Politics A Preview?

Posted by Eli Sanders on Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 9:51 AM

In just a few minutes, President Obama will hold a town hall meeting on health care reform in New Hampshire. Because, you know, town hall meetings have been going so well for Democrats lately.

The president is prepared for disruptions, says his spokesman. Which is good. Because if Obama's town hall meeting looks anything like this video—from Senator Arlen Specter's own town hall meeting this morning—it's going to be a very bad day for health care reform.

"And there you have it. An extraordinary showing out of Pennsylvania. As we watched for the past hour non-stop, an informed, articulate, and very concerned group of American people take their questions directly to their elected representative, Senator Arlen Specter, who they attempted to put on his heels with some very tough questioning. This is American democracy at work. This will not provide fodder for those who describe these folks as angry mobs or dismiss them as un-American. It will however provide a lot of fodder for debate."

–Fox News Anchor Megyn Kelly, remarking on the event in question
