And this
We can't even keep up.
Drawing the NEA into an Obama-boosting project
"may well have been illegal. Public funds are not supposed to be expended to support partisan projects. Beyond that, it is unconstitutional to grant or deny federal funds on the basis of the recipient's political actions or opinions."
Another problem with Obama
The more I think about it, the more the townhall anti-Obama anger isn't explained completely by the issues (sorry, Frank ). There's also something about Obama himself-. But that something (or the main something) isn't his race. It's that he's a relative newcomer, as Presidents go--an unknown quantity, an enigma, with a short track record and patches of that record left fuzzy.
At least one other problem: he's an enigma whose party is being run by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. I wouldn't trust George Washington as president if he had a Congress like this one.
The sad part is, he could have been, like Clinton, a fairly successful moderate, if facing as GOP or moderate Dem Congress (if the latter is possible.) Whether his party pulled him left is perhaps a question mark, although with every Van Jones the evidence mounts that he was far left himself.
