Back when the Obama administration was young, the White House set up what amounted to a snitch line, an email address where people were invited to report on other people bad-mouthing the president of the United States on health care.
The snitch line was soon taken down. However, it has now been resurrected in the form of a website called Attack Watch. People are invited to use the website to report on other people who are running down President Obama. In this way the Obama campaign for reelection would gather information to "fight smears."
According to the Washington Post, the reaction has not been as the Obama people have expected.
It seems Attack Watch has become the figure of fun for people on the Internet, particularly conservative bloggers who are flooding the website to turn themselves in. The site has backfired in a spectacular fashion, causing Obama to seem like a paranoid, Nixon-like figure on steroids.
The problem is one of the unstated job descriptions for president is to catch flack from people who don't like the executive. This can be galling, especially when the attacks get personal or are perceived to be unfair. Various presidents have reacted differently to the chatter of their enemies.
Nixon, for example, compiled an enemies list and plotted against unfriendly reporters. Clinton would constantly complain about the then-nascent talk radio sector, especially Rush Limbaugh, and had a war room-style operation during the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
By contrast, Reagan and both Bushes dealt with attacks either with good humor in the former case or by ignoring them in the latter. One criticism of President George W. Bush is that he ignored attacks a little too much, allowing some of the accusations to take hold without a response.

I’d like to report the Presidential Seal. It’s made two escape attempts already.

How do you register for this Twitter thing and how does it work.
I gotta get in on this action quick before they pull the site down .

AttackWatch website: red, black, and white
Nazi flag: red, black, and white
Coincidence?

Yeah, but it sure sounded like a great idea over late night pizza.
But then, the people who created AttackWatch.com are the exact same people who make static assumptions on the Revenue Income Forecasting of Tax increases, are they not?
There is an ironic symmetry there if you think about it the right way.
AttackWatch website: red, black, and white

Actually, red and black are the colors of International Socialism/Anarchy’s revolutionary banner.
The color scheme for “Attack watch” is based on Che Guevera and the Cuban revolution.
Maybe the arrogant elitist in the White House are learning the hard way that their perception that fly over country is filled with illiterate, easily led, bigoted christian rubes and yokels may not be such a great assumption.
I guess they have an good excuse though.
I mean, really, who could have thought all of those Profs at Harvard Law and Columbia School Of Broadcasting could be so wrong.
BINGO!
A lot more of AttackWatch.com than just the color scheme is based on the Cuban Revolution and the philosophy and actions of Che Guevara.
Before you can have the firing squads, you have to know where to find the victims
I heard someone call the POTUS a poopy-head.
This someone was named Joe Biden.
Sorry, I don't know where he works.

Faithful Obamabot
