The goal: Get Obama’s core supporters to make their case to the president. The social media campaign will focus on “rallying support from President Barack Obama’s online supporters, including the membership of Organizing For America [OFA],” an advisory states. The OFA is the group borne from Obama's reelection campaign that advocates for his agenda, and Keystone foes are targeting the pro-Obama group as part of the work against TransCanada Corp.’s proposed pipeline. Meanwhile, back at the White House: The Keystone pressure arrives as the Obama administration is seeking to keep the focus off the pipeline and on the president’s plans to roll out his climate agenda in the coming weeks. White House climate aide Heather Zichal previewed the plan at a Wednesday event, while the president laid the groundwork for his climate roll-out during a speech in Germany. This is exactly how he handles everyone of his agendas |
