Today, normal people showing up at town halls across America are
making their voices heard. They are angry and letting their
congressmen and senators know how they feel. Yet, the left calls them
"AstroTurf" and not "real people". They call it "fake anger" and
staged by the hard right. Why do they think that? Because they play
that game all the time and they think we do too. They call on their
minions from ACORN and SEIU to ask staged questions that they just so
happen to have the perfect answer for. People in the audience hold
"prepared signs" chear their every word. That's the kind of town halls
they are used to and so they don't understnad when REAL people who are
not paid, take time off of work to come and as questions. Their first
thought is "Who are you and who is paying you to be here!".
It will be interesting to see how Obama handles the town hall in
New Hampshire. Of course we know the deck will be stacked in his
favor. Maybe the college kid from Florida will be there who so
profusely thanked the President for taking time out of his busy day to
come and talk to them. Or, maybe the lady who was homeless and
needing a home will be there too? Who knows from this crowd the
President will "connect with" and give a presidential "hug" to. I
can't wait to see! It's like watching "The Hills" which my daughter
calls "scripted reality". Surely some person, probably a woman, will
be there that has suffered innumerably under the current system and
will be comforted by "The One". Tears will be shed as she can barely
get her words out to ask her question. "Ahhhhs" we be heard throughout
the room followed by distant chants of "Yes we can! Yes we can" that
will grow slowly and then reach a deafing roar until "The One" raises
his hands to tell the crowd that he has been inspired and heard their
outcry. He will then take the mic and look directly into the
camera (first glancing at his teleprompter to remind him of his next
line of the script) and then proclaim to the American people that he
will make sure that the healthcare bill passes (no matter how many
people polled are against it). He will then stroll slowly over to the
woman and put his arm around her back and assure her that all will be
well and he will take on the evil insurance companies who have hurt her
in the past (though smoking 2 packs a day and eatnig fast food for
breakfast lunch and dinner didn't help her either). The woman will
then faint in his arms like a scene out of some lame religious "Healing
Service" where the pastor says "BE HEALED" and the person faints on the
floor. She will need assistance by the secret service and be escorted
from the building never to be seen or heard from again (hmmm wonder
why?). The cameras will pan the audience for their reaction as people
put their hands to their mouths and their eyes open wide in amazement.
Then the MS-NBC reporter will say (on queue),. "The president has done
it again. Reaching the American hearts and leading our nation in ways
we have not seen for a very long time, if ever. It's no doubt in my
mind that the American people are behind him and this legislation now".
That is how it's going to go down. Mark my word!
