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.
Why of course they were all rabid Obama supporters. What else would a narcissist choose to fill his audience up with?
Bush II sometimes did the same things filling such town halls with republican supporters, such is the nature of the Presidency. This in and of itself is not evidence of Obama’s narcissism, but another straw showing his hypocrisy.
Bush did the same thing at the few press briefings he held while in office.. Even came up with his own go to plant on more than one occasion.
Curt did you criticize Bush for such???
@Real American Patriot:
I see you’re here scattering your drivel again.
How about some proof of what you claim?
The burning question is… which one was high on pot when they asked their question INRE legalized MJ? LOL
Would you expect anything else from a propagandist? He learned democracy from the Soviet Union.

I second the motion. Liberals love making up lies. The bigger the lie, the better.
Oh, I AM surprised. Obama loads up the questioners with sympathetic kool aid drinkers and all the Obamatons can do is point to ONE or two instances over eight years where Bush might have taken ONE question from a supporter.
Obama couldn’t take a question from a REAL AMERICAN.
Talk about an echo chamber!
@Mike’s America:
Ahhh, he did ONCE, Mike…. and look what happened to Joe the Plumber!

About as diverse as a cathouse in Palma de Mallorca.
Mike your comment is a JOKE !! very very funny. The next thing you are going to say is Bush was our most popular President EVAH !!
@John ryan: You’re the joke here John Ryan… but no one is laughing.
The hard fact is that Obama has sealed himself off from REAL AMERICANS. And any that do dare to question the messiah find themselves attacked from the White House and smeared from every left wing hate sheet in existence.
You’re the face of the New Reich and you’re just too blind and stupid to realize it.
Sieg Heil!
Is there such a big difference? I mean in 2005 “W” tried to have an American style town hall meeting in Germany with the town folk but would only use scripted questions and the German government said no. Well I suppose it’s easier to paint by numbers. By the way the White House cancelled the town hall meeting.
