The American job market sure is great for sign makers lately. Especially for people who make signs touting the excellent job the Obama Administration did with the Stimulus Bill and unemployment.

ABC News reports:

As the midterm election season approaches, new road signs are popping up everywhere – millions of dollars worth of signs touting “The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act” and reminding passers-by that the program is “Putting America Back to Work.”

On the road leading to Dulles Airport outside Washington, DC there’s a 10′ x 11′ road sign touting a runway improvement project funded by the federal stimulus. The project cost nearly $15 million and has created 17 jobs, according to recovery.gov.

However, there’s another number that caught the eye of ABC News: $10,000. That’s how much money the Washington Airports Authority tells ABC News it spent to make and install the sign – a single sign – announcing that the project is “Funded by The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act” and is “Putting America Back to Work.” The money for the sign was taken out of the budget for the runway improvement project.

Art imitates life…

Art teacher Brittany Williamson said her student simply wanted to “get a reaction” with his painting that depicted President Barack Obama with a hammer and sickle symbolizing communism.

“That’s the whole purpose of art — to get a reaction,” Williamson said.

Although Williamson thought the Hallsville High School sophomore’s painting was “an amazing piece,” it received not-so-amazing critiques from some school staff and visitors who complained to Williamson and Superintendent John Robertson. The painting was taken down Monday after being displayed for nearly two weeks.

SNIP

Williamson has taught art at Hallsville High School for eight years. Even though she was disappointed that the painting was taken down, she said the issue served as “a good learning experience” for staff and students. Some students, she said, didn’t understand why the symbol was controversial.

“Everyone was like, ‘Why is it so wrong? Because it’s pink?’ ” Williamson said of the painting. “I think even some adults didn’t understand it.”

“Obama says everyone needs
Health coverage in America now.
We need to insure those 47 million
But the government doesn’t know how.”

The children in this video are completely innocent and frankly, their performance is awesome!

The point is that they are being used for blatant political purposes.

If these children, or any children, appeared on a “news” network to sing about the agenda of George W. Bush or even Bill Clinton, it would have been rightly treated by the media as an outrageous scandal. Welcome to the age of “change.”

Welcome to the age of Obama.

From the department of “You’re kidding, right?”

Time Magazine writes:

“Calling ‘Em Out: The White House Takes on the Press”

“The take-no-prisoners turn has come as a surprise to some in the press, considering the largely favorable coverage that candidate Obama received last fall and given the President’s vows to lower the rhetorical temperature in Washington and not pay attention to cable hyperbole. Instead, the White House blog now issues regular denunciations of the Administration’s critics, including a recent post that announced “Fox lies” and suggested that the cable network was unpatriotic for criticizing Obama’s 2016 Olympics effort.”

To be fair, as of November of 2008, Obama had only been on the cover of Time Magazine 23 times.

The editor of Newsweek called Obama “God” last June but that doesn’t count because he said “sort of.”

The Obama Administration saying they’re “taking on the media” is like the Beatles saying they’re “taking on crazed teenyboppers.”

Please.

Yosi Sergant, the former Communications Director at the National Endowment for the Arts has resigned.

Talking Points Memo, a lefty Obama worshiping blog is suddenly concerned about the political race card. Why? Because the black man they perceive to be playing said card is Republican Chairman Michael Steele.

You see, it’s only racism when Conservatives/Republicans/Libertarians point out the hypocrisy of the left.

While I’m on this thread, let me point out that a genius from the Huffington Post named Matt Osborne penned a piece today which downplays Obama’s propaganda partnership with the NEA.

“Nevertheless, Courrielche argues that since art groups accept grants from the NEA, the NEA is “tainting the creative process by encouraging the art community to address highly controversial political issues.” Which is odd, since there’s nothing controversial about the 9/11 Day of Service — unless, of course, you happen to be a member of the Ayn Rand cult, or you think the day would best be used to inspire hatred and fear of brown people.”

Hatred and fear of “brown people?”

You scumbag. You hateful, fear politicking, scumbag.

You sir, are the racist. You sir, are the one who is trying to inspire fear and hatred based solely on race and purely for the furtherance of a political agenda. It is disgusting and you should be ashamed.

Mr. Osborne mentions in his bio: Matt Osborne has been blogging forever but has yet to see his first check from George Soros. Let me explain that for you Matt… You see the capitalist who owns the Huffington Post is keeping all of the capital for herself.

And by the way, I assume by the “Ayn Rand Cult” remark, that you were referring to Libertarians since you linked the term to Reason Magazine. I find it ironic when Obama supporters talk about “cults.”

They say a picture is worth a thousand Obots words.

Apparently, Conservatives have no right to be outraged over Obama’s attempt to propagandize the National Endowment for the Arts because George W. Bush created the Faith Based Initiatives Program.

Pay no mind to the fact that Obama has expanded Bush’s Faith Based Initiatives Program.

Move along folks, nothing to see here.

The title of this post isn’t true unless you change “Bush” to “Obama” and change “Neocon” to “Progressive.”

The National Endowment for the Arts is being used to create taxpayer funded propaganda to further the agenda of the Obama Administration. Once again, Andrew Breitbart delivers. Patrick Courrielche, a blogger at Big Hollywood has an amazing new report today. This must-read includes explosive audio and you can open it by clicking the quote below.

“The NEA and the White House did encourage a handpicked, pro-Obama arts group to address politically controversial issues under contentious national debate. That fact is irrefutable.”

One of the White House operatives involved in this NEA debacle is a woman named Buffy Wicks. She works for Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett and guess what… She has ties to ACORN.

“BigGovernment.com continues to wake-up America to Obama Administration relationships with ACORN and Big Labor.  BigGov’s  latest story highlights Presidential Advisor Valerie Jarrett’s crew member Buffy Wicks who is the former political director of forced union dues financed WakeupWalmart.com”

Dan Savage is the editor of the alternative Seattle newspaper “The Stranger.” He is gay and he has been rightly critical of Obama’s lack of support for gay marriage.

However, in the following clip, as a guest on the Keith Olbermann show, he goes over the top. He claims that Republicans want Obama to get killed. This is outrageous on so many levels. Leave out the fact that Glenn Beck is a Libertarian, NOT a Republican. At least get your facts “straight” Dan. Furthermore, Conservatives Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Bachman have never called for violence against President Obama.

Conservatives respect and revere the office of the President, even if they disagree with the policies of the man who holds the office. There has NEVER been a case of a President of the United States killed by a Conservative.

In fact, EVERY single assault on the President of the United States has been perpetrated by a radical LEFTIST from John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald.

Maybe Dan Savage should spend a few minutes reading American history rather than trying to re-write it.

EXIT QUESTION: Who is it on the right who is trying to enforce religious views on anyone? Note to Dan Savage: The “Moral Majority” ended in the 1980′s.

The only person I know who is appealing to religious communities is OBAMA! It is Obama who is reaching out to religious leaders in an attempt to push his own agenda.

If Dan Savage has such a problem with politicians using religion to push personal politics, he might want to start with the President for whom he’s so desperately concerned.

We scooped Glenn Beck on this last week. The reason we were able to do so is the guest he is featuring in this clip, a filmmaker who blogs at Big Hollywood named Patrick Courrielche.

Last week, Courrielche wrote a story where he detailed a creepy conference call with the NEA during which government officials were encouraging artists to use their skills to promote the Obama agenda.

The NEA is FTFO (freaking the fuck out) because Courrielche recorded the call and played excerpts of it on Glenn Beck today. The NEA is actually denying the facts now. Courrielche has written a new follow-up piece you should read called UPDATE: What the NEA Says Vs. Documented Facts. The piece contains screen captures of official emails and new art propaganda created under the new “plan.”

Here is Courrielche on Glenn Beck today:
