The Obama Administration is on record co-opting the National Endowment For The Arts to serve as the State Propaganda office for Obama’s policies.

People like Rocco Landesman could give bootlickers and sychophants a bad name.

Forget Perot’s “Sucking sound of jobs going south”.
Now we get the sucking sound of a commie artist praising the Obamassiah. All this on our tax dollars, no less.
