This post isn’t really about the town hall…it’s pretty much two years of pent up frustration unleashed on the town hall.

Excerpt below:

Over the course of the last two years this administration has distorted the “we” in “Yes We Can”, most blatantly during the health care debate. Whenever President Obama evoked the term “we” more often than not he was referring to himself and Congress. Back room deals and convoluted congressional process took the place of the sort of change that comes from the ground up. This distortion was at its worst at yesterday’s MTV, BET, and CMT town hall (see a full recap of Campus Progress’ live chat here.)

The president spent the bulk of the one hour town hall talking over an audience that asked him pointed and honest questions by stating what we already knew. The Dream Act is important, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell must go, bullying is bad, bipartisanship is good. His responses were either obvious or overly wonky for a crowd that wasn’t asking for clarification on the substance of each policy but the state of it.
