#1 There's something fishy about Obama's healthcare plan... there! I said it! Take me away to the Bernadine Dohrn Reeducation Camp!

#2 Lol. Insert snarky comment regarding Michelle's personal hygine, not Barack! I know - I should be deleting comments like this, not making them. Can't help it, Heh.

#4 The White House office might well be in violation of the law, too:

According to 5 U.S.C. § 552a, United States agencies, including the Executive Office of the President shall, maintain no record describing how any individual exercises rights guaranteed by the First Amendment unless expressly authorized by statute or by the individual about whom the record is maintained or unless pertinent to and within the scope of an authorized law enforcement activity.

#5 I should also add, I wonder what kind of spam flag@whitehouse.gov might get on a day to day basis.

#6 My logic follows my convictions: Rights first, wife second. Since his priorities are so out of whack and she supports this, the swipe was intentional and, of course, well-deserved.

#8 Can you imagine what would happen if Bush did a stunt like this. The media would eat him alive. Instead with Zero the media just orders more kneepads.

And what happens after something is 'flagged'? They must intend to do something. Do they send out the enforcers of truth?

#9 If I didn't have better things to do, I might just flag a bunch of stuff from the Puffington Host and Daily Kossack.

Why not a little red on red?

#11 I might just flag a bunch of stuff from the Puffington Host and Daily Kossack.

I already did.

The white house may or may not be signed up for a bunch of gay pr0n too.

#12 I added a pic from Ace.

Fishy indeed.

#13 maybe I should simply put an automatic cc: to flag@whitehouse.com on every email I send and an automatic forward to flat@... on every email I receive

you never know

one man's routine correspondence is another man's fishy

#14 My wife is sending them YouTube clips of various Obama and Sebelius etc. speeches - clearly full of lies and deceptions and deserving correction.

#17 Just listened to this, does that get me turned in? I can claim ignorance, since my school didn't have available an Austrian language class.

#18 Austrians speak German. Sort of.
