re: #542 JustMyView

That is not true. He has a list of people to call on, but he does not know the questions in advance. The usual order has been to call on reporters from the wire services, then the networks and big newspapers, and then smaller outlets. Obama has varied that somewhat to incude reporters from other outlets.

Like the Health Care Town Hall?

You know the one where he gave the poor cancer patient a big hug?

The cancer patient who turned out to be a democrat party operative?

Just like that?
