A whole bunch of Obamanation has filtered out in the past couple of days, and none is especially encouraging. Remember, this was to be the most ethical and transparent administration in the history of the country. Some folks will say anything to get elected, it seems. That whole politicization of the NEA, which BO disavowed any involvement in? Um. Facts have come out.
Former actor and present White House associate director of public engagement Kalpen Modi was directly involved in planning the controversial conference call hosted by a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) flack to encourage tax-supported artists to create propaganda for President Obama, according to emails obtained by Judicial Watch via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
As well, it happens that there's a shadow in the White House with veto power, and I don't mean BO or MO. They call her Valerie.
Simply put: Valerie Jarrett is a radical leftist with a rapacious appetite for power and wealth. In Richard Daley’s Chicago, she was the turn-to person for flexing muscles, padding pockets, and covering tracks. In Barack Obama’s Washington, she is the single advisor most responsible for both for originating and orchestrating his most brazen attempts to impose what many see as a socialist regime upon the American people.
But wait; there's more:
Are there cases of environmental pollution that are so egregious that the polluters should be punished as murderers?
Absolutely, says Obama EPA Administrator Lisa Heinzerling. Given her way, she would turn into murderers every manufacturer in America who had any inkling of an idea ahead of time that their actions had even the remotest statistical chance of causing a pollution-related death. And she is determined to give her view the force of law.
And while driving back from the grocery store, I caught a bit of the latest EPA shenanigans: apparently, they intend to impose regulations on dust. 10 micrograms per cubic meter? That idiocy would curtail all human activity - and that of most animals, as well. This idea is right up there with the one proposed a few years back in which it was suggested that the deer running loose in Portland's Bull Run watershed should be diapered.
