Obama official Mark Lloyd, the new Associate General Counsel and Chief Diversity Officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has been openly critical of private media companies in Venezuela, where Lloyd believes that Marxist ruler Hugo Chavez is trying to implement a popular democracy.

Lloyd, who worked as a broadcast journalist at NBC and CNN, has come under fire from Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck and Seton Motley of the Media Research Center for his stance.

At the FCC, Lloyd is in a position to try to influence and control media content by making statements and issuing directives on media “diversity” and fairness.

Folks, this is getting a bit frightening. This ain’t the America I grew up in.

It’s time to take back the country.

"Folks, this is getting a bit frightening. This ain’t the America I grew up in."

A bit frightening? This entire administration has got to go soon.

Another bio for Lloyd says that “He has also served as a consultant to the Clinton White House, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Open Society Institute and the Smithsonian Institution.” The Open Society Institute is funded by billionaire George Soros.

Ah, yes, the MacArthur Foundation -- major contributor/collaboratror in the Chicago Annenberg Challenge multi-million dollar educational boondoggle,  masterminded by Bill Ayers with BO as the first Chairman of the BOD. 

The MacArthur Foundation was also the source of funding for the re-gentrification of domestic terrorist Bernardine Dohrn (wife of Bill Ayers) as a champion of  "oppressed" criminal youth. The Foundation  funded a project with Northwestern University's law school to reform Chicago's juvenile courts, with Dohrn at the helm, in the early '90's, and the program, and Dohrn, are still there.
