I love this. Someone from the media actually calls out Robert Gibbs and the Obama administration on their pre-screening of public questions at what is supposed to be an “open” town hall meeting. The guests at the meeting have even been invited rather than allowed in on a typical first-come, first-serve basis. It doesn’t take long for Helen Thomas to get involved either. I’m glad someone is actually saying something about this behavior on the part of the White House. This supposedly “transparent” White House is quickly becoming the Ministry of Truth (refer to Orwell’s 1984).

In my observations of world and American history, I am under the belief that at the founding of the United States of America, we were given freedom like no other nation in history has ever known. In other words, it may very well be that we as Americans have had the maximum amount of freedom that anyone has ever had on this earth while still maintaining law and order.
