It doesn't seem fair to me to split this man's job between such disparate universes. Wouldn't it better to have one official solely working with the arts world and another solely working with disability issues? I read part of an article titled "The Creativity Stimulus" (http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090504/chang?rel=hp_picks) that suggests that the fact that President Obama appointed an arts and culture liasion indicates a move away from culture wars to more involvement in the arts. Perhaps this is the case, but I would still argue that there should be a separate arts-only liasion to the president.

"the job would mainly involve coordinating the activities of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Services ''

Does it seem odd to anyone else that the NEA isn't in this sentence?
