Who is Ellie Light, mysterious letter writing Obama supporter; or political hack on the Administration’s payroll who claims to be just a common everyday citizen sticking up for her President? A person using the name Ellie Light has written a letter to several different media publications using different addresses, but the same name. That may not seem so unusual, what is unusual is that the letter was published in all of the publications. Coincidence?
In each letter, Ellie Light defends Barack Obama’s position on just about everything and also uses the tired old “we inherited this mess” argument. For instance, in her letter to the Philadelphia Daily News, it begins by telling us that if we had expected Afghanistan, unemployment and healthcare to be going just peachy we’d know we were being lied to.
Meaning, that Obama is doing just fine with the mess he was left with. Actually Ellie that’s not what Mr. Obama told us, he said our situation would be better were he elected, not worse.
Ellie Light, the mysterious letter writing Obama supporter went on to say in various other publications, that Obama clearly said that what it took 8 years to break couldn’t be fixed in one year, speaking of the economy. Well Ellie you’re wrong (or should I say Obama’s wrong) about it taking 8 years to break the economy. The economy essentially started it’s downturn in late 2007, well after democrats had taken control of both houses of congress. It’s really simple and narrow minded to blame your predecessor for everything that’s wrong. You could probably count on one hand the times the Bush Administration blamed Clinton for problems he chose to face. I mean seriously, Bush could have used the whole Clinton didn’t take Bin Laden when he had the chance argument, but he didn’t.
The “concerned citizen” named Ellie Light goes on to claim that we the American people were victims of extortion; extortion by banks who threw our economy into freefall. I’ll agree with the extortion part, only I’ll disagree with the guilty party. We are victims of extortion, only the extortion that takes place on a daily basis is by those elected to protect and defend the constitution and conduct the people’s business on our behalf. Nice try Ellie Light.
She closes by bemoaning the fact that Obama is being attacked for promising that our problems would be solved instantly. Actually the majority of attacks aimed at Obama are for the mess he’s making, not the mess he failed to clean up. Ellie Light, mysterious letter writing Obama supporter seems to forget that Bush was attacked for not waving his proverbial magic wand and fixing problems. What’s good for the goose, you know what I mean? I think Ellie Light is Michelle Obama, David Axelrod or maybe even Obama himself. Maybe he penned the letter on his way back from Massachusetts.

Oh there is SO much more! They are coming out of the woodwork... multiple names, duplicate letters.
This is exploding...
This isn’t about Obama or Ellie Light or astroturfing. It’s about the newspapers being willing participants in the scam.
Who is Ellie Light?

The length of the “Ellie Light” tirade strongly says to me that this is no ordinary citizen. Regular folks rarely go on like that in a letter to the editor. Definitely sounds like an inside job.
Besides, who else is so arrogant to try a stunt like this using the same name dozens of times?
The Obama administration playing ‘’’post office’. Can these people be anymore childish? Writting your own fan mail is about as lame as it gets.
I’m sure the New York Times has assigned a crack reporter to cover this story. /s
BTTT
Ellie Light = Anita Dunn? That is who I think it is.
Ellie Light, Jan Chen, Mark Spivey, who knows anymore.
Dems also write fake letters to our people - pretending to be us. Might be why the left hates us so much. Might be why CNN goes to a tea party looking for nuts - and can’t find any...
Why? Does she mention Mao and Mother Theresa?
Part and parcel of how Dems operate. They can’t sustain a base for too long nor can they sustain a message either so they have to resort to things like this. And to having dead voters being carried on the voter rolls.
Update from anon e-mailer:
Thanks. It wouldn’t surprise me if OFA is the source of some of the letters, but I suspect the letter-writers claiming multiple hometowns aren’t necessarily just an OFA phenomenon. There are two types of these letters: obvious boilerplate with different names, and obvious boilerplate with the same names but different locations. Both types are quite suspicious, but especially the latter type—I’m not sure if OFA would be the ultimate source.
In case you haven’t seen the latest multi-location writer:

next e-mail
My main concern is that everyone assumes that OFA is the only party involved (if indeed they are involved at all). Since there’s no evidence (as far as I’ve seen) that OFA has asked people to post while claiming different hometowns, the “multi-location” side of the operation may very well have a different source. There have been a few potentially credible theories postulated on the blogs today about those.

Has anyone sent this to Drudge yet??
How hard could it be trace the emails? I think that is rather easy, no?
It would seem to be.
If the Email was not anonymized, the respective papers would have a record.
Isn’t “Ellie” right out of the Saul Alinsky/Bill Ayers playbook?
It’s been on his fron page since yesterday....Just hope he’s tuned into FR to get all the information Ellie is just the tip of the iceberg.
Marketing meme out of Noam Chompsky rule book. You want more information I’ll frmail it to you or you can do your own research.
