So first, we have what is a brand new Obama Administrative Office, whose full title is the Office of Public Liaison & Intergovernmental Affairs.

Probably just another way to make the federal government even larger and spend more of our tax dollars.

Now the way I understand it, one of the reasons for this office is to allow the average American citizen direct input into the Obama administration. To find to what is on peoples minds so to speak.

From the Whitehouse.Gov page:

"OPL-IGA takes the Administration out of Washington and into communities across America, stimulating honest dialogue and ensuring that America's citizens and their elected officials have a government that works effectively for them and with them."

Yeah, right, sure. I'd have to say that is working really well so far judging from all the negative comments and stories about Obama and Washington being 'out of touch' with the American People.

Especially since April 15^th, there are supposed to be hundreds of Protesting Tea Parties all across the country, for the express purpose of letting the federal government understand they are NOT listening to us.

Fellow Chicago lawyers and friends of President Obama, Valerie Jarrett and Michael Strautmanis, will act, respectively, as Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff of this new office.

LOL, damn, must be nice to be one of Obama's friends. He can make up a whole new administrative office to put you to work at. And give ya a fancy title, like Chief of Staff of the Office of Public Liaison & Intergovernmental Affairs.

Better have plenty of room on those new business cards.

Now one thing I have no understanding of, besides why our tax dollars is going to fund this bullcrap office in the first place, is why Obama has also hired for that that office, actor Kal Penn as a liaison between President Obama's administration and arts groups (Hollywood).

What the hell for? It's bad enough Messiah Obama is expanding the size of the federal government past anything ever envisioned by any president, much less our Founding Fathers, who believed in LIMITED government.

But why does this Messiah need a liaison between his administration and Hollyweird.

According to the White House, Mr. Penn is joining the staff as the Arts Liaison Director in the Office of Public Liaison. His role will be to connect Mr. Obama with arts and entertainment groups.

Mr. Penn backed Mr. Obama during the campaign, so he's getting a government job also. Obama keeps this up, and pretty soon, 52% of the voters are gonna be working for the Obama administration. Probably means the other 48% of the voters are gonna have to pay more in taxes to pay for this larger 'government work force'.

But it still doesn't explain WHY Obama needs a liaison between him and the arts groups.

There is no reasonable rationale for having a political liaison to Hollywood. No one in Hollywood cares enough to actually learn about a political situation before preaching about it to thousands of idiotic fans that accepts everything they hear from celebrities as gospel. This move just exemplifies Obama's commitment to making America dumber.

Not to mention of course, hiring someone who specializes in "stoner" movies. That should help BO's image

Either way, this entire Office of Public Liaison & Intergovernmental Affairs bullcrap office, supposedly for the average American Citizen to have a voice in government affairs, seems like nothing more than a cheap gimmick to keep people thinking they have a voice in government when it is painfully obvious, they do not have.

Not to mention, IF one of the reasons for this so-called Office of Public Liaison, is gonna be in charge of "capturing what's on people's minds and measuring what concerns most people", then whoever does that job has the capacity to filter out whatever responses from the public they seek to retain from the Office of Public Liaison. Censorship is alive and well in America.

Which still does not explain the 'Arts Director' job, but guess I just don't 'understand government.'
