No hope and change for Mrs. Campbell

"We voted for you, we walked, we went to the parade, we stood freezing. Why?...Can you get this tape over to Obama and have him answer our questions? Why, sir, why?"

Mrs. Ingrid Campbell has a right to wonder why her daughter isn't afforded the same opportunity the president has for his daughters, the same opportunity being exercised by a large majority of Congress who is killing this proven successful program.

This is special interest politics at its worst. Obama promised "hope and change." He captured the faith of average folk like Ingrid Campbell. But he's not going to take on the NEA in order to help her child. It's politics as usual in Washington, Mrs. Campbell. I'm sorry you sacrificed so much for so little.
