Don’t overstep when you are grinding your heels into the backs of the citizenry.

Pure coincidence they looked to Obama’s personal minister of propaganda, Shepard Fairey.

Hell no........that call was ALL about pushing Obama’s so-called health care reform, not some public service agenda. It was a blatant attempt at setting up a de facto propaganda arm for the Obama administration, and why people aren’t standing in front of judges while handcuffed right now is beyond me.

The Obama Administration thinks there is a reason to fund political art at the same time they want to ID the “Why So Socialist” Joker Obama poster artist who worked out of his own pocketbook.

What they’re saying is: “Don’t embarrass the MSM by making it so obvious that they cannot explain how they missed a payof- a grant to friends.”

Believe it or not, the New York Times just posted this AP story.

And to think yesterday I brought it to their attention in a letter to the Editor. I guess they must have been listening!

White House to agencies: Don't overstep on grants
