Apparently hoping that voters will be too afraid of getting beat up by the SEIU goons, ala Kenneth Gladney , to attend and let their voices be heard. Hey, Nancy? How’s that most open, honest, and ethical Congress evuh working out for ya? The rats have been hiding behind pediatric wards at hospitals and “prayer vigils” thus far, so the latest shield shouldn’t come as a surprise. Tim Bishop (D, NY-01) is having something called a “health care reform rally” on Thursday, at (of all things) SEIU’s Hicksville NY offices (1199 Duffy Ave, starts at 1 PM).

I’ve lately been so busy reading (and doing non-desk-bound things) that I haven’t written. Bad bad me. Reading so far today: IMAO: Top Ten Things Obama Could Concede to Conservatives . Could , but won’t . Barry doesn’t know the meaning of the word “concede.” You’d think he’d have a dictionary. Hot Air: Members of Congress get rich on travel through huge per diems . There do seem to be an awful lot of wealthy “public servants.” They act like they are our masters rather than our employees.

The Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity is hosting another training seminar at the Sheraton Station Square Hotel. This event is being held at the same time as the RightOnline conference, sponsored by Americans for Prosperity . The Netroots Nation conference, formerly known as the Yearly Kos , is also going on in Pittsburgh.

If you haven’t already heard the news about Obama’s townhall yesterday and his assertion that he doesn’t want anyone thinking he has a bunch of plants in the audience: But then cute little Julia stands up…..awwww, how cute. Ain’t she darling? She asked a question about those big meanies who say mean things about ObamaCare and how do kids know what to believe which of course allowed Obama to seguewa to the fearmongering.

Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit catches President Obama and his staff in the act of stuffing the New Hampshire town hall pep rally with supporters while those who are opposed to ObamaCare are forced to stand outside. Michelle Malkin reports that the little girl who asked about all the mean signs is the daughter of a big Obama donor. Do these people really think they can get away with this all this kabuki theater crap without anyone noticing?Oh, and Michelle informs us that the Democrats are so terrified of having to face their ticked off constituents that they are now hiding in SEIU offices.

Corollary: If 95% of you voted for the guy with the matching skin color, you are racists. *********************************************************************************

The Obama administration thought it was being clever by having 11-year old Julia Hall ask President Obama about the opponents of the Democratic health care plan who are “saying mean things” about health care reform. Lo and behold, the Boston Globe is reporting what seems not to be a shocker (h/t michellemalkin.com): Julia’s mother was an early Obama supporter in Massachusetts during the presidential election, so she had previously met First Lady Michelle Obama, the Obama daughters Sasha and Malia, and Vice President Joe Biden.

Michelle Malkin » Little girl at Obama town hall has not-so-random political connections . I see here that Mighty Casey is already trying to frame the argument about Dems saying this is Graeme Frost all over again. I’ll have a few thoughts about this on tonight’s show.

I’ve made no secret of my disdain for labor unions. It’s so transparent what their real motivations are and it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with “the working man” or any of the other tired union clichés. Unions are about amassing as much money and power as they possibly can legally and illegally for the sole benefit of the scumbags at the top. Labor unions have also become the military wing of the democratic party. If the democrats can’t get the public to go along with their agenda peacefully, they dispatch the union thugs to crack some heads .

Got another hectic day lined up. Here are a few links for your perusal: —– Tom Blumer has the laugh out loud post of the day: Dem Rep Who Opposes Photo ID To Vote Requiring Photo ID For Town Halls (screencaps included) —– Michelle Malkin nails the left again in a devastating post about ObamaCare “human props” – and the left had you thinking that only the eeeevil W had “staged” town halls … —— Via the WSJ , “economists” are saying that the recession is over.
