I mean what is this shit about not screening audiences and kicking people out of line who are trying to get in? Look folks I'm a simple man. I like to get my talking points directly fed to me after they've been chewed up and digested by by the White House (I know it's disgusting). But really people having their chief executive stand there on stage while the audience just throws any question at him is not what I'm used to. What if they ask an uncomfortable question. What kind of freaky ass weird Twilight Zone shit is this anyway?

3. Ok so Bush DID do townhall meetings AFTER he "became" President
am I understanding you right? Because I was wondering if any president had ever done that before.

5. You're damn straight he did town hall meetings. Except that in his
industrialists were told to dress in jeans and t-shirts so that they would blend in with the unwashed masses. Now that's leadership. Not only that questions were pre-screened and audience members were hand picked loyal republicans. Now that's strong (literally) leadership.
