Midknight Review -- new and revised: Proof that the Obama Town Halls have been phonied up, all along -- yet the occasional difficult question gets through.

Remember back in the good old days when Gallup or Rasmussen or whoever gathered a crowd for a televised town hall? Or folks just showed up ala last summer? Under Obama, kiss that off. Only the politically correct need apply -- complete with the looks and political persuasion believed to be of "no danger" to the social viability of the nation. THAT is exactly what the following bit of news is all about. Nothing new, however. We know that this has been happening at all of the Obama "town halls" for some time, now. It is just that it is not everyday that you actually see it set out in the print media.

*******

When President Obama sits down for his MTV town hall this Thursday, the audience of young people who will ask him questions will have been gathered by a casting call.

According to the casting call for the event from talent agency Backstage.com, first reported by National Review Online, the company requests applications for the event, asking what issues the person is “passionate about,” requiring a “short description of your political views,” and also asks for a recent photo.

“MTV, BET and CMT are casting the audience for town hall meeting with President Obama. Shooting Oct. 14, 4 p.m. in Washington, D.C. Seeking—Audience Members: males & females, 18+,” the casting call says, “To ensure that the audience represents diverse interests and political views, include your name, phone number, hometown, school attending, your job and what issues, if any, you are interested in or passionate about. Also, provide a recent photo and short description of your political views.”. . . . source: here

Notes: what is frustrating, here, is the fact that the young people involved will not care about this being a charade.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
