Let's call it Obamaganda.
More on Obama's NEA Propaganda scandal from BigGovernment.com, via a press release from Judicial Watch:
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it obtained more documents from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests related to the NEA’s controversial August 10 conference call encouraging artists to create work that promotes the Obama agenda. The documents consist of internal NEA emails indicating the idea for the NEA propaganda effort grew out the Obama campaign while also providing new details regarding White House involvement.Oh my. White House involvement! Whaddya know about that?

The Corporation for National and Community Service, which runs the AmeriCorps program, was represented during the call. The agencies and the White House were supposedly promoting the administration’s United We Serve political initiative. The emails include the actual conference call invitation, which details the controversial policy agenda that was being promoted.The Judicial Watch press release goes on to detail exactly how the White House was involved. At the heart of the scandal is a White House hipster operative named Yosi Sergant - the former director of the National Endowment for the Arts. Here's a sample email to Yosi:

July 28, 2009, 4:47 pm, Email from unknown Obama campaign activist to Yosi Sergant, former NEA Communications Director: “It was good to see you a few weeks ago in Washington. After our conversation, I thought it would be a really good idea to convene via a conference call some significant tastemakers/producers who can support United We Serve. As many of us contributed our services to the campaign, I would love to gather some of those folks to use their enthusiasm to get behind the President’s very important service initiative. Here are some people who I think should be part of the call. [Names redacted.]

And there's more. Try this email from an Obamaton working undercover in the corporate world. Seems this guy or gal had an irrestible urge to divert his employer's funds into some NEA-supported Obamaganda campaign:
August 6, 2009, 9:46 pm, Email from Unknown to Yosi Sergeant: “How can I get down Yosi? I’m working with [redacted] doing brand consulting and event production for [redacted]. Love to see how we could collaborate our corporate funds with what you’re working on.”Get down, indeed... But wait, here's the bombshell:

The documents also detail the use of the 9/11 anniversary as a vehicle for this political effort.And there you have it! the Obama Administration DID use 9/11 to advance their agenda. They called it a National Day of Service. Just ask Van Jones:
