White House Adds New Position to Deal with Unfavorable Online Media
Media Bistro ^ | 5/24/11

Posted on 05/24/2011 6:31:30 AM PDT by markomalley

The White House has named Jesse Lee to a new position within its communications department titled Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. According to The Huffington Post, Lee will essentially be responsible for building up Obama’s online presence as he prepares for his reelection bid, and squashing any negative stories:

The post is a new one for this White House. Rapid response has usually been outsourced to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), if not done on an ad-hoc basis by administration officials. And it signals that the White House will be adopting a more aggressive defense of the president and his policies as his re-election campaign gears up.

If you’re going to post something online about Obama that isn’t true, Lee is going to be the one to handle you. Considering that Lee’s first tweet about his new position included a picture of The Terminator, we suggest you watch what you say OR BE DESTROYED.

Okay that was a little dramatic, but you get the idea.

My tagline says what must be done.

Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.

Those who want to reap the benefits of this great nation must bear the fatigue of supporting it.

” Are we ready to stand on what we believe and know is the truth?

To borrow a phrase from them, Are we ready to speak that truth to their power?

Are we calling on God to grant us the Wisdom to see this through?

And contrary to what many conservatives want to even think about, are you ready to be a potential political prisoner?

Do Christians ever spend time in jail? Acts 16. Are you that ready? “

Many of us are ready. The big question to be answered is will there be enough?

Excellent points.

Every sane person in America should be considering these points.

So does this mean I can’t say Obama is a girlie homeboy Kenyan who probably is ineligible to be POTUS?

Does this mean individual FReepers will be getting personal visits from this thug’s “friends” for saying things that they disagree with?

Regarding salty talk aimed at the president (or other officials) vs visits from the SS

While I do understand the uncomfortable position this puts Jim in, as the noose tightens on our speech and what was common comment in 2009...may be salty talk in 2012...

You might consider dropping the “ homeboy”

Are you as tired as I am of not being able to say what you think without being attacked or threatened in some way?

Obama is a Marxist tool and all around America-hating, capitalism-hating, freedom-hating idiot. He must be utterly destroyed in 2012. You betcha!!

"Yes, M'am, I'm from the Office of the Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. I understand you've been a regular visitor to FreeRepublic.com, and have posted some opinions which cast a negative light on our President?"

Isn't this illegal? Using Federal Employees and facilities for Election purposes.

Well, technically, since all the Executive branch is doing here is to advance external communication and provide community outreach - it's just fine - they are simply trying to "get their message out", see?

LOL. I assume you are aware that the entire Obama campaign organization was moved, post-election, into the White House. "Organizing for Obama" became "Organizing for America" along with all of their distinctive branding, logos, slogans and operational functions. Fundraising is now largely a matter of laundering union, non-profit, and foundation money through 501(c)(3)'s to the never-ending Obama campaign that often only pretends to be an Administration.

Just get a Kentucky Long Rifle and learn how to pick flies off a wall at 100 yards. Does something for one’s confidence.

And if you want a lot of flies just smear the latest Obama budget foray with a little horse pucky and set it on the wall.

Then you offer him a cup of coffee or something heavily laced with a intensely strong tasteless laxative. And if possible one that also causes intense vomiting. Then you go out for a few hours so he can’t come back and complain.

Many of us are ready. The big question to be answered is will there be enough?

No doubt in my mind, no matter how "We the People" may seem disengaged, don't care, etc. We always came through when we got pushed to the limit. Nowadays, we're being SHOVED to the limit and that will accelerate the people's concern and reaction.

Here is some of the shoving that we feel because of 0b0z0. Europeans used to laugh at Americans for whatever reason. They were very happy with the candidate Messiah and hoped for his election to POTUS. They said, at last America used its head and elected a super "intelligent" and a well educated POTUS. LOL!

Alrighty, now they are laughing at the 0b0z0s so hard when they mingle with them, but are crying as hard because of 0b0z0's lack of leadership, attacking our allies and scaring the hell out of them. They realize that 0b0z0's headless America isn't there to protect them militarily and financially. The word of America's current pResident is worthless, that of course, IF he gives it without the usual 6 months vacillation!

Look at what happened in London yesterday or the day before. Look at 0b0z0's slacks and his left leg balloon below the knee then suddenly tapered! What's that? A rental gone bad?

http://mediagallery.usatoday.com/-Obama%27s-six-day,-four-country-European-tour/G2287,A9212

This is what the 0b0z0s should have donned:

http://i.cocoperez.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/michelle-obama-wears-stephen-burrows-while-touring-a-mosque-in-jakarta__oPt.jpg

TO REPRESENT PAKISTAN!

The world's laughter is now like drum, beat bouncing off the planets in the Milky Way after the Queen of England gave him that look. He pouted and put his glass down and stood like the 12-year old that just soiled himself in public!

/Rant off

Obama carries on a relentless campaign to destroy relationships with our allies, and bolster our enemies. We had BETTER stand up and be counted.
