Obama Using Tax Money to Campaign
“Jesse Lee will move from the new media department into a role in the communications department as Director of Progressive Media & Online Response,” said Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer” reported the Daily Caller. “Rapid response has been the purview of the Democratic National Committee… he will be pressing to make the administration more popular on the web.” wrote Sam Stein in the Huffington Post.
A search for Jesse Lee on WhiteHouse.gov states “Lee worked in the New Media department for the Transition team doing online outreach, having done online communications for the Democratic National Committee during election season. Prior to that he was Senior New Media Advisor to Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the 110th Congress, having worked for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee online from 2004-2006.”
Appearances are that Lee be doing the work of the DNC and Obama campaign on the taxpayer dime. If this was a Republican Administration that was doing this it would be in the newspapers and TV for the next month, on how they were using taxpayer money to run a political campaign. But what should we expect from a media that was in full support of Obama in the last election.
