This morning the Obama website gives a live link to listen to the Focus on the Family Christian radio program. The site encourages callers to phone the program, which focuses on conservative Christian based family values, and make some of the following points on air:

"-It's outrageous that Rep. Joe Barton, the top Republican on the committee overseeing the oil spill and its aftermath, delivered a personal apology to BP -- and that other Republicans echoed his call.
-BP has a responsibility to those whose lives and livelihoods have been devastated by the oil spill. The $20 billion fund is a major victory for the people of the Gulf and a big step toward helping families and businesses get back on their feet and recover from this disaster.
-Rep. Joe Barton and Republicans like him don’t understand that the real tragedy is what’s happening to the people in the Gulf Coast. Instead they are big oil's strongest allies, receiving thousands of dollars in campaign donations from the oil and gas industry. Barton himself has received more than $100,000 from industry this cycle.
-While the Administration continues holding BP’s feet to the fire and oversees efforts to counter the oil spill, the President has said Democrats and Republicans must come together to pass comprehensive energy legislation that ensures this kind of environmental crisis never happens again.
Barton should apologize to the people of the Gulf and he should step down as the highest-ranking Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. And every other Congressional Republicans should repudiate his comments."


Does anyone else find this strategy interesting?
