If you are on Facebook, post in your status “Who is Ellie Light?”

This is driving up interest in this story as witnessed at Google Trends.

Yes, obviously a phony letter generated by the WH to gin up support for this epic failure of a president!

It says the letters sent all over the country were signed "Elle Light" Guess what you get when you run that through an anagram generator?

"Legit, hell!"

Nice little joke on the voters, eh?

"Presidential astroturf!"

I am not so sure, I think its proof that all Libs think alike!

If these letters are being received via e-mail, the SMTP header will tell you the IP address of the server that sent it. That should be a start in tracking back to the sender.

Wonder if anyone at these newspapers is smart enough to figure that out?

I am trying to find a link between the papers that ran the letters and their parent corp and it looks like the Los Banos enterprise is a McClatchy property. The San Jose Mercury News is owned by Media News group which owns 43 other dailies and weeklies...

Calling it “astroturf” makes it look like something other than total deception of the newspaper industry. Dems make up cute phrases for their graft, cheating and lies. We need to use OUR words. NOT theirs.

” Presidential astroturf! “

Newspapers must get hundreds of letters to the editors.
What are the odds that this letter would appear in so many different publications without a goose from the White House ?
Somebody is going to have cross check all the letters to the editors from the past two years .
Because Ellie Light or Michelle Dark must have been using this tactic for a long time to promote Barry to the masses.
