I cite Obama's disregard of the law and basic ethical principles because it's public, obvious, and widely known - not because it's dispicable (getting people to think about that is a bonus.)

The right way to deal with policy opponents is to defend your own policies and attack any dis-information they try to spread: not the person, the disinformation.

What Obama et al are doing is fundemenally an ad hominem response to policy disagreement: wrong morally, legally, and electorally.

The big issue here, however, is not the political illustration of what's going on but the fact that colleges, employers, and lawyers are all getting into the game - and the only answer (given that the genie's bottle is beyond repair) is to clean up what you say in any forum likely to become accessible to these people.
