More than 92,000 people submitted questions for the President’s highly-hyped internet Town Hall. And in one of history’s most remarkable coincidences, all five of the fully-identified questioners have something in common.
Here’s how the Washington Post explains it:
But while the online question portion of the White House town hall was open to any member of the public with an Internet connection, the five fully identified questioners called on randomly by the president in the East Room were anything but a diverse lot. They included: a member of the pro-Obama Service Employees International Union, a member of the Democratic National Committee who campaigned for Obama among Hispanics during the primary; a former Democratic candidate for Virginia state delegate who endorsed Obama last fall in an op-ed in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star; and a Virginia businessman who was a donor to Obama’s campaign in 2008.
Quick. Somebody call Ripley’s Believe it Or Not.
This is about as likely as the guy who found his wedding ring inside a flounder ten years after he lost it on a fishing trip. Or the monkey who typed Shakespeare. Or Joe Biden going an entire day without putting his foot in his mouth.
