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.

Pathetic.

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...
Fake! Propaganda!
Being able to faint on que is a positive. Nurses will be standing by (no doctors are available or wanted).
Is it possible that Rahm Emanuel was the voice of sanity in the administration, and now that he’s gone it’s Katy bar the door?
Potemkin audience!
Great find. I just copied the link to my hometown socialist Obama-loving editor’s page.
WELL? what are we waiting for? :-D

Obama wants to put out the BIG DEM LIE (it's forever 1966 and we're all young and radical... singing OHIO, holding hands, reading the Strawberry Statement...) Gawd, they are soooooo old and tired....

Good work. Thanks.
