But a more serious case of apparent misconduct involves Facebook data going to a different presidential campaign—this time in 2012. In this case, which is getting far less attention, Facebook reportedly voluntarily provided data on millions of its users to the re-election campaign of President Barack Obama.

The number one contributor to obozo’s election: The show 24.

People were 100% sure they were getting David Palmer.

I am NOT joking! I watched 24 on CD for the first time years after it aired and when I saw the character I said
“that is EXACTLY how liberals and man others saw obozo before he actually started ruining the country.”

The libs and their co-conspirators in hollywood were hoping to do it again with “Madame Secretary” but thank God that failed.

What do you mean? I heard about this years ago. Google was also involved in getting that incompetent loser elected.

Facebook has won.
They managed to confuse Congress (like that is difficult) long enough for the media coverage to die down.
They will soon be back doing the same thing but much more quiet.

The protagonist is Hillary Clinton with multiple applications of an airbrush set to “sandblast”, along with a personality transplant and an ethics implant. In other respects, the resemblance is uncanny.

Oh Bummer! never won an election on the issues. He only ever won by slinging mud with the goal of suppressing the turnout for his opponent.

Facebook needs to declare their 'help' as an 'in-kind political contribution'.

Republicans gave away the election twice because their candidate was a coward who refused to fight because they would be branded Racist.
