Roger Falen stated:

"The Bush administration as far as I know did not have any network come to
the Whitehouse for an exclusive presentation of their program and exclude
alternative views and select the audience."

George Bush (Jr.) never selected his audience?!?!?!?!?!?

"Controlling his audience was a prime goal of Bush's 2004 presidential
campaign, when anti-war protesters were barred from his public
appearances. People who openly disagreed with him were hustled out of the
hall. We're now seeing the same audience control when Bush speaks about
Social Security. The Secret Service and White House aides apparently spend
a lot of time trying to handpick those permitted to hear him."

Roger goes on to state:

"The republicans do have a healthcare plan and so does AARP."

Care to share the Republican plan with us, Roger?  I am not talking about
a philosophical plan without numbers, much like the economic plan
presented by Rep. John Boehner (careful how you pronounce that name).  I
am talking a solid, enumerated, quantifiable plan.

I anxiously await your response.
