A lot of people have been touting Obama's online townhall meeting as a breakthrough and an important way for the President to speak directly to the American people. I'm sorry, I think it was a way for Obama to be able to put on a show about how accessible he was and how open he is about his policies, without really doing either one. His staff sorted through the thousands of questions that were submitted and then they selected the ones he would answer. They said the would choose the most often asked questions, and they may have, I don't know. What I do know, is that Obama is not good at answering questions without lots of prep time. By preselecting the questions, his handlers could carefully craft his answers in such a way that would really not commit him to anything.
More and more I'm coming to believe that Obama is to a great extent a puppet for a group of power hungry people that are bent on changing America to be more socialist or at the least to follow a more European model of government. He has always tied himself to people like that. The radicals and power monsters.
My point is, can't the American people see how he duped them with this monstrosity of a 'townhall meeting'. In a real townhall meeting he would have been expected to take questions from people and come up with the answers, hopefully with some degree of knowledge and understanding of the problem and the answer. His problem is, that he can't be totally honest with the people. He knows that if he really told people what he wants to accomplish, he would enrage a big majority of this country.
