Are the Unions Bussing People in From Out of Town to Create an Illusion of Local Support for Obamacare?

Watch the video and take note of these statements:

“Today hundreds of people came from across the state TO Orlando to rally about health care reform”

How did they come there? Did they drive their own cars? They didn’t need to, because a bus was provided for them. Who provided the buses? You will find this out at the end of the video.

”Kenneth Motin talked to residents who want to see something done now”

Are these Orlando residents? Well, not exactly all of them. Some were bussed in from somewhere else…like Miami-Dade, which is 4 hours away or West Palm or Broward (about the same) Tallahasee (4 hours) ...or Jacksonville (3 hours)... or Tampa-St Pete (2 hours). I noticed that the first person interviewed that was labeled as an Orlando resident had a New York City accent. I was curious who this Mr Barry Tillis was, so I did a quick search and found this. If this is the same Barry Tillis, then he is the vice president of the local IATSE Union and you will see his name in the top left column of the page. It is a theatrical union, which I guess is appropriate. There is a Barry Tillis listed as a contributor to the Obama campaign also found here, who is involved with the IATSE Union. Maybe this is just a coincidence. Why didn't "Kenneth" ask the supporters where they were from on camera, or ask them if they were affiliated with the unions? What happened to Who, What, When, Why, Where? Last time I checked, the unions had a great health plan, so I am not sure where their concern is coming from.

“Hundreds came by the busload to pack the Orlando Down Town city complex on Livingston street, and they traveled from different parts of the state to rally for president Obama’s plan to change the health care system ”

Did you notice all of the nicely printed professional signs stating “Health Care Reform Now”? I didn't see one hand drawn sign in the crowd. Here is the part you have all been waiting for:

“Some community groups and UNIONS operating under the name Health Care America organized that rally.”

Let me translate the term “organized” for the readers. The union possibly took members who are out of work, and put them on a bus paid for by the union and sent them to Orlando to create a “theatre” illusion for the media of local citizens showing up of their own volition to support Mr Obama's health care plan. I assume they also bought them lunch and may have even given them expense money for the day. This of course, is only my speculation.

Can a leopard change it's spots? Thus far, this has been the support that Mr Obama has presented to the media, and they are lapping it up. Did you catch this statement early in the video?

"But unlike recent protests, people came to support the effort to push through reforms"

"This gathering had a different feel. There was no angry shouting, or yelling at legislators"

Translated that means that the actors played their parts well.

It is time for Gun Shy to be very clear about my position. This is where I will get my yearly quotient of using the word suck in print. First of all, I do not care about the Democratic OR the Republican party, because they both suck. Second of all, I am not a fan of insurance companies and the practices of the medical business, because they suck as well. What Obama is trying to do SUCKS OUT LOUD, and is bad for America. The only reason why the unions are behind it, is due to the fact that the unions are pro Democrat because the Democrats spend a lot and there is work created for the unions through various government building projects. In other words, it is not passion because their members already have great health insurance, it is personal agenda. For the record, Gun Shy is not against the unions, and will admit that the unions have done a lot to advance a living wage for work performed, but what we have here is an agenda where truth becomes the victim, and as long as the unions keep promoting this charade, they are guilty by association. It should be noted that this writer laughed as Mr Grayson acted on camera like this was just a random get together of local residents that happened to wander into the building to show their support without his prior knowledge. There should be acting awards given out for all involved with that video including the "reporters". Of course, many of the local readers know that WFTV has had its own share of controversy in the past.
