Wow, what a surprise. Another black guy with a muslim name!
More money for BS projects.
Government funded hip hop
And why does the guy need to be an attorney?
We are so screwed
Can’t have any more of those pictures of Mohammed floating around, now can we?
Guessing he will police the arts to keep them ‘socially acceptable’. or something like that.
Unbelievable.

ok...partially blind guy for the arts. Obama is a genius!
LOL just what we need.
And almost blind - guess he won’t know much about how to establish policy for the visual arts. Guess he can just say “if it offends 90 percent of Americans, it’s great art.”
AKA Minister of Propaganda.
We don’t.
$$$$$$$$$
Another office.

Are we going to get a ‘Czar for Toilet Anal Retentiveness’?
“Dale, a partially-blind lawyer ...”
Well, he’s at least as qualified for the post as the other cabinet members are for theirs! /s
In other words, somebody who can appreciate modern art.
Maybe we will be so lucky as to get state opera houses where The Marriage of Figaro is performed by an all nude cast wearing Nixon masks, just like what the German Minister of Culture pays for.
The symbolism is perfect, but due to political correctness cannot be pointed out by anyone in public!
Don’t worry. This does not concern those clinging to God and guns. This is for the new intillegencia. You know, the more privileged members of the ruling class.
Kareem Magoo?
