This C-SPAN clip demonstrates that the feeling is mutual between the swooning chatterers over at MSNBC and the Obama Administration. In fact, we assume the ratings-challenged cable channel’s entire audience resides in the White House, since nobody else in the country watches it.
Thanks to C-SPAN, we can bring you the administration’s official video love letter to MSNBC via Kareem Dale, “Special Assistant to the President for Arts and Culture and a key White House advisor on disability policy.”
Pardon us for digressing for a moment. But we just need to point out that “Special Assistant to the President for the Arts and Culture” is a newly-created position at the White House. It must be one of those 600,000 new government jobs Obama promised. Yet another example of your stimulus dollars hard at work.
Anyway, back to the video mash note. At 1:54 in this video, Dale begins his remarks by saying, “At the White House, as we always like to say, ‘We love MSNBC.” The comment is not a surprise, but the awkward silence that follows it is.
Dale then talks about how important the arts are to this administration, yadda, yadda, change, change. Then, near the end of the clip Dale proclaims, “change most certainly is evident by the fact of the awarding of $50 million to the National Endowment for the Arts in the stimulus package. And that part of the stimulus is beginning to create jobs around the country…”
Evidently the only jobs being stimulated are more government jobs.

1. Why does the person over “Art and Culture” advise the President of the United States on Disability policy? I see he has a cane and, therefore, some type of disability, but what are his qualifications with regards to being an advisor on policy that will affect the whole country?
2. Why is he talking about MSNBC? Did they have something to do with this? I must have missed that part.
3. The stimulus is creating jobs? I haven’t heard of the stimulus creating jobs. I wonder could he be more specific – or could anyone be more specific? What jobs? Where are they. If they’re government jobs, then they’re costing the country money rather than actually stimulating the economy…but nobody in Washington, particularly the White House, seems to understand that little fact.
