Barack Obama met at the White House Wednesday with five progressive bloggers for a group interview. One of the bloggers, Joe Sudbay, was a 2008 Obama presidential campaign donor and fundraiser who did secret "dirty work" for the Obama campaign. Also invited for the session was John Amato of Crooks & Liars, Oliver Willis of OliverWillis.com, Barbara Morrill of DailyKos, and Duncan Black (aka Atrios) of Eschaton.

Sudbay, of the homosexual-oriented Americablog, is recorded by the FEC as having donated $1400 to Obama for America in 2008. His partner at Americablog, John Aravosis, wrote that he and Sudbay raised "nearly $43,000 for Obama.
As was first reported on Free Republic back in August, Aravosis had an online tantrum at Obama on Americablog after White House spokesman Robert Gibbs attacked inside the beltway progressive critics of Obama.
Aravosis let slip that he and Sudbay had been asked by the Obama campaign to perform unspecified surreptitious "dirty work." And that they had done so "gladly."

Joe and I are upset with Obama, and we, for example, raised nearly $43,000 for the man, According to the White House, our money now doesn’t count. Great, would they like to give it back? I for one, would love the $1000 back that I personally donated to the Obama campaign. Joe gave even more. I suspect a lot of our readers wouldn’t mind their contributions back too, since apparently they’re not appreciated.
Then there’s all that work we did for the campaign, all the dirty work they asked us to do – and we did it, gladly, and quietly – none of that counted either, apparently.
Americablog, August 10, 2010.
The White House transcript of the session with the bloggers shows Sudbay obsessed with 'gay' issues. Neither he nor Obama bring up the "dirty work" he performed for the campaign.
Will the White House press corps demand the Obama administration come clean on the president's relationship with Sudbay and Aravosis and what was the "dirty work" the duo performed for Obama?
We know what the answer would be if the president was George W. Bush.
They look like a seedy bunch!
This person, John Aravosis let slip something we both may know about personally.
“As was first reported on Free Republic back in August, Aravosis had an online tantrum at Obama on Americablog after White House spokesman Robert Gibbs attacked inside the beltway progressive critics of Obama.”
“Aravosis let slip that he and Sudbay had been asked by the Obama campaign to perform unspecified surreptitious “dirty work.” And that they had done so “gladly.””
Hmmm...I wonder if that included cracking the CPUs of folks who post here on Free Republic!
Thanks, kristinn, for posting this. These people are criminals who think they’re smarter than everyone else.
Oh goody. Sodom and Gohmorrah time at the WH. Was his “iReggie” there too???
They’ve goten away with it so far. Eric Holder learned well at the knee of Janet Reno.
kristinn ... you forgot to mention Oliver Willis is an employee (although, sadly, not a SuperFellow, at Media Matters).
It was Holder who really ran the Attorney General’s office. He was as close to Hillary and Bill as he is to Obama nowadays.
On the other news today...
ABC has reported that the Democratic National Committee has requested FOIA files of the leading Republican potential candidates to the Pentagon.
THIS IS NIXONIAN OF MULTIPLE PROPORTION.
We followed the instructions to get rid of the Registry Cleaner trojan, but the only thing that rkill.exe would ever shut down was rkill.exe.
This push to be able to shut down IP addresses that have viruses is SO transparent. If they were able to do this they could put a virus on anybody they wanted and that would be it. Every one of us who has done any research about Obama’s eligibility problem, for instance, could be shut down before we could say Jim Robinson.
One of the first things John Brennan (I think it was him) did was to get a “communications czar” who he said could “think like the criminals” - supposedly so he could know how to stop the criminals. Yeah, right. You and I both know better.
Digging up dirt on fellow Dems? No wonder some of them destroyed their careers to vote for Obamacare.
They make $43,000 in bundled funds sound like a big deal. That’s almost exactly how much I raised for Fred Thompson in the brief period he was in the running and I’ve never had a blog and have never met or talked to Fred or his people. Whoop dee doo!
Thanks for the info.

Too late Barry!
I think that they had Google help on that one. Before the election, you could put in any Freeper’s name and FreeRepublic, or a subject and every post that they ever made would come up. I haven’t tried it in awhile, but I bet you cannot still do that.
Our failure to do this since McCarthy is the reason Pelosi is SOTH and Hussein is POTUS.
Hit the red sons of bitches hard right between the eyes, and that starts with refusing to play their Orwellian game.
Are you sure that picture isn’t photoshopped? It seems kind of suspicious to me (not that I’m an expert)—but then again, maybe it’s the lowlife subjects that are making me feel that way...
Wow! That’s interesting.
