Does Obama ever take questions from the audience?

[Reciprocity]

I seen a lot of his speeches, but have never seen him have a town hall meeting type before.

1. Obama has not taken any questions in his last 12 or more events

[stillcool]

3. I think the crowds are too large...

[cali]

5. That is patently false

He took questions yesterday in Vegas. And please provide a link showing that he hasn't taken any questions for in his last 12 events. It's my understanding that he takes questions at the vast majority of his events, and the only time he didn't was at 2 or three events in NH.

9. Do you have a link for that?

Thanks in advance.

[Joe the Revelator]

11. Link or is it just more bullshit from you?

I've never used my ignore button before, but I'm getting awful close.

12. You are dead wrong.

He's been having townhall meetings where he takes questions. He just had one last night in Nevada. He has several scheduled for Sunday and Monday in Nevada.

It's not his fault if the media only shows the rallies and not the townhall meetings.

2. He does sometimes

I don't know about the past week or so, but according to the Des Moines Register, he took questions about 50% of the time in the run-up to Iowa.

4. But he's so great with people, he must be doing it.

HILLARY's the one who was excoriated for not taking the time to answer questions.

(And then pilloried for answering too many questions, as I recall.)

[Joe the Revelator]

13. Are you ever going to get tired of playing Hillary as the victim?

She makes as believable a victim as the evangelicals.

6. He did when he was in Reno in May

[Adelante]

7. It depends on the audience

It's hard when it's 5-10,000 people. But for smaller groups he does, yes.

[Reciprocity]

8. Well I’ve only seen him (CSPAN, CNN) in large groups so that that must be it. n/t

[Adelante]

10. He gave a town hall with questions yesterday in Nevada

With Gov. Napolitano of Arizona.
