President Obama’s job approval rating is dismal, especially when it comes to the economy. People may like him personally, but 62% disapprove of his handling of the economy. Throw in stunning Democrat losses in the special elections in New York and Nevada, and things are looking bad for The One.
Rather than try something different that may actually help, the Obama campaign has launched a new website called Attack Watch. People are instructed to “Report an attack” to the folks at MyBarackObama.com. Does pointing out his terrible approval ratings constitute an attack? How about Congressional Democrats picking apart his jobs plan? Will they be reported? Will The Washington Times be reported for telling us about his “shady solar subsidies”?
I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
Update: It looks like this may be backfiring on Twitter.
The hashtag was already in heavy rotation by Twitter users by Wednesday morning, but many users are conservatives such as columnist Michelle Malkin, who offered up her own daily column as an example of an Obama “attack.”
My latest tweet: My paycheck and way of life are under #AttackWatch by President Obama.
It’s funny watching the tweets come in. I like this one.

Pitting Americans against each other is classic Alinsky tactics (identify and polarize). Obama only knows how to resist in those ways so this is very acceptable to progressives. Can you imagine if any Republican candidate were to put up a site such as his? We’d be seeing goose stepping Nazis flashing between the candidate from the LMSM. The web site name should be finkyourfellowamerican.org. Despicable to say the least.

The Dems are the same as the Repugnicans. Just a bunch of lying politicians looking out for their special interest groups. Its time to vote in a massively independent congress. That might scare the two parties into focusing on Americas real needs instead of their ideological agendas. Until the parties begin to work for the majority of Americans this country will continue to be in a terrible mess.

IN 2007 when Barak Obama began campaigning for president the internet was replete with ATTACK dogs who would attack EVERY post ever written negatively about Obama.
The patrolled the internet. It was eerie. It was scary and it was also very effective. You literally could not post a negative post about Obama without seeing 15 people show up that had NEVER posted on that website and post scathing rebuttals against your points he was too liberal, too inexperience, too whatever……
They are just gearing up for a redo. It was HUGELY effective in 2007-2008 because people did not understand Cloward and Piven or the Alinsky Strategy and OBAMA did NOT have a record other then hopey/dopey/changey speeches.
Will it be effective today? Yes. But I think there is nothing that can prevent Obama from being defeated save a horrendous showing by the GOP……however the prize is still the Senate and the House.
Then they can redo regulations without the need for the presidents signature. Thats the real prize.

…and the ghost of old Crafty Richard (aka Tricky Dick, aka former President Richard Nixon) is eagerly watching as the one, the only, our very own Ozymandias-on-the-Potomac compiles his own online, paranoid, Conservative-phobic Enemies List.
Such bittersweet irony.

This is just begging to be attacked by the various hacker groups that love to toy with people who think they have any ability to do this sort of thing over the internet.
