Ellie Light sure gets around.
In recent weeks, Light has published virtually identical “Letters to the Editor” in support of President Barack Obama in more than a dozen newspapers.Every letter claimed a different residence for Light that happened to be in the newspaper’s circulation area.
Associated PressPresident Barack Obama has both detractors and fans. A curious number of his fans are named Ellie Light.“It’s time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, and that a president can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything,” said a letter from alleged Philadelphian Ellie Light, that was published in the Jan. 19 edition of The Philadelphia Daily News.
A letter from Light in the Jan. 20 edition of the San Francisco Examiner concluded with an identical sentence, but with an address for Light all the way across the country in Daly City, California.

Playing golf all day and eating $100 / lb. Kobe beef is a hard life, man!
Ellies light is not on.
Please don’t jump to any conclusions. It sure is a funny coincidence that there are so many with my name! President Obama is doing all he can and is working really hard to help Americans realize what their values are! He is wonderful!
Sincerely Ellie Light
Fix everything? Everything??? Hell, why don't we just start small, Barack, and just try to fix one thing?
I just did an Internet people search on “Ellie Light”, and there is only one in the country, and she lives in Medford NJ. No other seems to exist.
Sounds like it is a play on the name of the “mistress” in the movie “Deep Impact.” Rmember that the US president in that movie was played by Morgan Freeman. The “mistress’” name? ELE (pronounced Ellie). That the last name is Light suggests that what is confronting ObaMao is something less than a comet striking the earth.
“He said newspapers might be able to avoid similar situations in the future by requesting street addresses and home telephone numbers from would-be correspondents, and verifying that those addresses and phone numbers exist.”
But this would involve actual work.

It’s a different Ellie Light.
Just like a different William Ayres and a different Bertha Lewis are WH visitors.
Kudos to the reporter for doing her job and following her journalistic instincts.
It’s actually just Rahm...
You can tell that movie was pure fiction: it had an MSNBC reporter doing an investigation into a black POTUS.

The Meaning of Ellie - (F)
Meaning: Light » Origin: Greek
“You can tell that movie was pure fiction: it had an MSNBC reporter doing an investigation into a black POTUS.”
And what was also suggestive of pure fiction was that the MSNBC reporter in the movie was such a hottie (Tea Leoni), and we all know that in the real world MSNBC reporters more often than not resemble Nasty Pelousy’s evil twin.
And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.
That would be "light - light", as in Elle Light, a really big light, right?
I’ll wager this isn’t the first time it’s happened. Not sure why they’d use the same name and tip their hat.
I’ve also noticed there are lefty advocates on the major newspaper blogs attached to articles. One guy always pops up on the WSJ editorials about global warming with a long winded propaganda piece.
“It’s time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, and that a president can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything.”
Why not Ellie? This is exactly the impression he gave during his campaign. You got taken in by an impressionist.
Easy enough to find out. Everything I’ve had published in the papers (and I’ve had quite a few things published) was first verified by a call from the paper asking if I was the individual who wrote the piece, and if I would grant permission to publish it. Time to call some editors, and finish off what little credibility they had left...
