Obama's fan can now find him on Facebook

New York:Senator Barack Obama has got a new profile on the Internet. After calling the Democratic nominee the world’s biggest celebrity, the Republicans have now put him on Facebook.This fake Facebook profile of Obama is piled high with political spin. Anyone might see this and say,” Wow, I didn’t know ... ...yet.This is the goal of Barackbook.com which has been paid for and promoted by the Republican National Committee."I think a lot of Americans don't know a lot about Barack Obama, and legitimately, the Republican National Committee is getting the information out,” says an American citizen.Among those listed as "friends" on Obama's fake Barackbook page is convicted fundraiser Tony Rezko. Click on his name and viewers are told that Rezko was among Obama's first political supporters and that he sold Obama a piece of land next to his hyde park home.Another click in the friend column, and one finds an unflattering mug shot of William Ayers, the 60's radical-turned-distinguished professor, who Obama has said is just a casual acquaintance."There's nothing new here. It is stuff people have known for a long time -- probably some relationships in there they don't want to be on the Web,” the citizen added.State treasurer Alexi Giannoulias said he is proud to call himself a friend of Barack Obama but isn't thrilled about seeing himself in the "friends" column along with old stories about questionable loans he made before being elected."They're trying to throw everything they can against the wall and see what sticks,” Giannoulias said.
