The White House has named Jesse Lee to a new position within its communications department titled Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. According to The Huffington Post, Lee will essentially be responsible for building up Obama’s online presence as he prepares for his reelection bid, and squashing any negative stories: “The post is a new one for this White House. Rapid response has usually been outsourced to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), if not done on an ad-hoc basis by administration officials. And it signals that the White House will be adopting a more aggressive defense of the president and his policies as his re-election campaign gears up.”

It appears that appointing a federal employee, paid with American taxpayer dollars, specifically to do partisan campaign work (building up BO's online re-election campaign presence and squelching any negative BO re-election campaign stories)is definitely in violation of the Hatch Act as well as Federal Election Campaign Laws. Professor? Attorneys who follow this blog?
"Rapid response"? Don't you mean "rabid response"?
I read at HillBuzz that he's on the taxpayer dime. Isn't that illegal, Professor? Shouldn't Barry's personal campaign internet troll be paid by the DNC, the Obama campaign or Obama's own money and not force US to fund our attacker?
