Help me understand....what is the benefit of prescreening * audiences???

[NRaleighLiberal]

The only thing I can figure out is that it is all about him, and it would be "Hard werk" for him to work through the inevital boos. But, really, what is the benefit of that on a realistic basis? Are they worried that someone will try to take him out? Are they that delusional that they just do hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil (the monkey thing, but that is appropriate for the chimp, I suppose) and it will all be good?

And the zillion dollar question - WHY doesn't the press pick up on this and make a huge embarassing deal?


Bizarro world, that's for sure

1. for the same reason he won't meet with Cindy

He cannot stand any form of dissent, anyone in his presence that doesn't think he's equivalent to the Second Coming.

2. They keep him insulated from dissenters

and it also gives the impression he is more popular than he actually is when his audiences support him.

5. Yes, I agree - but that is no purpose - that is just attempting to...

placate or entertain a child......ahh, I get it. Actually, it was a serious question, and I suppose the real mystery is why it is allowed, and why there is no total outrage.

3. please

if he saw real people, like us, he couldn't handle the heat and would cry.

4. Because anyone sane would say "THAT'S BULLSHIT YOU

MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE, YOU ELECTION-STEALING, MURDERING GODDAMNED THIEF!" And then get verbally abusive...

6. It is his temper they are worried about. Or so I think.

I once read a reporters report on how nasty this little man is. Would not want the church Right to know how he really gets mad.. It is like how he talks. He sounds like he went to a good college and comes from the East Coast unless he is talking to his base. But like Barbara you never cross him so what would he do if some one yelled in one of these talks he is giving.

7. It is all for the cameras -- the Karl Rove/Karen Hughes Production of

"Our Very Popular Regular Guy President"

8. They can keep bush nice & delusional which is how they like their

puppets. Controlled reality around him..opposition or people with 'questions' out.

Afterall he never reads a newspaper so the 'staff' is in complete control of everything he thinks and how he perceives things.

Plus by having control over 'how bush is perceived' by his supporters..not record on film of opposition of any kind... they can keep fantasizing he is all 'white light' and 'enevolently christian' - so 'he would never do anything to hurt anybody'.

Works on multiple levels. Workers must be exhaused after 5 years of this. Controlling every situation is hard word....ASSHOLES

9. Because if he faces too much dissent, that man will

blow a gasket on live TV. Can't have that, now.
