Fox News Reports on an Unsolicited Email from David Axelrod While the White House Corrects the Issue
Fox News is careful to point out that they are not saying the White House intentionally sent an unsolicited email from David Axelrod on health care reform - as that would be illegal - they're just asking. Although the liberal website, MediaMatters.org, challenges Fox News' claim.
But, as they did during the 2008 presidential campaign, the White House pays attention to Fox News. According to Fox News, Nick Shapiro, the White House spokesman, sent Fox News a written statement indicating that they were working to correct the problem on their website by making "subscribing to e-mails clearer" and by "preventing advocacy organizations from signing people up to our lists without their permission..."
With the public at a boiling point with health care reform, and with Obama hitting the road with his health care speeches, some are skeptical about blaming third party groups for the unsolicited email from David Axelrod on health care reform even though The White House does not get email addresses unless they are entered on the White House website.
According to ABC News and the Washington Post, Obama's favorability numbers are slipping in the polls when it comes to health care reform. And to add fuel to the fire, he has had to defend his August deadline for the health care bill to fellow Democrats like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who believes that the August deadline is too soon.
The White House has said that they are not in the business of sending emails to people who don't ask for them. So how desperate are they? With images of the public shouting in town hall forums, how many people have looked at the White House's "Health Insurance Reform Reality Check" Web page? Furthermore, how many believe or understand what it says? Indeed, under mounting public pressure, the White House is poised to drop the government run insurance option as part of the health care reform.
For a country that is one of the richest in the world, most agree that health care, in the United States, is in dire need of reform. Relying on your employer for health care is a process that has left many Americans without health care. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, at least 46 million Americans are without health care. The issue of the unsolicited email from David Axelrod will get resolved. Health care reform, on the other hand, won't be so easy.
