Obama Regime Adds Taxpayer Funded Online Propaganda Czar to Support Re-Election Campaign
Hat tip to alert Hillbuzz reader In DC Troll for this remarkable tidbit at Media Bistro:

The White House has named Jesse Lee to a new position within its communications department titled Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. According to The Huffington Post, Lee will essentially be responsible for building up Obama’s online presence as he prepares for his reelection bid, and squashing any negative stories.
Yes, you heard right! The most open and transparent American administration in history now has a paid-by-taxpayers staffer whose job it is to “monitor” “new media” outlets–like Hillbuzz, for example–to eliminate online criticism of The Won. Makes sense, when you think about it, since the Lamestream Media is already entirely in the tank for Barak Hussein Obama, who is not a Muslim. The only place you will find criticism accurate reporting about the Obama Regime is online or on talk radio.
This position isn’t funded by the Democrat National Committee or Teh Won’s re-election campaign. It’s an official White House position, a government job, funded by the taxpayers of America, to stifle your First Amendment rights.
Jesse Lee is apparently taking his new position very seriously, if his first tweet is any indication:

How can this possibly be legal? How can a civil servant be working on a re-election campaign from inside the White House? This may be an excellent question for your Senators and Representative.
Code Name “Chalaque”: Scotland Yard Gives Obama “Mildly Offensive” Nickname During Visit
H/T ChicksOnTheRight.com
Again, sometimes these things just write themselves.
Scotland Yard, the organization in charge of security operations during the Obamas’ taxpayer-funded shopping and sightseeing vacation state visit to the UK, has given Obama the code name “Chalaque,” which in Punjabi is a “mildly offensive” insult used to denigrate someone who is “too clever for their own good.’
In other words, “Chalaque” is Punjabi for “Pompous Smartass.”
From the UK Mail:
Scotland Yard insiders told the Sunday Times that their codewords are ‘randomly generated by computer’, but the paper wondered why officials decided to stick with them, when they could have simply had another word selected that would be less provocative.
Still, that’s not the kind of thing that normally rattles Obama, who recently told reporters he keeps calm under pressure by taking some time off for ‘golf, laughter and travel’.
For the first time this week, I’m proud of my non-Muslim, post-racial President. Way to go, Captain Smartass!

Really, the captions practically write themselves. Check out the comments on YouTube…they’re priceless.
So, what’s on your mind? What’s the scuttlebutt in your neck of the woods?
Are you prepared for the kinds of disasters that have hit Missouri, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Minnesota…etc. etc.? When was the last time you told the important people in your life that you love them?
(UPDATE: H/T to alert Hillbuzz reader GreenLantern2011 for the video. Apparently our charming First Couple weren’t in “The Beast” at the time. But that in no way impacts the comedy value of this clip.)
