Obama's Enemies List: A Growing List of Obama's Enemies

At the blog for the Nevada Policy Research Institute, it is revealed today that a woman named Loretta Harper was recently chosen to be a national co-chair of Obama’s re-election campaign. Why is this important? Because in 2008, Harper used her position at a Nevada high school to award extra credit to students who volunteered for Obama . The NVPR blog archly wonders if 2012 will bring similar efforts nationwide: No word on [whether] Harper, who makes $74,000 a year plus benefits, plans to expand outreach “efforts” like this nationwide now that she’s a co-chair of Obama’s re-election campaign, but if you’ve got “free labor” available, why not take advantage? Never mind that Nevada’s high school graduation rate currently sits under 45 percent, liberals have a president to elect. We all have to get our priorities straight now, people. Your tax dollars hard at work, re-electing the Democrat. P.S. This news came originally from the Las Vegas Review-Journal . But that paper buried the lede, and also has a habit of facilitating lawsuits against bloggers for fair use quotes . So they get no quote and no link. Thanks to Victor Joecks of the Nevada Policy Research Institute for the hat tip. UPDATE: Victor has now spoken with Loretta Harper and has updated his post to reflect the following: The students actually got class credit in 2008, and not merely “extra credit” as the Las Vegas Review-Journal had claimed. The headline of this post has been changed accordingly. Harper admits she approached children (as well as vice versa) about volunteering for Obama. She claims she would also give credit to students for volunteering for Republicans but “no students have asked her about that.” (Gee, I wonder why not? Could it have anything to do with her very public pro-Obama activism? Nah, that couldn’t be it.) She is indeed planning to have students volunteer for Obama for class credit again this year. This is a big story, folks. Expect to see much more on this. Nice job by Victor Joecks.
