    Here's the post that inspired this thread... Obama wants you to pledge loyalty to him tomorrow: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2210534/posts After reading this I made a decision. I am not the kind to sit idly by and let a good crisis go to waste so I decided to act... this is what I found. Being the good citizen that I am, I signed on to the site (Using my pen name, of course... like they can’t figure that out). The area is http://my.barackobama.com/page/dashboard/private.
