They told me if I voted for McCain, we would have government-paid hacks crushing political dissent on the internet…and they were right!
The White House has named Jesse Lee to a new position within its communications department titled Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. …
The post is a new one for this White House. Rapid response has usually been outsourced to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), if not done on an ad-hoc basis by administration officials. And it signals that the White House will be adopting a more aggressive defense of the president and his policies as his re-election campaign gears up.
If current communications are any indication of what’s to come, this is going to be a hoot.

And your tax dollars are paying for it. Too sweet. What’s Jesse Lee’s yearly wage, by the way? Or is this pro-bono?
Given the administration’s notoriously short fuse and gaffe-tastic clumsiness without the TOTUS this is going to be as much fun as getting Pavlov’s dog to bark!
I see, the czar of trolls: Jesse Lee, Troll Czar.
Awesome!
Yes, a Director of Progessive Media and Online Response. Why not skip the rhetoric and call it what it is: propaganda management.

It appears that the FCC’s plans will shut down freedom of speech if it can get by with it….So far, they haven’t closed Fox, but their intentions are clear; if they could, they would, aided by Mr. Soros’s investments in the news cycle. We seem to be seeing the 21st century’s equivalent to FDR’s tactics, in which he marshalled the FBI and the IRS to shut down critics. This president has a whole arsenal of agencies to do his bidding.
For the millions who forget…we have the constitution as a mighty weapon, rusting away, because the people refuse to stand up, maintain it and use it.
Well, he DID promise to create jobs …
I have no problems with such an idiots services to Obama SO LONG AS ITS NOT BEING PAYED FOR BY TAXPAYERS MONEY!
Such a position in the White House serves NO constitutional services to the nation and the office of the president serving the nations business. It is a political party position serving only the interests of the democrat party….more precisely the candidate Obama!
His annual salary is $72,500.
