I don’t think even FDR would have thought up something like that. Maybe Eleanor. Obama needs to forget Lincoln and build his inauguration around a Clement Atlee theme.

N% for the Arts.

We've had that here in Seattle, in the Peoples' Soviet of Washington (AKA "The EvergreeD State") for a long time.

Hasn't given us any great art (AFAIK) but it helps keep leftie "artists" (whose work you might not want to see) rolling in the dough.

Actually, the New Deal included quite a bit of funding for leftwing artists.

Interesting ...in tonight’s interview with Hannity, President Bush focused on the portrait of Lincoln in the Oval Office. W commented that his Dad and Lincoln were tops for him. Bet W had a similar discussion at the recent lunch with former President’s and Obama.

Hmmmm, how coincidental that Mr. Obama has decided to use Lincoln’s bible and mimic Lincoln’s lunch foods for the Inauguration .....can’t let W get too much credit or attention and definitely has to squash fact that Lincoln was a Republican.

Instead he is building it around a Joe Stalin theme.
