President Barack Obama has established a new staff position in his White House with the task of overseeing arts and culture, Kareem Dale. Dale, a partially-blind lawyer previously served as national disability director for Obama's campaign and served on the arts policy committee for Obama in Illinois.
No details have been provided about the specific job duties as of yet, but it's been described as "a big step forward in terms of connecting cultural and goverment with mainstream administration policy."

Maybe Kareem helped Obambi pick out DVDs for the British Prime Minister? One partially blind guy to another?
Oh, this is such crap. During the Grammy’s (yeah, I’m a music fan) the head guy stood up and gave a speech about how we need an arts czar. Governmentalize the arts. THAT always works well. Ask Solzhentisyn.
Oh, I am so mad.
And remember the Tribble episode of Star Trek? How can Obama just keep CREATING more government unchecked?
That’s pretty discriminatory of you...... maybe the “art” is done in Braille.... /s

What the eff happened to the balance of powers? Me thinks our Founding Daddies seriously screwed up!
And what makes me suspect that "Kareem" will have little time for America's bedrock culture, the English speaking political ethos and western Christian values that made America a light unto the peoples of he world?

Huh? Like I have always wanted this connection. /s
The inmates are running the asylum!
OK, this crack me up. Is this guy a graffiti artist?
To appreciate art, one has to SEE it fully! With his half vision, it will lead to a lot of misinterpretation.
What are this guy's Art credentials? What art school did he study at or graduate from? any degrees?
Is this guy going to dictate to us what we can and cannot paint? What we can listen to?
How's his hearing?
The way to subvert this from our point of view, and I’m quite serious, is to demand that he leans on Hollywood for promoting violence and pornography (which covers pretty much 100% of all productions.)
Obama will now have his own Leni Riefenstahl, and we’ll all pay for his conceit.
“a big step forward in terms of connecting cultural and goverment with mainstream administration policy.”
The triumph of the will.i.ams.
Kareem.
LMAO. How about Kripsy Kareem.
Now, fixed.
Hey, this lame puke is going to raise gang grafitti, feces painting, pornographic performance art, and grillz crafting to the status of high art, worthy of government grants and other taxpayer means of funding. What the f—k, he doesn’t have to see it anyway!
Kareem Potatohead
Maybe he can give Michelle some fashion tips.
Unfortunately the US Constitution requires the federal government to fund the arts. What "art" is can be argued.
Article I Section 8 - Powers of Congress To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
Oooops! I should not have said “fund” the arts.
Doesn’t he have any kind of constraint? He’s running amok here with all these new positions. For one thing, where is the money coming from? (Never mind, I know the answer to that!) And, is there no limit to the number of people he can put on the government payroll? Surely he doesn’t have the authority to do all this. He’s acting more and more like a dictator all the time.
