The American Spectator

Robert Gibbs insisted that the audience in Obama's "Health Care" meeting yesterday was randomly chosen by computer. I don't know how this clown can keep a straight face when he tells these whoppers.

I couldn't; of course, I'm not a liberal.

I don't mind the loaded, hand-picked audiences. I didn't mind them for W. In both cases you keep out the nuts/code-pinks/screamers/conspiracy theorists/don't tase me bro types.

All well and good. But, like Waterquiddick or Chappagate, it's the lying and covering and spinning that gets you.

I don't recall W's staff doing that, so the media simply mocked the one-sided nature of it all - all the while still paying attention as they should to whatever the Pres. says.

Here - just the opposite in many ways - O's staff still needs to come to grips with the full spectrum of audiences - from teleprompter adoration to seeting rustics, and quit blurring distinctions.

Maybe it's because the GOP has more practice dealing with incivility in public, but this administration cannot learn fast enough. Not that the press is helping them at all, with few exceptions.

I don't think Congress or the President realizes how upset the American people are about trillion dollar bills being passed in days while not even being read by our public "servants". Are they that out of touch with reality? So be it! There will be a real reality check in November 2010.

I think of Obama’s plan and I think of this image: http://is.gd/2dYxi

I have to disagree with James. I think they know how peeved the American citizens are, I just think they don't give a dam. They have an agenda, and nothing will stop them from realizing it.....no matter what. The congress that is supporting the bill will be non-reelected, but that is a small price to pay for getting what ever Obama wants.....Of course, the congress thinks that Obama will protect them....actually, he is feeding them to the lions! I hope they are all gone by 2012, and hope our constatution can with stand the plundering until then.....

Democrats are going to pay a stiff price for their treachery. 1994 was a picnic for them compared to their fate in 2010.

Dumb liberals... We'll feed them to the wolves.
