Three random strangers at Obama’s town hall meeting not quite random after all

The next question will come from that complete stranger in the second row."

President Obama called on three complete strangers at his healthcare town hall forum get-together and ice cream social, three random Americans who just happened to be in the neighborhood.

As the Washington Post reports, “The president called randomly on three audience members. All turned out to be members of groups with close ties to his administration: the Service Employees International Union, Health Care for America Now, and Organizing for America, which is a part of the Democratic National Committee. White House officials said that was a coincidence.”

Yup. A whole roomful of people showed up and our Fearless Leader coincidentally calls on three who just happen to be members of organizations that back his healthcare legistlation.

That’s not a coincidence, it’s a friggin’ miracle. What are the odds? No wonder this guy wanted to speak at Harry Reid’s fundraiser in Las Vegas. Let it ride, baby. When you’re hot, you’re hot. Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

Either that or the whole damn thing was as pre-planned as a White House press conference.

Make your own decision.
