Barack Obama has read Democratic Underground.

[byronius]

I'm certain of it. I wonder what posts made him click?

I'd love to find out he has an anonymous username, someone we all know.

Someone who once posted something really cool.

I'd believe it.

[Whalestoe]

1. How do you know/figure?

[davidinalameda]

3. grovelbot!

:bounce:

[Whalestoe]

4. What??

[davidinalameda]

38. I think Obama posts under Grovelbot

his campaign raised more money than probably any campaign in history; Grovelbot aims to raise money on here

ergo Obama is Grovelbot

I know that my logic is lacking but who knows! LOL

[AzNick]

77. He actually uses Renegade44

:)

[davidinalameda]

80. maybe hypnotoad

is he still around?

[akbacchus_BC]

24. he he, here comes grovelbot asking for donations. Come on you

guys and gals, please donate to DU. Thank you

[byronius]

9. He's a techie with a high regard for fast information streams.

He's posted on Huffington Post, as himself. And even though Kos might draw more hits, DU is a far more interesting animal, for people looking to take the pulse of the Democratic Party.

Boxer's posted here, Edwards, Kucinich, John Conyers --

Postulating. I think it's highly probable.

[Whalestoe]

18. Oh, wow! I didn't know they've posted on here.

That's pretty damn cool.

[napoleon_in_rags]

23. He surely gets info from it.

What I'm sure of is that there are Obama aids scanning it, (and other sites) and reporting. During the primaries it was for sure, because DU WAS the target audience he needed to appeal to.

[Morning Dew]

74. Elizabeth Edwards posted here in '04 during the campaign.

nm

[Starry Messenger]

2. I heard he really digs LOLcats. n/t

[Pab Sungenis]

6. At the very least, we know he knows "all your base are belong to us."

It's weird having a President-elect who knows some of the more recent memes.

[liberalmuse]

5. Well, this is THE place for news...

humor and liberal opinion.

[charlyvi]

10. We also have our share of Tinfoil Hatters.

Bless 'em each and every one. They're the spice in the pot.

[FrenchieCat]

7. I'm convinced he reads my shit.....

if only for the comedic value! :)

[TahitiNut]

76. Is that like tea leaves?

:dunce:

[SarahB]

8. I seriously doubt that barack Obama has had time for DU anytime in the past 4 years.

If he has, then I've seriously misjudged the man.

[byronius]

11. It is a political weathervane sort of place, though.

It would fit.

[wellstone dem]

13. So you don't think I

who spends hours and hours on DU, and who now wonders why there aren't as many new posts,
CAN'T BE PRESIDENT?????? But who would be more qualified!!!!!

[opihimoimoi]

12. I see it in his speeches....he comes to glean .

[Not a robought]

14. It wouldn't surprise me if he posted/read here

I'm curious if James Carville and his wife republican Mary Matalin do. On a couple of posts pre-election, I posted that I wanted to see the republican party decimated in this election.

a few days later Mary Matalin is on CNN saying, 'the party is not going to be decimated.'

[Jackpine Radical]

25. Jeez, now That's an eerie coincidence!

[windbreeze]

26. and to those of us who do NOT believe in coincidence....

eerie or otherwise, it means one of them was here reading for sure...wb

[gblady]

15. if he doesn't

have the time...which I cannot see how he would...
as I am constantly astounded at what he does manage to accomplish...

I am very certain that he has staffers that check the
temperature in here at regular intervals.

[Omaha Steve]

16. John Edwards used to read the DU

I'd be willing to bet President Elect Obama does too.

[AspenRose]

63. So did one of Theresa Heinz Kerry's kids

Elizabeth Edwards has posted in here.

[blondeatlast]

17. Dammit! I thought the username was a perfect disguise. Now I have to change it

and get labelled a "troll" AGAIN!

Edit: I really do like The Waitresses, though...

[grantcart]

19. I just wish he would quit posting the "DU this PBS Poll" already

[blondeatlast]

20. Hey! I did declare a moratorium on the Brazilian joke. nt

[AwakeAtLast]

21. LOL!

:rofl:

[PBS Poll-435]

34. !

:rofl:

[Starry Messenger]

40. He's such a scamp!

:)

[Erin Elizabeth]

22. I think he reads my stuff.

Fer sher.

:rofl:

[valerief]

27. His acceptance speech was a post I made once. I'm, like, so sure of it.

:rofl:

[sofa king]

28. All right, I'll admit it.

I am not Barack Obama.

[jazzjunkysue]

29. I don't know...He watches the game for a break. But I think he lacks the time..

He may ask his interns to scan it once in a while, but, he has a life!

[byronius]

30. So it's you!

[jazzjunkysue]

47. Uhh-you-you found me. Uh-Don't tell Michelle I'm in here. She thinks I'm

working on personnell.

[ContinentalOp]

73. I'm pretty sure Obama knows how to spell personnel though.

:P

[book_worm]

31. he probably read DU so he will know how not to run his campaign.

[iris27]

32. Wouldn't shock me; after all, Elizabeth Edwards has

posted here before.

[DU GrovelBot]

[Hutzpa]

49. Hey! I just donated to your campaign Barack...

ENOUGH!!!


:rofl:

[H2O Man]

35. I believe that

campaign aides showed him some DU posts one afternoon during the summer.

[applegrove]

36. I doubt any person in power has the time to sit down and discuss issues

with strangers. There are just not enough hours in the day.

[npk]

37. I am sure he receives a daily briefing about what is going on in the Lounge

:-)

[SoxFan]

42. If he opposes an Olive Garden bailout, we'll know for sure

[mokawanis]

39. Hi President Obama!

Just thought I'd say hi, in case he reads this thread.

[SoxFan]

41. Walt Starr

[last1standing]

57. Tellurian.

:rofl:

[AspenRose]

64. Perry Logan!

;-)

[last1standing]

66. Did somebody call?

Believe it or not, this is from his website and its called "Upskirt2.jpg" because he's pasted this just below a picture of Sarah Palin blowing a kiss.

[AspenRose]

72. "Wait'll they get a load of me...."

That site needs an enema... :rofl:

[Lex]

43. He's secretly speaking to ME!

I just know it.

[AlCzervik]

45. me too, he even sent me a pm!

[fadedrose]

44. I hope he's noticed how many of us love Howard Dean nt

[whatdoyouthink]

46. I would say

He might - but if he (Obama) does not him-self? I bet someone close? to him does...plus DNC (nice trolls) & RNC (Sic trolls) have blogger's and such scanning these types of websites, all the time, I Would if I were running for office, but all bets of now he has a country to run - he will be kinda busy!

[Crunchy Frog]

48. I would hope not. He's got a hell of a lot more important things to deal with.

[greendog]

52. Not to worry.

He spends less than 6 hours here per day. A couple weeks ago he took A WHOLE DAY off. He's got his habit under control.

[Ozma]

50. OOOOPS I have been discovered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

J/K

[grantcart]

51. Barack Obama = The Magistrate

Think about it. You know its true, Sir.

[yodermon]

53. president elect *AND* a DU Moderator???

no fucking way.

[grantcart]

54. Its his community service

[skooooo]

55. I am Barack Obama.

Really!

[last1standing]

58. LIAR!

I am the real Barack Obama and I have the birth certificate from Kenya to prove it!

[blondeatlast]

62. Ahem, Post SEVENTEEN; 6:17 AZ time.

[last1standing]

60. Keep your hoops!

[Occam Bandage]

69. I'm Spartacus!

[Beausoir]

65. Yes! He reads NanceRants!

Who doesn't??


And he happens to be particularly fond of H2OMan's lynching Strange Fruit threads.

:sarcasm:

[Hutzpa]

68. delete - wront post to resond n/t

[bridgit]

67. I don't think there's any harm in admitting it now; but I'm pretty much the main reason...

Barack Obama is prez elect at this point in American history. Yep! Me. He comes in here and clicks my links, always has, and has known for some time the level poetic license & resolve I'm able to bring to all of America. Plus he likes my 'bridgit of arc-esque' persona (cept the burning at the stake part which blows chunks :() in that so few people really understand yada-yada blah-blah. Do know he also finds people that hate me to be odd, strange, anti-American thinkers & usurpers of Freedom & Liberty!! --- so if you wanna be invited to the WH, or get holiday cards and gift baskets and stuff, all you haters need to start liking me. Me! Me! Me!

So Get Busy!!

[Fire Walk With Me]

70. He recommended me for a DUzy.

Whatta guy :thumbsup:

[awoke_in_2003]

78. Saying you are a DUzy...

is not the same thing as recommending you for one :)

[Fire Walk With Me]

79. Always remember:

Democrats laugh with
Republicans laugh at

[rocktivity]

71. He probably has an aide who keeps an eye on the blogs and reports back to him

If he doesn't, he should.

:headbang:
rocknation

[Hutzpa]

75. Nice to see you, To see you nice

:hi:



Secret fighters fighting the silent battle, thats what we are.
