Obama Adds Online "TZAR" to His White House Team

[Mr. Shaman]

Essentially what he is doing is using government money to fund his reelection campaign. All politicians do it, but this is the most egregious example I have ever seen.

Obama simply doesn't give a crap about the laws or the Constitution. Whatever he can get away with is his only guide post.

Obama has hired Jesse Lee to combat people who tell the truth about Obama:

In anticipation of a brutal 2012 re-election bid, Barack Obama has added a new position to the White House staff. Jesse Lee is now charged with crushing negative coverage of Obama online. His title is 'Director of Progressive Media and Online Response.'

With virtually no opposition or challenge to the President offered by the mainstream media, the Obama machine has set its sights on the Internet, where there are significant demands of accountability from this Administration. If Obama can successfully smash such responsible journalism, then he will have the entirety of the news coverage in his hip pocket.

According to a story at FishbowlNY, a division of Media Bistro,

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.

The Twitter post to which the article refers uses a picture of the Terminator to describe Lee's approach. That tweet can be viewed here.

However, the problem with this new position and approach online is not that the machine wishes to counter untruths about Obama. To the contrary, their problem is with those who tell the truth and those who challenge the President on a plethora of issues that the mainstream media has allowed to pass without so much as a flinch.

Just sayin.....

Jesse Lee's title should scare the hell out of everyone but sadly there is little response in the media. They call his job "director of progressive media and online response". Once more, taxpayers have to foot the bill for some media nazi to feed George Soros with response to criticism and God know what else. It should be noted that Lee is married to the left wing media strategist who created the "betray-us" campaign against the commander of US Troops.

hello;

The Obama administration has created and staffed a new position tucked inside their communications shop for helping coordinate rapid response to unfavorable stories and fostering and improving relations with the progressive online community.

So he will be doing a job he has been doing already, but now it will be full time?
The outrage!

White House's liaison with the progressive media and online community

How much you wanna bet that Presidents have done this same thing in the past?

And who really cares? This is such a non issue. LOL

Wow, I didn't even have to search that hard to find something.

Starting most days at 6 a.m. and often lasting well into the night, Goeglein, a special assistant to President Bush, operates as a virtual middleman between the White House and conservatives of all stripes seeking to shape its policies. " make sure they have a reliable access point, which is me," Goeglein said.

"I love people. I love policy, and I love politics," declares presidential assistant Tim Goeglein, whose job is to keep the right happy. (Rich Lipski -- The Washington Post)

Officially, Goeglein, a 40-year-old who looks as if he would be carded trying to buy a beer, is deputy director of the Office of Public Liaison, one of four White House political departments run by uberstrategist Karl Rove. Yet Goeglein's role is much more central to how this president operates -- and wins elections -- than the job title suggests, according to several Republicans outside and inside the White House.

Same shit, different title. Now we have the on line community and Obama is smart enough to realize that. Like I said this is such a non issue, it is ridiculous.

do you think we should be paying for this?

 

[whitehall]

Why not call it what it is, the "Ministry of Propaganda"? How much is this crap going to cost Americans? At a time when even democrats agree to cost-cutting measures in the administration the socialist president creates a ministry of propaganda and nobody seems to care.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

After reading the idiotic, inaccurate, and hysterical article in the OP, I researched the subject on my own. There is no evidence of any Constitutional issue, no rights infringed upon, no preemption of free expression, no prior restraint of the press.

The function is simply an on line press secretary. Nothing new.

Correct. All presidents, both democratic and republican, have had such posts.

Article II Section 2 of the US Constitution authorizes the president to appoint administration staff.

This is yet another ridiculous rightist non-issue.

 

[Avorysuds]

The worst thing Obama has to worry about in this election is how much time until the end of the election... Oh and his policies...

As time goes on less and less people will like Obama, it's just the way it is.

I disagree, if they wish to engage in strictly partisan hackery, I have no wish to pay for it. Now, just saying the job is partisan as parcel and parcel of the 'job' it doesn't appear that way. He was brought on full time for a reason, its re-election time, and as I said no on my dime for, either of them.

Who was the person on the Bush White House payroll who trawled through the internets playing TERMINATOR?

And what Trajan said: this is a political/campaign function. Let Obama spend some of his $1B Once & Future Stash on this operative.
