If Obama actually did not break his promise and therefor had a transparent administration, he would not need to create such silly named groups.

Even if he had fulfilled every promise he made, and had the most transparent administration ever, and had turned the economy into massive growth, he'd still have some idiots screaming about him being a Kenyan Muslim socialist from hell sent to destroy America.
 
When Obama gets reelected do you guys think spidey will implode into himself and create a black hole?

Ummm...no. Even if his administration were 100% transparent, there would still be people spreading the same kind of FUD that we have seen. If the goal is to win in politics at any cost, then facts don't matter. 🙁

Wow this thread is going places... Spidey is showing how fucking insane he is. You seriously are going to "report" people for trying to fight lies? Typical right fashion I guess... spread lies not truth, it is the only way they know how.

Your post has been reported to ATTACKWATCH!.com. A truth team will be dispatched shortly. You can recognize truth team members by their insignia and special badge of "T" for TRUTH. For He is keeping His word, speech against His Truth is strictly forbidden and should be reported to The Party immediately.

Your cooperation will be rewarded.
 
An incumbent presidential candidate has a website where he tries to argue against attacks made against him? OMG OMG THE HORROR

Probably, but then people could not complain about his breaking of promises.

You obviously haven't read the thread. From the article:
And last year, the campaign launched Attack Watch, a website and Twitter hashtag that urged supporters to “report” misinformation and criticism of the president to his team. The hashtag backfired when it was appropriated for use by Obama’s opponents; the website still exists, though the campaign has backed away from using the social-media aspect.

The website for "Attack watch"
http://www.attackwatch.com/

I'm sure spidey did what he said and reported it to "Attack Watch"

Anyone that doesn't finds echoes of Orwell in the whole thing are truly lacking in imagination.

Nope, because he didn't get to the point clearly. This thread was confusing from the start and I didn't want to waste my time trying to research a spidey point.

Facts like what? That his administration is not especially transparent, that deficits are skyrocketing, unemployment is horrible, or that the misery index is at a 28 year high? Facts do matter...and they don't especially treat Obama kindly.

So, as part of Obama's re-election campaign, he's going to try to get people to disprove the streams of bullshit about him being a Kenyan Muslim socialist from Mars? Oh, the horror. 🙄
