Just like there are Republican groupies (Limbaugh, Hannity, Mark Levin fans), unpaid, calling Obama "Barry" or "a community organizer"

Treat the online support for Obama with suspicion:
[t]here is a leaked email that has gotten surprisingly little attention around here. It's the one where AaronBarr discusses his intention to post at DailyKos - presumably something negative about Anonymous, the hacking group. But that's not the email I'm talking about here.
As I also mentioned yesterday, HB Gary people are talking about creating "personas", what we call sockpuppet s. This isn't new. PR firms have been using fake "people" to promote products and other things for a while now, both online and even in bars & coffee houses.
But for a defense contractor with ties to the federal government, Hunton & Williams, DOD, NSA, and the CIA - whose enemies are labor unions, progressiv e organizati ons, journalist s, and progressiv e bloggers, a persona apparently goes far beyond creating a mere sockpuppet .
According to an embedded MS Word document found in one of the HB Gary emails, it involves creating an army of sockpuppets, with sophistica ted "persona management " software that allows a small team of only a few people to appear to be many, while keeping the personas from accidental ly cross-cont aminating each other. Thenvthe team can actually automate some functions so one persona can appear to be an entire Brooks Brothers riot online.
Using the assigned social media accounts we can automate the posting of content that is relevant to the persona. In this case there are specific social media strategy website RSS feeds we can subscribe to and then repost content on twitter with the appropriate hashtags. In fact using hashtags and gaming some location based check-in services we can make it appear as if a persona was actually at a conference and introduce himself/he rself to key individual s as part of the exercise, as one example. There are a variety of social media tricks we can use to add a level of realness to all fictitious personas
By the way, when I said that "There's rarely a majority in Congress to pass anything at all until a campaign has been mounted to sell it", Obama has a clear pattern of mounting campaigns to sell his Republican

There's rarely a majority in Congress to pass anything at all until a campaign has been mounted to sell it.
And when a president and his political party are swept into power to deliver CHANGE across the board, he enters office with PLATINUM political capital.
Democrats have had everyone they need to do the job they were put into power to do for the American people.
During the Bush years, Democrats said if the People wanted change, they had to put Democrats in the majority in Congress. So in 2006, we did. Nothing changed.
Democrats said, "You have to give us more Democrats -- 60 in the Senate". In 2008, we gave them the 60. And the White House.
Obama came into office with the wind at his back. More people voted for him, a black man in America, than ever in the history of the US. They did it because of his ability to persuade that he was going to change the system, end the corporatoc
And no sooner did Obama get elected than he slammed the brakes on the momentum of his election & a filibuster
