"President Obama held a much ballyhooed town hall in Strasbourg, France, on Friday, touted by the White House as an outreach to Europeans on the second leg of the president's "listening" tour.
But the first person he called on was an American -- and the third, too. By the end of the hourlong session, not a single French citizen got to ask the U.S. president a question.
In all, Obama took just five questions from the thousands of people packed into a sports arena after delivering a lengthy speech read from a teleprompter. And the query topics were on the light side; one asked about the expected acquisition of a family dog, another about whether "you regret to have run for presidency."
The president had opened his remarks by saying he had come to "take some questions. You know, oftentimes during these foreign trips, you see everything from behind a window. And what we thought was important was for me to have an opportunity to not only speak with you, but also to hear from you, because that's ultimately how we can learn about each other." Wash.

5 questions after a lengthy speech? That isn't a town hall meeting, that a campaign stop. WTH? No questions from a Frenchie? Is he trying to insult them? Wait, never mind, that's okay. :lmao: Certainly 0bama knows how to speak the language , after all didn't he espouse the importance of teaching our children other languages? Did he just mean Arabic languages?

Wonder how much those 5 were paid to sit through his lengthy speech and then ask their prepared questions?

He knows the capital of France is no longer in Vichy, right?

Obama loses his place on the Teleprompter. TOTUS has a laugh.

It doesn't seem to have stopped the massive fellation of him by the US, British, or French press.

My guess is that they were staffers with questions he already knew the answer to.

I've been reading a lot of British stories that seem to be more about punching him in the junk then anything else.
