The White House is starting to SPAM Americans ??
Yesterday is the first time for me getting mine.
Got yours yet ??

Subject: Health care news worth sharing.
From: President Barack Obama ...

Starts out by saying ---
Good afternoon,

You are receiving this email because you signed up at WhiteHouse.gov. My staff and I plan to use these messages as a way to directly communicate about important issues and opportunities, and today I have some encouraging updates about health care reform.

My feelings are that some imposter may send such mails with Malware included. Then we all can give a Memory Dump on the White House lawn. lol

Any thoughts ???

You could read the header information to see where the message actually came from. Depending on your email program, "view full headers" should be available somewhere in your menus.

Nope but HERE is the White House Briefing Room Blog that announced President Obama sending his first e-mail that is identical to what you posted.

I support President Barack Obama.

Shake it up! and don't be afraid to go out on a limb.

It's to bad the previous administration was not asked to step down.

I think if we are going to turn things around we should support the current administration.....or replace it if it turns out the be same BS. We do have that right...to have the admin resign.

If you are getting emails...you also have a reply button.

Who is new within his cabinet...everyone of them is either a crook by cheating on their taxes or worked under the Clinton Admin and now Pilosi is back pedaling so hard she is about to fall flat on her face...

There is nothing new or about any change except how to change what is ours into what is theirs...

Change Is Good

I didn't get such an email.

But then again, I am not ignorant of when, where & what I sign up for, both offline & online. So, I'm not surprised about being excluded from the subscriber dissemination.

AH! We got sarcasm from Sabertooth. I acknowlege his or her
smartness.

I did not sign up for anything. I just gave a suggestion at Whitehouse.gov. I am not pro-Obama.

I wasn't being sarcastic; just pointing out the not so obvious.

Implying categorically, that the current administration is somehow spamming Americans without the affected citizens' input is flat-out FUD rhetoric. They couldn't have gotten your email out of thin air & summarily sign you up for something.

Moreover, the purported spam email -- quoting you & by proxy them -- starts out by explaining that: "You are receiving this email because you signed up at WhiteHouse.gov." Claiming you didn't permit that is essentially doubtful ... Q.E.D.

I haven't gotten one but then again after the emails I was sending Bush on a regular basis they would probably rather not hear from me. As for health care reform, no matter what it can't make a difference in my life for far too many years. I figure it has been ten years maybe more since I could afford insurance no matter what some politicians do it wil probably be that long before I can afford it again.
