Like many others I watched the "town hall" meeting in Portsmouth MA [sic. NH] with the supposedly randomly selected audience.
updated link to video:
www.c-span.org...
The second person "randomly" selected to ask a question was a young girl called Julia Hall from Malden MA (asks question at 29m:25s).
Julia read the following question off a piece of paper: "As I was walking in I saw a lot of signs outside saying mean things about reforming healthcare. How do kids know what is true and why do people want a new system that can help more of us".
This randomly asked question gave Obama the perfect opportunity to dismiss talk about "death panels that will pull the plug on Grandma" and to blame Republicans for everything. Over on the town hall comments thread AtomicPunk09 discovered someone on facebook who might possibly be Julia's mother and had a photo of her with Obama:
www.facebook.com...
All old information and it cannot be proven that Kathleen is Julia's mother, right????
Hold on, look who is sitting next to Julia in the video:
Another "coincidence" is that Julia said she lives in Malden MA and Kathleen Manning Hall's campaign contributions list the occupation "Legal Asst, Looney and Grossman LLP" and a home address in Malden MA:
fundrace.huffingtonpost.com...
Looks like she donated $636 to Obama in 2008.
But wait, there's more:
www.city-data.com...
This lists donations to Obama of $230 on 6/15/07, $250 on 9/28/07, $500 on 9/30/07, $300 on 3/2/08
fundrace.huffingtonpost.com...
On that link we have the $636 previously mentioned from "Kathleen Manning Hall" but we also have $1355 donated to Obama by "Kathleen Hall, Legal Assistant, Looney & Grossman" at the same address.
(as an aside Looney and Grossman loves Democrats - their employees donated $12,101 in total to Democrats and $0 to Republicans)
Back to Kathleen's Facebook Page, here are some of her Facebook friends that I googled to see if they were Democratic insiders:
Martha Coakley, (Democrat) Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts www.marthacoakley.com...
Adam Parkhomenko, former aide to Hillary Clinton, Democrat running for VA House of Delegates (who has the support of the Brady Campaign, President Clinton and Wes Clark) voteadam.com...
Addisu Demissie, National Political Director of Organizing for America and former Ohio Get out The Vote director of Obama for America www.theroot.com...
Adrienne Elrod, Chief of Staff to Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) www.politico.com...
Alan Rosenblatt, Associate Director for Online Advocacy at the Center for American Progress (and HuffPost blogger) www.americanprogress.org...
Alayna Van Tassel, Budget and Policy Director for MA Senator Pat Jehlen www.linkedin.com...
I could go on and on but I think the point is clear - the cute question about "mean signs" was read from a pre-written note by the daughter of a Democrat political insider who is know to President Obama.
Kathleen Manning Hall was a Sponsor of Women for Deval Patrick (Dem Governor of MA) www.scribd.com...

The First person President Obama picked to ask a question was Peter Schmidt:
Representative Peter B. Schmidt (NH)
Current Office: State House
Current District: Strafford 4
Party: Democratic

Notice how the mother isn't looking at Obama or her daughter during the question - she is looking directly at the piece of paper in the girl's hand to make sure she reads it correctly.

Kathleen Manning Hall admits to being the mother but claims her daughter came up with the idea of asking a question:

I do not have a clue what that means. If it means I have to join another website, then forget it.
There were so many plants there I thought I was looking at a greenhouse.
