Obama campaign paying for ads on Brietbart.com? This might be a sign that Obama is getting desperate. Andrew Breitbart was the president’s arch-enemy but now his re-election campaign is spending money at Breitbart’s news site.

The only thing I'm in on, is getting his ass out.
I just went to Breitbart to read something and that ad was there. It convinced me Obama's campaign slogan should really be - "Is it in?"
There are several conservative web sites that have a picture of either Prince Barry or his less than stellar wife, Princess Mooochelle. It's funny the ads pop up next to stories about how Obama or the Administration screwed up something or said something stupid, and you get the ad that says "Obama 2012, are you in?" Yea in convulsive laughter looking at the ad...I guess the people who handle Barry think anyone will believe their bullshit.
A gay (but not liberal) friend of mine posted one of the "Are you in?" ads to Facebook. It had a picture of Michelle and the caption, "Tell Barack you're in." He was particularly amused by the pearl necklace she was wearing in conjunction with the "Tell Barack you're in" double entendre.
If I was running Breitbart now, I would think of it as win/win. Advertising greenbacks and comedy gold!
The headline could also read "Brietbard Viewers clicking on Obama Ad to drain their funds".
More likely, the ads are put up by google. When google, who monitors every frikken website everywhere, sees references to politics and in particular Obama, even ones like "Obama sucks" it targets the Obama ads to those websites. Which is why Alan Greyson ads have shown up on conservative websites as well. This is obviously a waste of money, but on the whole it's more likely that the ads will end up on Democratic websites, or even better for them, websites frequented by independents - the actual targets of the ads.
I have seen Obama ads on THIS site!
Oh, sure... assassinate Breitbart then - in an audacious attempt at cover - advertise on his website.
LOL I have to say that I was thinking the same thing!
Seems to me that for someone that isn't meeting his fundraising goals, Obama would spend his money a little wiser, but then he doesn't do that with our money either!
I wish the Republicans were as savvy in Internet ads as the Obama people. I saw Santorum ads all over the Internet. Santorum seemed to be a step ahead of the old Republican guard in Internet savvy, though it doesn't appear it's going to be enough to get Rick the nomination.
I would guess that Obama ads on Brietbart will have the opposite effect. But let Dear Leader keep blowing his money there instead of someplace that might get him a vote. Perhaps he should advertise on IHTM.
That's how I feel. Go ahead, Mr. President, blow your money on conservative websites! You won't pick up any votes there, not with that lame crap about oil companies.
He's hoping to find more dummies that believe that corporations pay taxes, rather than the end consumer. Brietbart isn't the place to go looking for said dummies.
