Why do some people insist that Obama's Town Hall meeting was 'fake',couldn't one say the same about McCain's?

Seriously, if we're accusing one of being 'fake' or 'staged' why can't they both be?

McCain had almost exclusively town hall meetings. It was his favorite way of speaking to his followers, who were hand-picked.

They haven't caught "people" pretending to be "doctors" at Obama meetings, they caught 1 person pretending to be a doctor at a Democratic meeting, not one of Obama's.

The list of Republican functionaries pretending to be regular housewives and students is huge. How about the college student who challenged Obama to an "Oxford-style" debate? He forgot to mention that he has been working as a staffer for a Republican elected official.

How about Katy Abrams, the woman who was never interested in politics before this issue came up? Except that she has had a group on meetup organizing for Glenn Beck for 3 years.

Who was that woman in Illinois who said she was just a housewife who lived down the street, when in fact she was last year's Illinois Republican party chairman?

And the guy waving a sign and leading chants while wearing an Anthem shirt. Wow.

Republican plants are way ahead of Democratic ones. You do have to lie to make it look any other way. `

because of the fact OBAMA isn't up on the international, surprisingly distant places coverage and the financial gadget. He would not understand the u . s . a . is composed of fifty states, no longer fifty 9, as he has suggested in a speech. the guy is purely too green and naive to attempt and compete against a guy like McCain, who has lived distant places coverage and has served interior the Senate, because of the fact the Chairman of the commerce Committee, which deals with the financial gadget. without his Xeroxed speeches and his TelePrompter Obama is a stuttering, stammering empty tournament.

Instead of claiming McCain's town hall meetings were fake, not that he's had any, a better use of your time would be to prove that obama's were real. Just a thought.

In case you haven't noticed.. McCain isn't the president.

Do you not think we should expect better than a staged production from our president? Or is it okay with you that his to town hall meetings are all rehearsed. Give me a break. Obama is as phony as ever.

And comparing him to McCain or anyone else makes no difference at all.. he is the president.. do you think that if McCain jumped off a bridge Obama should do it too. ( not that I wouldn't endorse this wholeheartedly)

Your logic is illogical!
