Comics In Servitude to Obama

“Last Week the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) posted a press release informing the world that ‘from October 19-25, more than 60 network TV shows [will] spotlight the power and personal benefits of service,’” so wrote John Nolte last week. The EIF later denied Obama had anything to do with this even though the Administration has been pushing service as one of their agendas, even enlisting Michelle Obama as a spokesperson.
