Obama White House is spending $50k of your money to prove you're a racist for opposing the Obama White House (health care, racism)

What is the title of the work?

I couldn't find that either. Just an opinion piece by someone who already reached a conclusion on the whole thing.

Kind of the Soviet Union. What is the next step going to be? Is it that anyone who opposes the president's POLICIES is going to be imprisoned?

Are we becoming a communist country?

Just more proof that Obama and his minions have lost all touch with reality.

How is that different than being labeled "UNPATRIOTIC" for not supporting the war?

Pardon me, I meant the abstract for the work, from the NSF:

“This research project attempts to provide further evidence for this Obama-induced racialization by pinpointing the extent that health-care opinions are influenced by racial attitudes and determining Obama’s causal role in racializing public opinion about a policy that has no manifest racial content."

As a researcher who regularly publishes papers, it's well known that abstract provides much more insight to a paper than the title ever could.

But it doesn't tell the conclusion of the study, which is what the article and the OP implied.

Even the use of "Obama White House" in the OP is wrong, since the white house has nothing to do with what projects are granted by the NSF.

The fact that an NSF study is funding a study such as this is ridiculous at best. That's my gripe.

This is true, but the problem is that the researcher is politically motivated and doing "research" on such a topic. A Krugman-lite, if you will.

It's a shame but I think we need to focus more on the real money wasters more than how much his airforce 1 flights cost etc. Like unfunded entitlements, military spending, agro subsidies. Also our crazy free trade policies and subsequent trade deficit. Though we shouldn't ignore the small things I suppose.
