More orchestrated theater to help propagate the lie that the American public wants the President’s vision of health care reform, now. As Michelle Malkin points out in Little girl at Obama town hall has not-so-random political connections, “There are no coincidences in Obama world.”

Is the White House even listening to the American people on this issue? Do they really think we’ll not see through this obviously transparent staged media event? Even the location was carefully chosen – close enough to deep blue Massachusetts to ensure a friendly audience, but not within the state itself, as Charles Arlinghaus of the Union Leader points out in Why Obama spoke in NH and not next door:

The President decided to speak on government health care plans in New Hampshire because each of the neighboring states has had a failed experiment with exactly the kind of changes Washington wants to bring to all of us.

None of the rhetoric in the President’s speech was new to New Englanders. All of it is eerily reminiscent of the hopes and dreams of Dirigo Choice in Maine and Commonwealth Care in Massachusetts. Both of those plans went into effect, and neither has proved effective, which makes it odd that Congress and the President wish to develop a plan by copying the broad outlines of the “Massachusetts model.”

I doubt anyone will be fooled by this. The debate is over, and proponents of sweeping reform and nationalized care are simply losing credibility.
