I give President Obama, you and your Department very high marks for finally treating the Great Lakes as an entire ecosystem.

If any agency is seen as an extension of either political party, it is not good for the agency.

To me, this sounds ACORN-esque. And I would prefer that the Department think about...we need people on the ground with money to transform the communities.

Leadership, in my mind--and, again, this isn't directed at you; it is directed at the entire administration--leadership, in my mind, is having an opinion.
