President Obama Time for a REAL Town Hall Meeting?

No teleprompters!

No hand picked, screened "approved" questions.

Any average American can attend.

Questions taken randomly from those in attendance.

Could he possibly do this?

Would he?

If he really cares about the American people, this would be a great way to discuss his policies and hear what average Americans actually think.

Politically dangerous perhaps, but would go a long way toward improving his image among Americans and provide a REAL opportunity for dialog with the people who have serious concerns and doubts about his agendas and policies.

He seemed to like the town hall format when campaigning, his agendas are stalled, the economy is hurting a lot of people, rather than cleverly written speeches we need to hear from him.

So I thought I'd waste this space and post with this, because President Obama can't talk to us, he wont, at least not without a scripted and controlled venue and his beloved teleprompters.

Then again, it would be nice to be proven wrong here.

Got the guts to face the American people President Obama?

As much as this would be great for us , it is a no win for Obama.

Never gonna happen.

Obama has definitely not been a lame duck President.

He has opened a lot of cans of worms, and he will never be unprepared

or hi-jacked to answer questions that could embarrass him.

That would be the safest bet for sure.

A bet I'd like to lose.

If he did this, and was able somehow to come out of it better off, that would be impressive.
