After insisting no one was receiving unsolicited e-mails from the White House, officials reversed their story Monday night and blamed outside political groups for the unwanted messages from the tech-savvy operation.
Look at what the WH online director said:
“It has come to our attention that some people may have been subscribed to our e-mail lists without their knowledge — likely as a result of efforts by outside groups of all political stripes — and we regret any inconvenience caused by receiving an unexpected message,” Phillips wrote.
“We’re certainly not interested in anyone receiving e-mails from the White House who don’t want them. That’s one reason why we have never — and will never — add names from a commercial or political list to the White House list,” he wrote.
Unfortunately, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 “does not require e-mailers to get permission before they send marketing messages”. On the other hand, it requires that the emails give recipients an opt-out method. If anyone here received the spam emails, tell us in the comments if they had a link to opt-out..
I realize that spam is not a huge problem, but the recent White House spam-fest just seems, in their own words, “fishy”. If the current bill Health Care was good, they wouldn’t need to convince the public or the so-called blue dog democrats of anything.
Shame on you, Obama. We all hoped for lower taxes, no giving money to banks, more freedom and liberty, less wars. That’s certainly not what’s happening.
#57/58,
For you, Fido, it’s very simple. You either wish to save your wife’s life or 10 strangers’. Which is it?
For you, Confusion, you’ve already said you would do anything in your power. It is in your power to send those 10 husbands packing. Now we just need to know why?
I’d bet a shiny silver dollar anybody with a set of balls would actually answer this question if it were posed to them.
As I’ve said before, I’m not going away on this until you either see this through or I’m banned. Eventually, you’ll run out of excuses.
#61, loser,
Your question has been answered. Mine, though hasn’t.
Why didn’t you save my father?
Phydeau,
A fairy god-parent came up to me this morning. It said I could have anything in the world I would like, except whatever I got, I would have to give twice that to an enemy. So I picked Liberty Loser for my enemy.
For my first wish, I chose 1/3 of the money in the world. Loser gets 2/3s. OK, that’s in keeping with the fairy god-parent’s directions.
Next, I asked for 1/3 of all the most beautiful women in the world. And yes, Loser gets twice what I get.
I then asked to be beaten halfway to death. And yes, Loser gets twice what I get.
What a lucky guy. Even if he’s a loser Loser, I still think of his welfare.

On another thread someone accused Loser of giving fellatio and chasing rabbits. I defended Loser by telling the other party that Loser can’t run that fast.

Q: How many Losers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: None. Liebertarians prefer being kept in the dark. That way they don’t have to face reality.
#62, Your question has been answered.
No, it hasn’t.
Please answer the question.
WHY would you save your wife instead of 10 strangers?
Why didn’t you save my father?
#65, You are avoiding the question like all good liberals do with a weak attempt to change the subject.
Please answer the question.
WHY would you save your wife instead of 10 strangers?
Why didn’t you save my father.
#67, Imitation is the best form of flattery. Thank you.
Now where were we . . . oh, that’s right. You were trying to find a hair long enough on your ass to answer the question:
WHY would you save your wife instead of 10 strangers?
Obama stopped spamming me after he won, but Ron Paul just won’t quit.
