Obama Campaign Seeks to Fight Misinformation
The Obama campaign launched a new website to handle misinformation against President Obama.

Said Obama campaign manager Jim Messina: "Forming the first line of defense against a barrage of misinformation won't be easy. Our success will depend on a team of researchers and writers to stay on the lookout for false claims about the President and his record, bring you the facts, and hold our opposition accountable."

1. Great we need it for this site 24/7.

2. I will say this

They are better about fighting back against attacks in the context of an election campaign than when they are actually governing the country.

10. The folks at 'Obama for America' do NOT govern the country.

So your comment is ridiculous.

12. Spot on n/t

3. That would be www.RepubliconLies.com

4. Lets just hope this squad won't be used on the left

Its great if it will be used against the republicans only, but I can see some over zealous Obama supporters trying to use this attack squad on criticism raised by the left.

7. I guess that depends if the "criticism raised by the left" is misinformation...nt

9. If attacks from the left are based on misinformation wouldn't you like that corrected?

Seems reasonable, don't you think?

11. Of course

the "left's" version of misinformation is simply criticism and A-OK!

Considering the "squad" was created to deal with misinformation specifically, your concerns seem incredibly ironic.

5. No one can defend this crap

A freakin paperclip? A flimsy, chintzy metal paperclip to hold his jobs program together, WTF?

Notice too that it's a black paperclip.

I guess Doocy has never seen a black paper binder before! LOL

The last law firm where I worked we used a few of thousand of them per year.

13. Who needs misinformation?

The truth is bad enough!

I'm sorry, I know you are sincere in your feelings for this president, and thank God someone is. But he drives me up a wall. You don't want me to mess up your nice op by explaining why (really, you don't), so I won't unless you want me to.

But I'm glad he's doing rapid response. Clinton did it with pretty good success.

15. +1000 Right on!

16. Thanks for posting the link

I put it in my favorites. If Obama supporters are vocal and quick most of the lies the GOP cooks up can be debunked before they spread further.
