President Barack Obama called for liberal bloggers to put pressure on Congress to move health care reform bills after a group of six Senators asked for more time to consider the overhaul of 16-17 percent of our economy.
Is it working?
A quick sampling of blog posts would indicate that the bloggers are spending more time reporting on their conference call with the Pres than going on the offensive.
The Daily Kos’ McJoan: Blogger Call with President Obama
Digby: Debunk And Deprogram (a recap)
ThinkProgress: Obama tells progressive bloggers that ‘a robust public option would be the best way to go.’
Crooks and Liars’ John Amato put up audio of the call.
The news of the call did spark some fire and mockery from the right:
Lonely Conservative: Aw! President Obama had a conference call with liberal bloggers!
Dan Riehl’s Riehl World View: Obama Con Call: Liberal Bloggers Only
MacsMind: Obama Goes to the Moonbats for Help on Health Care
Another case of the medium becoming the message.
