New info has emerged on the intermingling of The National Endowment for the Arts, non profit and the Obama administration. The Admin is/was engaged in using or atleast affecting coordination of political messaging by way of the NEA. Before it was stated that on lone individual was making inapropriate communications between non profit and the Obama admin. Now it is revealed that it is a much more cooperative venture:

...In an email dated July 30, 2009, Nellie Abernathy, a representative of the federal program United We Serve, sent an email to Sergant to inquire of his interest in attending a meeting regarding 9/11 events – the culmination day of the United We Serve campaign. In the email Abernathy states (emphasis added):



“Just got off the phone with [redacted]. They’re interested in helping produce some 9/11 events and will be in DC next week. Any chance you could join us for a meeting Tuesday morning? Or does this fall into that sketchy grey we might get arrested area?�



Sergant responded, “I’d love to.�.....

I never understood why they felt the need to get directly involved with turning the NEA into a active campaign lobby for the liberals. It's not like they weren't already headed down that road on their own. Maybe they just felt that the NEA was already so radically liberal that no one would care if the administration started taking a direct role in their partisan campaigning.

Obama is like a pariah on the hunt for any organization that is liberal based to charge in and bring it into the Obama fold to use as a pawn.
