New GSA Video demonstrates excesses and Racism

A video posted on Washington Wire, purportedly shows the excesses of of the Government Services Agency who paid for the video's production. At about the two minute mark, the video shows the tag ARRA (American Reinvestment and Recovery Act) as a headline, followed by two minorities receiving cash from the lead in the video. The third character is a middle-aged white male who is turned down for cash by the singer.

The point is subtle, but it creates the perception that the ARRA was only for minorities. It further demonstrates the careless disregard for the tax payor dollars the federal government collects for the "benefit" of the people.

I would ask that everyone who reads this take the time to ask their representatives to investigate the development of this scripted video to see if their was an overt attempt to promote this video and the covered programs as for minorities.
