Taxpayers Paying for Top Google Search Keywords to Promote Obama Agenda

It appears taxpayers are now footing the bill to give Obama's rhetoric and programs top billing in Google searches. In case you don't know, there are two ways to get to the top of Google searches. First is hard work known as search engine optimization and the second is just buy your way to the top. It appears the taxpayers are buying Obama's way to the top in hopes of stopping negative articles from trumping his agenda.

The obvious first buy is over the Obama healthcare law, which was rule unconstitutional last week. Health and Human Services has paid to put pro-Obama, pro-Obamacare rhetoric to the top.

From the Politico:

“We are using a bunch of search term[s] to help point people to HealthCare.gov. Part of our online efforts to help get accurate information to people about the new law (i.e. also use Facebook, Twitter, blogs and webcasts),” an HHS official confirmed by e-mail.

The ad buy represents a kind of recognition that the Administration has, to a degree, lost a battle over defining its terms, and that “ObamaCare” — coined and used largely by detractors of the plan — is in wide circulation. A search for the term on Google yields 2.5 million results.
