The President’s new site aimed at fighting that with which they disagree collects anything negative written of the President — what it terms “smears.”
Obama for America national field director Jeremy Bird said the site offers “new resources to fight back,” including policy issue pages that fact check statements by Obama’s Republican opponents with links to “evidence” to back them up. Its slogan is “Get the facts. Fight the smears.”
According to the site, Obama volunteers can also help campaign headquarters keep track of attacks on the president by submitting “reports” via mailform and tweeting about them using the Twitter hashtag #attackwatch.
The initiative is a throwback to a similar online effort launched by Team Obama during the 2008 campaign, called Fight the Smears.
I can’t wait to see AttackWatch dispel the unfounded attacks that is the White House’s involvement with the uber failed Solyndra, Fast and Furious, and Gibson raid.
The facts? Arbitrary.
Who does AttackWatch rely upon for defense? Soros-funded Think Progress:
This sounds eerily familiar to the Obama Truth Squad we had here in St. Louis.
The White House has been working overtime to gain control of the narrative and save Obama’s reelection bid after numerous polls show his approval rating tanking. Recently the administration flooded reporters’ inboxes with emails on his jobs address.

**READER ACTION:
Can you suggest in the comments actions of “false smears” we should report to AttackWatch? I.e. Solyndra? Gibson? Fast and Furious? I’d like to see the “information” with which AttackWatch arms its spin doctors.
