictures being worth their 1K words. It checks out, according to investigators looking in.
However, we will update at this page, in a few minutes. Perhaps they have specified the kinds of acting criteria they need: roles played in the past, live audience, etc.

Everything about ZERO is make believe, fiction, a lie, a deceit, fraud.
History is being rewritten with regard to Bush Town Halls.
I read this article via the Drudge link. I read through the comments. The Kool-Aid drinkers are out in force essentially stating that Republicans did it, so it is ok and all the rest of us who are disgusted are....stupid zombies.
Having made it a habit to check comments at various news sites for several months now, there is an eerie similarity to all the pro-zerO comments: “The Republicans did it, too, and they are worse than Democrats so everyone needs reeducation.” I have begun to wonder if this is just one of those propaganda infiltrations into *news and opinion* that Cass Sunstein endorses.
If they are looking for an obnoxious heckler I could fit the bill.
We are talking MTV crowd. More like “Do you play Beer Pong?”
If you’re local, apply and pretend to be a good little O-bot. Then once you get in there, let him have it!
I’d do that if I was local but I’m about 500 miles north of DC.

thanks for ping. Can this man get more disgusting?
Did you see in the “Category” box is says: Entertainment Jobs, Non-Union TV/Video, Reality TV and Documentary...NON-UNION???? What a hypocrite.
How appropriate, we catch him arranging Kabuki theater for the masses.
“I have begun to wonder if this is just one of those propaganda infiltrations into *news and opinion* that Cass Sunstein endorses.”
Wonder no more. You nailed it.
When Joseph Goebbels arranged propaganda rallies for Hitler, at least they were visually interesting.
This stuff for king obuma is a slap-stick continuation of a really long and stupid clown show.
I would not be surprised if Obama just eliminates real people and instead uses CGI audiences for his political agendas.
I want the “YOU LIE” screamer / heckler role.
"Ooohhh, you plugged the hole, Obammy, but my hole still burns for you" softly cooed Miss March.
Too bad we can’t see the rest of the ad (you have to be a subscriber) — they are also asking for your issues — and if you don’t select the right ones, you won’t be in the audience.
And of course — in general, who reads Backstage, except out of work actors looking for a gig. I guess that is Obama’s preferred audience.
Pathetic.

From Feb 9, 2009:
Obama’s Unscreened Town Hall Audience Is Clean Break From Bush’s Supporters-Only Public Events
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/02/09/obama-townhall-break-from-bush/
And here is how the event is billed:
The President and the MTV Crowd
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/05/the-president-and-the-mtv-crowd/
“The youth-oriented cable channel MTV and five of its sister channels will simulcast a town-hall-style meeting with President Obama on Thursday, Oct. 14.
The gathering, titled “A Conversation with President Obama,” appears to be modeled after Mr. Obama’s appearance on CNBC last month.”
I guess they casted the CNBC audience too...
Non-union....
