Hey, what do Helen Thomas and Chip Reid know? Both of them accused the White House of staging a phony town hall on health care yesterday, before the event began. Robert Gibbs couldn’t contain his incredulousness, repeatedly replying that the press should wait to judge the event, and that he was absolutely positive that the questions for Barack Obama would contain dissent from his policies.
The Washington Post report on the “town-hall event” shows how clumsily Obama faked it: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.”
When Helen Thomas starts to turn on the President, watch out. She is about as "left" as they come.
