On thursday, Obama is holding a so called town hall on MTV and some other networks. Well the news is now out that the "audience" who will ask questions of the president is being preselected ads part of a casting call. Sunlen Miller of ABC News is reporting: "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."
This may be the first time that head shots are needed to attend a supposedly unrehearsed political event. I wonder when the script for the Townhall got written. My guess is that after Obama got slammed by his own supporters at a recent event in Washington, the White House does not want to take the chance of more embarrassment. Instead, we will get pre-selected actors pretending to be young people with spontaneous questions.
What ever happened to honesty? It seems that the Obamacrats just do not understand what it means.
