More fodder for TOTUS

From The Washington Times website, contributor Joseph Curl writes "In France, Obama takes no questions from French" (my emphasis below):
President Obama held a much ballyhooed town hall in Strasbourg, France, on Friday, touted by the White House as an outreach to Europeans on the second leg of the president's "listening" tour.

But the first person he called on was an American -- and the third, too. By the end of the hourlong session, not a single French citizen got to ask the U.S. president a question.

In all, Obama took just five questions from the thousands of people packed into a sports arena after delivering a lengthy speech read from a teleprompter. And the query topics were on the light side; one asked about the expected acquisition of a family dog, another about whether "you regret to have run for presidency."

The president had opened his remarks by saying he had come to "take some questions."
Have at it, TOTUS.
