another noted right-wing hate rag

In the stage-managed event, questions for Obama came from a live audience
selected by the White House and the college, and from Internet questions
chosen by the administration's new-media team. Of the seven questions the
president answered, four were selected by his staff from videos submitted
to the White House Web site or from those responding to a request for
"tweets."

The president called randomly on three audience members. All turned out
to
be members of groups with close ties to his administration: the Service
Employees International Union, Health Care for America Now, and
Organizing
for America, which is a part of the Democratic National Committee. White
House officials said that was a coincidence. <GASP!!>

The most dramatic moment came from Debby Smith, 53, of Appalachia, Va. <
a
DNC volunteer>, who was near tears as she described for Obama her fragile
health, including a recently discovered tumor for which she cannot get
treatment.

Obama waved her over and hugged her, saying, "I don't want you to feel
like you're all alone." He promised to "find out what we can do within
existing law" and called Smith the "perfect example" of the kind of
person
his health plan is intended to help.

Another video question came from someone named Steve, who wondered why
the
president does not simply advocate a "single-payer" plan that would
involve the government insuring all Americans.

Obama was ready for the question <SURPRISE!!!!>. He launched into an
<overly regearsed> explanation of the evolution of the American
health-care system, calmly describing how difficult he thinks it would be
to shift it to one based on a European model.

this shit is so great. remember the coverage of gannon a few years ago?
i guess the leftwing media doesn't care unless the plant's a queer.
