Obama on Internet Offense for Health Care

President Obama launched a new website today to refute attacks on his health reform proposal.

"Health Insurance Reform Reality Check" is the latest volley in the online health care wars.

Recent organized protests by citizens opposed to the Obama proposal have set back the timing for passage and set the Whitehouse scrambling to respond.

Old-fashioned in-person protests still work even in the midst of the current love affair of social media.

Obama is using the ever popular "share" button to allow immediate post of comments and the url of the new site on Facebook and Twitter, send an email or play a short video for supporters.

Keep an eye on this one as it morphs with the latest in online technology.
