Conclusion:
Speaker Pelosi decried the appearance of a “government propaganda machine.”152 The public relations and propaganda initiatives of this Administration should alarm the Speaker in the same way. Since January 20, 2009, the Obama Administration has initiated several public relations programs that violate various prohibitions on federally-financed propaganda and create inappropriate pressure on federal workers and those who rely on federal dollars.
During the first year of this Administration, there was the appearance that the White House is using federal resources to run a four-year campaign for the presidency in 2012.
The machinery of the Obama presidential campaign, much of which is now working within the Administration, forged relationships with various constituencies that supported certain aspects of the President’s agenda.
The White House has failed to transition from campaign-mode to leadership-mode and is now inappropriately leveraging those campaign--trail relationships to unlawfully generate support for the President’s agenda.
