Barack Obama Exposed - The Poll!  
Right wingers have been running around for a year now with the same old pathetic smears against Barack Obama. We progressives have had our information about Barack Obama too, and we've been doing our best to share that information - at Irregular Times, we've given Barack Obama his own blog category for instance. Yet, it seems that the dirty attacks, no matter how little substance they have, are the ones that get the attention.

It's time for Barack Obama supporters to pay attention. If right wing hacks like the people at Human Events can spread their report, entitled Barack Obama Exposed! around the Internet, then so can we. We can make our own report with the same title - or do a kind of distributed network project, in which we all write under the theme of "Barack Obama Exposed". There's a difference in our project, though: We're working to expose the truth about Barack Obama.

Let me give an example with this poll. I'll write on the subject of Barack Obama Exposed, but in a positive, truthful light, thus bringing undecided voters who might otherwise be reading right wing deceptive reports to some useful facts instead.
