Obama WH uses campaign strategy to push 2nd term agenda

Nov. 12, 2012 1:09pm

White House Dossier highlights a new email campaign from the Obama White House seeking to organize Americans on the president’s behalf:

The White House is pulling a tactic out of its campaign playbook – and President Obama’s own community organizing past – using the organs of government to enlist average Americans to help Obama advocate for his priorities.

In an email sent to people who signed up to receive official updates from the White House, recipients are told to forward the message to their friends, asking them to help promote what is in effect White House propaganda. The White House email list, which government officials began compiling earlier in Obama’s term, is separate from the famed Obama campaign email list, but recipients are nonetheless being asked to engage in partisan political activity.

The email, sent out Friday, presents a video of Obama in the East Room earlier the same day making his case as negotiations with Republicans are set to begin on the budget stalemate that could lead to massive spending cuts known as “the fiscal cliff.”

WATCH:

In addition to the video, the White House email encouraged Americans to spread the president’s message to friends and neighbors, hoping to expand support for President Obama’s agenda outside of the Beltway and increasing pressure on members of Congress from constituents in their home districts.

    You have to admit, Obama talks a good talk, but he walks with a serious limp in generating positive results from that talk… So far, his talk has been mostly all hype and hot air……

    I just started a petition on the White House Petitions site, We the
    People. Will you sign it? Go to: http://wh.gov/9HmM . Its an initiative that suspends a voters vote count if the voter is receiving any government assistance for the term of that assistance. There are clear exceptions ( elderly, military, veterans of foreign wars, and disabled). This could be a game changer in the unholy alliance between public assistance electorate and politicians selling us out for votes and power. I need 25k votes within a month to get the Obama admin to comment on it. Take a look and sign the petition.

    I just came across an article on the Pravda website. It appears the RUSSIANS understand what is going on in this country better that the MAJORITY of Americans do. http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/07-11-2012/122728-obama_president-0/

      Keep up the same thing you have been doing for 4 years. That will assure a Dem victory in 2016. Thanks nuts.
