An interesting phenomenon has been occuring in various newspaper "Letters to the Editor" pages. A woman with the same name has had letters published in no fewer than 9 newspapers praising Obama while using various city and location residences.
Now it's one thing if the person(s) name was something like John Brown, Steve Smith, Amy Jones or any other number of common name combination. However the name being used is Ellie Light.
This may seem like much about nothing except for one small thing. The only Ellie Light that FReepers were able to locate by Lexis-Nexis or internet searches were a reporter that used to write for the Bergen Record.

This reporter, the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Washington bureau head, Sabrina Eaton has published several email exchanges with "Ellie Light" on her personal blog on cleveland.com. These exchanges are on the source URL for this post.
This is a very troubling development. Until it is known who "Ellie Light" the following questions are obvious.
- Who is behind the pseudonym "Ellie Light"?
- Is someone from the White House, Democratic party or a close ally employing someone conducting this kind of work?
- Why are newspapers failing to contact letter(s) to the editor to verify name, address/location and phone number and instead relying on email exchanges?
- Can you imagine these questions not being asked if they were the same name, publishing the same letter to the editor in various newspapers around the United States praising a Republican President?
I give major kudos to Sabrina Eaton for doing some true reporting and investigative work. I would be opposed to any White House or political party conducting such a campaign. This is a dangerous trend that's been revealed; newspapers are verifying even less and less information that they publish.
I urge Ms. Eaton and FReepers to stay abreast of this story and not let it die.
She made it into USA Today.
If Ellie Light is Samantha Power, this oughtta get real serious real fast. According to Wikipedia, Samantha Power has not only worked for Obama -- but is still working for him. On the National Security Council...
Power has been a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and was a senior adviser to U.S. Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama until March 2008 when she resigned from the campaign under controversy. After rejoining the Obama State Department transition team in late November 2008, she has been named to a position on the National Security Council.
Moreover, as the wife of Cass Sunstein -- the Information & Regulatory czar -- she is merely practicing what he preaches.
Sunstein is the father of Libertarian Paternalism. Which would employ cognitive infiltration to manipulate groups.
That's right, Sunstein has proposed that a government agency employ and train agents to infiltrate groups which might be anti-government, but aren't contemplating doing anything illegal, to manipulate their thought and convert them to the government's requirements.
To stir the pot, Sunstein has also been rumored to be Obama's next Supreme Court appointment. Be advised this Harvard egghead has also written in favor of "rights for animals" and government's eliminating its recognition of marriage.
This could turn into as big a story as the Massachusetts Senate race...
Oooh, good find.
Her Wikipedia is certainly interesting. She just had a baby, she was fired from the Obama campaign for calling Hillary a monster, and somehow she was involved with George Clooney?
I guess when you’re sitting home nursing your red-diaper baby, there’s time to send your favorite inspired sentences of Obama-worship around to every still-publishing newspaper in the country.
Oh, she’s on the payroll. Somehow, she is still on his payroll. I hope this KILLS all newspapers at this point. Tell your grannies it AINT news. They are the only ones still buying these rags. The Enquirer has more truth in it than these fishwraps.
This is big... really big...
BTTT
Samantha, aka Ellie, has some daddy issues:
As another Freeper stated that “Ellie Light” could be “Elite” as in the MEDIA!!
Glenn Greenwald
“In 2008, while at Harvard Law School, Sunstein co-wrote a truly pernicious paper proposing that the U.S. Government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-”independent” advocates to “cognitively infiltrate” online groups and websites — as well as other activist groups — which advocate views that Sunstein deems “false conspiracy theories” about the Government. This would be designed to increase citizens’ faith in government officials and undermine the credibility of conspiracists. The paper’s abstract can be read, and the full paper downloaded.”

Obama IS the Messiah.....he brought the Republican Party back from the DEAD...Hugh Hewitt.
And he's an advocate of "abortion" up to age two.
This is EXACTLY like Orwell’s 1984. Winston Smith’s job is to go back and change what Big Brother predicted so that it matches what actually happened. I thought I remembered “Candidate” Obama promising that he could solve our healthcare, economic, and security problems. Funny, I guess I remembered wrong. Revisionist history anyone?
son of Drawsing
BINGO!! Ellie means Light...ans Sun is Light!! BRILLIANT!!
We need to REALLY nail this to Samantha Power, wife of Cass Sunstein and get some coverage from Talk Radio on this.
I did. This is bizarre because it’s so shallow and transparent. I’d figure this would be something on the level of a Charles Johnson sycophant working out of mommy’s basement, not a high-level administration person or their offspring.
Sad, really.
Saw this this morning somewhere. Hadn’t seen any of “her work” before the article.
LOL!
I love Hugh.
Obama is now jewish too. Who knew!
