NEA Vomit Alert

Rocco Landesman is President Obama's handpicked chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. Last week he gave the note address to the 2009 Grantmakers in the Arts Conference:

"This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln. If you accept the premise, and I do, that the United States is the most powerful country in the world, then Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar. That has to be good for American artists."

Wow!
