Bullying Gallup

Just three days after Gallup Polls published a poll inimical to the Obama administration, the Department of “Justice” filed suit against them. Is this an attempt to get them to “toe the line?” “In a move that could have chilling First Amendment consequences, the Obama regime this week showed that it’s willing to use the full weight and power of the Justice Department to pummel any media outlet that doesn’t toe the party line.” (Keyboard Militia) This looks to be in response to a Gallup finding that criticized Obama for “tinkering with unemployment numbers.” By the way: the action was instigated by a former Obama operative. That former Gallup employee (Michael Lindley, a former Obama organizer in Council Bluffs, Iowa in the 2008 election) will get a cut”of any moneys extorted from Gallup in this suit. It is doubtful if there will be any, since Gallup’s figures show that REAL unemployment figures, if known, would SINK Obama in the upcoming election. (The Daily Caller)
