Obama's Town Hall Farce

Just like I told you it would yesterday, the Obama town hall meeting in Portsmouth, New Hampshire was chock full of planted questions, including one from an 11-year-old girl.  He's afraid of taking a tough question that he won't be able to answer, so they orchestrate it so that he will never have to take any tough questions.  Meanwhile, Sen. "Benedict" Arlen Specter (D-PA) says that town hall protests are not "representative of America," Rep. John Dingell-berry (D-MI) says that the protesters remind him of the KKK, and Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) actually gets the point:  we don't trust politicians with our health care.

 

Yet again, the media's bias is showing in their coverage of the town hall protestors.  They mostly ignored the extreme rhetoric of the left-wing protestors of the Bush administration.

 

The Chicago Tribune asked some criminal aliens what they thought of the idea of returning to Mexico to take advantage of their socialist medicine system, and they all laughed at the idea.

 

The House bill's Section 1233 lays out the guidelines for old folks to plan for the end of their lives.  John Stossel explains why big businesses are getting involved on the side of the administration in pushing for socialist medicine.

 

John Mackey, the CEO of Whole Foods, has a health care reform plan in today's Wall Street Journal that sounds a lot like mine.  Now there really is no excuse for Republican leaders in Washington to not have ideas.  The Democrats' plans for health insurance are already being tried, and failing, in nine states.

 

Mark Steyn points out what the end-game of the left is:  to build a permanent electoral majority by combining bureaucrats and the dependent class.

Worker productivity grew last quarter at the fastest pace in almost six years.  People are trying to keep their jobs.

 

The House energy bill would require doubling the use of nuclear energy by 2030.  How'd that end up in there?

 

The United States continues to be at a competitive disadvantage as four more developed countries have cut their corporate tax rates this year.  They will be the places that American companies relocate to.

 

Using Cuba as an example, Investor's Business Daily shows why socialism can't work.

 

July temperatures were below average for the United States this year.  It doesn't matter; the earth is still warming at an alarming rate and there are only four months left to save the planet.

 

What happens when government just hands out checks on the streets of New York?  People praise Obama and love their "free money."

 

I did some digging into this thing about the government taking over your computer if you go to the cash-for-clunkers government website, and it's bogus.  I trust Snopes on this one.

 

Today is Cost of Government Day.  That means that if you started working on January 1 to pay for government first, you'd start working for yourself tomorrow.

 

CNN won't allow any more talk radio hosts on their network.  That's fine; I'll just stop watching CNN.
