BHO Makes His Pitch

BHO's anti-manmade global warming plans defy the laws of physics and, along with his other proposals, defy the laws of economics. Now he has performed the greatest feat of all by beating the laws of statistics. His operatives tell us that his recent town meeting attendees were chosen at random, yet all of them seem to join in the applause and standing ovations. Now the current polls may be wrong but how can they be that wrong? He has less that 50% support on health care yet nearly everyone there seemed to be behind him. Those that had misgivings did not object vehemently and were easily assuaged by his cool sales pitch. Apparently he was able to convince over half of the audience of the folly of their ways. So maybe it was his sales skills and not the luck of the draw that gave him such a tame audience.

In the last meeting, based upon the word count of Sean Hannity, BHO out-spoke the audience by 9 to 1. I thought that these meetings were to give us a chance to tell our elected officials what we thought. That apparently does not apply to these presidential speech opportunities.

“Speech therapy: The ability to soothe or placate dissent about an issue through excellent, if empty, rhetoric."
Witness President Obama’s words at recent town hall meetings about health care…
