Obama's campaign set up a new web site yesterday to respond to the unprecedented amount of internet rumors that have spawned against him. Most of the rumors come to me via e-mail from Republican friends and family that never bother to investigate the information they get in their e-mail. They read it, believe it, and then click 'Forward'.
ABC News Correspondent Jake Tapper talks about the new web site on his blog:
This fits in with a theory we've discussed on this blog before -- that some Republicans seem to feel that the only way they can win this election is by sliming Obama with unfounded innuendo and personal attacks, instead of the ideas, experience, and proposals...
He is absolutely correct. I think all campaigns turn negative eventually...especially if you are losing but the Republican base seems to be on a never-ending negative campaign against whatever Democrat is getting headlines at the time.
I have to admit that I am a little disappointed in the number of rumors he has chosen to respond to. There are so many and he only responded to five.
