February 13, 2012

And now, for the moment you have all been waiting for: President Obama's first "win" of 2012.

It seems that the 2012 Obama campaign team has launched a project referred to as "truth teams." The goal is to have grassroots style boots on the ground, making sure that people are getting all the facts about the current Obama Administration and the plans they have for the next four years.

Two problems with that: first, being funded by the Obama campaign makes these "truth teams" by definition not grassroots. They are the very embodiment of AstroTurf organization. And second, anyone who has watch Obama speak before knows that he prefaces the most monstrous lies with the phrases "let me be clear" or "I'll be honest with you." Based on experience, we have to assume that these "truth teams" are likely to be circulating anything but.
