RNC Launches Lame Anti-Obama Site

Let the games begin, I suppose. The Republican National Committee has launched MeetBarackObama.com, a site with such features as:

• The Rezko Judgement, which takes you to a YouTube video put together by no more objective a source than, yes, the RNC
• Barack Obama’s Resume, which features another video produced by the RNC and deriding Obama’s experience.
• A poll you where you choose which of the following is Obama’s greatest weakness: a) lack of political experience, b) he’s out of touch with the American family, or c) liberal policy positions. Now there’s a fairly worded poll if I ever saw one!
• Can We Ask, a page to upload your own YouTube video of you asking a question of Obama. The first question is posed by Grover Norquist, or just “Grover” as it lists him in the credits. All of the remaining questions have been posed by men in Washington, D.C. or Arlington, Va. except possibly for the ones asked by someone named “Anonymous,” who has posted about half of them so far, and whom I suspect to be Karl Rove.
• A time clock that counts down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds since Barack Obama last visited Iraq. Plus, there’s a downloadable widget so you can add the clock to your own right-wing web site.
• “Newsfeed” which does not take you to actual news stories, but just to pages assembled by the RNC on topics like “Why Obama Must Go To Iraq,” “Sen. Hillary Clinton on Obama`s Rezko Connections,” “Obama Must Answer Questions so the American People Can Decide,” “DNC Committeeman and Top Clinton Adviser Harold Ickes on Barack Obama`s Electability” and more.
• Many, many opportunities to donate to the Republican party and to join their email lists.

Visit if you must but it’s a bit of a snoozer. If this is the best they can do, our team should have a pretty easy time of it this fall.
