As usual another fixed "town hall meeting". Why does the media run with white house claims that the people against Obamacare are organized by the RNC or the HC insurance and drug manufacturers? Seams to me all the union and Acorn thugs and the people supporting Obamacare are the ones with nicely printed, mass produced signs and the anti crowd has all home made signs. I hear the union members were bussed in as well, not the anti-crowd.

Even the secret service agent I spoke too informed me that the tickets to the event were pre selected. The cards were clearly stacked. How do you have discussion if there is only one side?

I don't think Obama could field a question out of the blue.

Thank you Lowell Sun for acknowledging young Ms. Hall's pedigree. No mainstream media has done so -- not even the Globe who was suckered by the little girl and her mother.(The mother claimed she had never met the president before, yet had a picture of them together on her facebook page.)

All my friends know, my biggest pet peeve of all is liars. I HATE liars. And I really, really hate STUPID liars.(gee -- am I a hater?) How dumb do they think we are?!?!

You can not claim "no plants" in the same town hall event that you have a little girl plant.

Whom ever authored the scene of the two men talking, was off bases in there perception. Two met in the middle of the divide to have a peaceful debate, but you lend a bias support to the supporter of Social/Fascism. Very disappointed.

I'm sorry that someone was not able to ask him how, in accordance with the British Nationality Act of 1948, he was able to become POTUS with dual citizenship at birth?

Liar, communist, and usurper. All around.

Something should be done to help those who are vulnerable and do not have good coverage. However, my family's plan is a good one, and I do not want anything to change for us.

We have done something for most of those people. We gave them a free public education for 13 years so they could become productive members of our society, earn a living, and make an educated decision about whether or not they want to purchase health insurance.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can not make them drink.

Question: if we all have a right to food, clothing, shelter, and health insurance, who is supposed to supply it?

What a joke!!!!

The president had this place packed full of lap dogs and bum kissers, there wasn't one actual hard question asked.

This whole administration is sad joke.

I have been listening to this guy and all I can say is how much longer do we have to listen to his long winded pep talks on issues he has no clue about.

He needs a Pleated Skirt and some Pom Poms.

I enjoy a positive message but first you must understand the message you are being positive about.

Yes, correct!

We need to take it away from the 'Illegal' Aliens and give it to the US citizens that need it. Let the Illegals go back to their own country and stop taking handouts from America on the American taxpayer's dime. We need to stop rewarding illegal behavior.

I believe that the whole health industry should be nationalized. Although President Obama is walking the middle with the proposed bill, it does not go far enough to curb the abuse by medical personnel to guild the lilly.
You go in to see a cardiologist and he suggests that you should get a hip replacement surgery.
You see a immunologist and he recommends swim therapy. You are hospitalized waiting for an angioplasty and a mental health specialist signs up to counsel you. You go to podiatrist and he recommends that you get fitted shoes that cost $3,000 and by the way you can get a pair every year.
Why do these medical professionals are so eager to recommend these services. Medicare will pay and pay and pay.
I refused the recommendations and I am labeled as a difficult patient.

This "town meeting" was a complete waste of time and taxpayer dollars to set up. The deck was absolutely stacked as others have said here. Nobama bumkissers one and all. When Obama lies, will granny die?

I agree with the one that says you need counseling.

He will not make it through his first term without impeachment proceedings begining.

Maybe as early as next year.

Did you hear the good news the recession is over the messiah and his commie Czar's have saved us all. Hail the Messiah.

Stop taking your MEDS for 30 days you may find you do have at least two brain cells that are still functionable.

Thanks for the suggestion Frenchie, but we'll take it from here. Your health care system is broken, so please get you house in order before you make suggestions regarding ours.

I am glad that President Obama is pushing to reform healthcare. Our system is broken.

Other industrialized countries laugh at us for having such an inefficient, heartless, and expensive system. Just today, I heard on the news that British people caused twitter to crash when they wrote in to defend their healthcare system against Republican propaganda.

Thank goodness we have representatives who are willing to stand against the healthcare industry and entrenched interests.
