Just like SOME of us on the board come in and add post that refute many of the lies that are

[mfcorey1]

spewed about the President daily, why can't his PR team do the same thing? They are not reaching the ears of the American public. Jarrett, Axlerod, and others rarely appear on cable or MSM shows. When they do, they are seldom effective and their appearances are not memorable. The loudest voices I hear always on the positive for the President are Sharpton, Maddow, and Bill Press. The President's close advisors will be his undoing. Ed wobbles in and out. Matthews is fine until Sarah Palin comes in the fray, and then he about loses his mind with lust, almost begging her to compete for the office of the presidency.

1. If he does get a second term I would love to see him clean house and

hire new people who are out in front.

[Vincardog]

5. He needs to clean house and change direction before he can expect to get votes

2. are I think they are too busy because

they here at DU and are feverishly refuting "many of the lies that are spewed about the President daily"

[tblue]

3. What lies on DU?

Really. I don't think I've seen any here. Both sides seem to have facts to back them up.

[corkhead]

13. I was quoting the OP, hence the "". my comment wasn't taking sides on that

just that there seems to be a lot of it going on here.. You should be asking the author of the OP that question

[elocs]

4. The talents of the DU spinmeisters and lie-refuters are wasted here.

A team of DU PR superstars should be sent to D.C. to set everything right, or left as it may be.

[Demit]

9. What are DU spinmeisters? What do they spin?

You say that they are spinning here, but they actually need to be spinning in DC. What would they do there? What do they spin so well here that they need to spin there? Is truth involved at all? Isn't truth a different thing from spin?

[ProgressoDem]

6. Because there are less morons here than in the real world. n/t

7. It would be a very good idea, he needs them to do so daily.

The fight against the GOP is a never ending battle imo.

8. He does not appear to have effective Political Advisors and

this has been the situation for far too long.

10. Very Effectively Destroying the Democratic Party, Is That Their Goal?

Neither Obama nor his top advisers are dumb people. They were previously effective enough to get the top jobs in their professions. They even over-came almost insurmountable odds to get Obama elected. So, we must conclude that Obama and his advisers do not want a strong, effective Democratic Party or they would put their considerable talents to that end.

Obama and his advisers' positions on health care, oil, coal and nuclear energy, free trade agreements, labor rights and support for the criminal banksters does not co-incide with Democratic Party positions, let alone those of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Thus their actual goal may be to destroy the Democratic Party as a force in American politics. If so, they have been very effective, indeed. Perhaps they are seeking to build a "third force", composed of right-wing Democrats, Independents and the non-extremist conservatives within the Republican Party. Obama's policies are certainly consistent with that set of politics.

So, time to recognize that the traditional Democratic Party is being betrayed by its elected leaders and start afresh to re-build the strength of the party at the local and state levels so we can wrest back control of the party from Obama and his bankster demi-dems.

11. Where do some of us get the information?

And why shouldn't other people defend the President?

I don't know what Axelrod has to do all day. But I'm pretty sure he's got the job for a reason.

12. Give SOME example of a lie "spewed" daily. Thank you,
