“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

"Truth Teams": George Orwell would be proud.....

......if he was alive, and hadn't renounced socialism:
Obama Campaign Launches 'Truth Teams
The Obama campaign is today beginning a new effort to enlist and educate at least 2 million supporters for a "grassroots communications team" they're calling the Truth Team.

"The goal is to ensure that when Republicans attack President Obama's record, grassroots supporters can take ownership of the campaign and share the facts with the undecided voters in their lives," the campaign said in a statement.

The teams will be first launched in 13 "swing states," including Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia.
And if you're looking for an example of why "Team Obama" and "Truth Team" are oxymorons, look no further than here: 
LYING ABOUT LEW'S LIE

Over at ABC News Jake Tapper passes on the White House spin on White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew’s lie regarding the Democrats’ failure to pass a budget in more than 1,000 days:.
..<snip>...
According to Tapper, “White House officials did not dispute that Lew misspoke.” But John Hinderaker had a slightly more accurate bead on Lew’s comment: “It is inconceivable that Obama’s former Director of the Office of Management and Budget does not know that by law, a budget resolution cannot be filibustered. It passes the Senate with 51 votes.”
Next November, Obama. Must. Go.
