Nine-year-old to Obama: 'why do people hate you?'
« on: October 15, 2009, 06:08:50 PM »


Quote
US President Barack Obama got a blunt question from an unexpected quarter Thursday -- a daring nine-year-old boy who asked "why do people hate you?"
Obama, caught up in a divisive political row over his plans for health care reform, called on the boy, Tyren Scott, in a public meeting during his first visit to hurricane-ravaged New Orleans as president.

"I have to say, why do people hate you? They supposed to love you. God is love," Tyren, from Paulina, Louisiana asked.

Obama, appeared tickled by the question, saying "hey, that's what I'm talking about," adding "I did get elected president, so not everybody hates me now... I got a whole lot of votes."

"If you were watching TV lately, it seems like everybody's just getting mad all the time. And you know, I think that you've got to take it with a grain of salt. Some of it is just what's called politics."
   Sounds like a DUmmie Bouncy

Does anyone else think that this was a set up?

Without a doubt this was a set up or was coached.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Considering the event was "by invitation only", you bet it was a set up.

not only was it a setup, but it was a way for him to say again "I won"

I thought he handled it pretty well, myself.  I don't hate him at all, in fact he seems like a pretty likable guy, I just completely disagree with where he wants to take the country.

He handled it well, which is another reason that I think the kid was a plant.

My bad.  I was embarrassed for the child, not Obama.
