[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Steele is Neutral . The camera pans across a bucolic river and a sunny cornfield  an American flag flapping in the breeze  as narrator Michael Steele extols the freedom to dream and achieve. Then  with the Statue of Liberty sweeping into the shot  comes a dire warning that freedom is fragile: Democrats  he says  are "experimenting with America."
The camera zooms in on a bespectacled Steele  who asks viewers for donations. "Our freedom " he says with a smile. "It's worth fighting for."
The television advertisement  which aired in selected markets last month  is vintage Steele _ affable  charismatic and seizing the spotlight. But the ad's star is not running for anything. He's the chairman of the Republican National Committee  with a mandate to promote his party rather than himself.
Steele has put a public face on what had been largely a behind-the-scenes job  hoping to foster what he has called a "hip-hop" Republican renaissance. That high profile has been accompanied by a record of lavish spending and a string of gaffes  leading some party activists to complain that Steele revels in the perks of the office while neglecting some of the onerous work necessary to reclaim majorities in the House and Senate. This narrative grew more damaging last week with the disclosure that RNC staffers approved a $1 900 bill at a Hollywood nightclub that features topless dancers mimicking lesbian sex acts while wearing bondage gear.
Still there have been no calls for Steele's ouster  and some top Republicans have calculated that there is no upside in forcing out the first black chairman of a party largely dominated by white Southerners _ especially not while the GOP is winning under his watch. Steele claimed credit for recent Republican victories in Massachusetts  Virginia and New Jersey  telling reporters in January: "I won two governorships and a host of special elections."
Some Republicans question Steele's contribution to the party's recent successes. Nevertheless  "To the victor go the spoils " said Ron Kaufman  a former RNC chairman who worked against Steele in the leadership race. "Is the party better off today than the day Michael Steele got elected? It's very hard to say no  on almost every level. ... The bottom line is the coach gets the credit. They're paid to win  and we're winning."
To understand how this one-term lieutenant governor from Maryland became his party's national chairman  go back to the day he was selected  Jan. 30  2009. It was one week after Obama's historic inauguration  and many in the Republican Party were demoralized and seeking new direction.
In a crowded field of candidates for the chairmanship  Steele stood out _ a 6-foot-4  dapper  television-friendly former politician who spoke eloquently of expanding the party's base to include more blacks and Latinos. He offered a break with history as the first African American chairman of what he referred to over and over again as the "party of Lincoln."
"The party has really wallowed in the sewers of racial politics in the country " said NAACP President Ben Jealous  a longtime Steele friend. "Mike Steele is their chance to get back on higher ground."
Steele was distrustful of the staff he inherited and the Beltway strategists who cycled through the committee. "When they drink that Potomac River water a while  it changes them  and Michael has tried never to drink that water " said John Kane  a close friend who ran the Maryland Republican Party when Steele was lieutenant governor.
So less than a week after his election  Steele asked each staffer to submit a resignation letter. They were told the chairman would decide who could stay  former aides recalled. He let dozens go.
In his early months  Steele  who had been a Fox News Channel commentator  gave several interviews that led to damaging blunders. On CNN  Steele dismissed Rush Limbaugh  a popular voice for the right  as an "entertainer" and said Limbaugh's radio talk show can be "incendiary" and "ugly." He told GQ magazine that abortion was "an individual choice " going against his party's antiabortion platform.
Meanwhile  he was making cosmetic changes to the party operation. Steele disliked the dark-wood furnishings in his office  telling GQ it was "way too male for me." So he had the RNC spend $18 500 on a new wooden desk  armchairs  a couch and art for the walls  according to aides.
When Steele hit the road to meet local volunteers and operatives  he often brought a photographer to document it all. At party headquarters in Washington  the hallways were decorated with jumbo-size pictures of Steele shaking hands.
Steele declined several requests for interviews for this story because he believes he has received unfair scrutiny from The Washington Post dating to his political career in Maryland  his spokesman Doug Heye said. "Profile after profile after profile by The Washington Post that almost borders on stalking " Heye said. "At a certain point you just stop taking it seriously."
This report is based on Steele's public comments and interviews with more than three dozen RNC members  donors  party strategists and state officials  as well as Steele's friends  political opponents and current and former aides. They portrayed a complex man who  like most people  is a combination of traits  not 100 percent an industrious political strategist or a feckless self-promoter.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elliott Smith is Positive . Elliott Smith  lives at the collision of three different neighborhoods in Brooklyn  but the noise of the traffic and the blare of the salsa  rock and rap that battle for airspace on the street are being kept at bay. It's midafternoon  and  Smith  is tucked inside  his  favorite neighborhood bar  the kind of dark place where every patron sits alone and says little  the kind of place where  Smith  spends most of  his  days.
It's been a year and a half since  Smith  left Portland  Oregon  where  his  work with the band Heatmiser and  his  haunted solo albums had made  him  a star on the local music scene. In the spring of 1997  Heatmiser disbanded and  Smith  left for New York.  He 'd hoped the move would give  him  a sense of anonymity  but that goal was hampered when  his  song "Miss Misery" appeared on the Good Will Hunting soundtrack and was nominated for an Oscar. Soon  he  will have to contend with the attention brought by  his  new album  XO  which is  his  major-label debut and a lush departure from  his  usually spare offerings.
But  as today can attest  in New York you can always be alone in a crowd.  Smith  spend most of  his  days in coffee shops and bars  reading ( he  just finished Tolstoy's Resurrection) and composing songs in  his  head. "I write almost exclusively in public places " says  Smith   29. "I just think of stuff  chord changes and words. I know the bartenders  and they don't think it's weird if I ask to borrow a pen. "
Smith  smiles.  He  is shy  but  his  manner is sweet  not distant. Because  his  solo albums have been quiet singer-songwriter fare  there is a presumption that  Smith 's life is an open book. That is not the case.  Smith 's songs have always been less confession than collage â beautifully rendered glimpses of ugly realities  pieced together with little more than voice and guitar.
So when you ask  Smith  to tell  his  story   he  hesitates. When  he  finally begins   he  speaks as softly as  he  sings. As in  his  songs   Smith  is intelligent  direct  unsparing. But while  his  voice on record gives even  his  darkest lyrics a quiet strength  in conversation  his  tone betrays a sense of uncertainty. When grim details are spoken  not sung  there is nothing to cushion their impact.
"Most of the people I knew  their parents were divorced " says  Smith  of  his  childhood spent outside Dallas. "Or else their dad beat them with a pool cue. There was a guy in the neighborhood who shot my cat for getting into the garbage. He beat up on his kid  and then he shot my cat."
 Smith 's own parents divorced when he was a year old. His mother remarried when he was four  and his new home life was not happy. "There were family problems " says  Smith  succinctly. "It wasn't a good situation."
Outside the house   Smith  spent most of  his  time getting into fights. As  he  talks about them   he  touches  his  nose instinctively. "It's probably been broken more than once " says  Smith . "I have a bunch of scars. But I don't get into fights anymore."  He  shifts in  his  seat â  his  jeans too baggy  small T-shirt drooping off  him  â and it's impossible not to notice that  Smith  is more frail than anyone you'd expect to see in a bar fight.
"But sometimes it's the little guy who'll kick your ass " says  Smith . "Because  he 's been picked on to the point where  he  knows what to do."  He  pauses. "It's probably pretty easy to put together why somebody who grew up in Texas getting in fights a lot would not want to get up on the stage and start belting out songs at the top of their lungs. I've had enough of people yelling."
It's early evening in Manhattan  and  Smith  is polishing off another pint. It's a different day  a different borough  but the scene is familiar: a dark bar  twilight  the last drink before one too many. These are the things in  Smith 's life that' remain constant. Many' others have changed.
The strangest changes are that "Miss Misery" was nominated for an Oscar; that  on February 10th   Smith  performed the whispered tale of a broken relationship in front of 1 billion people; that  he  took a bow standing between Trisha Yearwood and Celine Dion.
"I had fully armored  myself  against having to be crushed by the presence of Celine Dion " .says Smith . "But she was the nicest person I've met in a while. Afterward I'd get these indie-rock kids saying  'I can't believe you had to hold Celine Dion's hand.' I said  'I liked holding her hand because she's a nice person. In fact  right now you're  being much more narrow-minded and shallow than she is. You're in a very backward position here. You should rethink it.'"
 Smith  gives his head a bewildered shake  then takes a long drink. Of all the transformations that he has been through lately  the most obvious is the level of scrutiny he is subjected to. And it's clear he is learning on the fly.
Smith's musical heroes are the Beatles  the Clash  Hank Williams and the Kinks. His greatest inspiration  for the breadth of his work  is Elvis Costello. On XO  for the first time in  Smith 's career  you can hear it all: the graceful folk he's perfected  elaborate orchestrations  an a cappella song  piano ballads  years of anger released in lilting harmony and a newfound. hopefulness couched in energized pop tunes. At times it sounds like a lost follow-up to Revolver.
"I love the Beatles â they're my favorite band â but I don't have any desire to cop the Beatles " says  Smith . "The reason they're my favorite band is because they went further with melody than any other band that I've ever come across."
 Smith  turns to his beer to escape the conversation for a moment  then smiles apologetically  as if he is the last person who should assess his work. Only recently did  Smith  even realize that people perceived  his  songs as bleak. "I didn't think of them that way "  he  says. "They made me happier. But now I would agree. The second record  especially  was really dark."

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Robert Mueller is Neutral . Itâs not too late for Congress to create such a commission  because the American public has lost faith in the objectivity of congressional committees. Many Americans  though certainly not all  have also lost faith in the investigation currently being conducted by  Special Counsel Robert Mueller .
 Mueller himself  continues to be held in high regard by most Americans  but many of  his  underlings are widely regarded as partisan.
 Mueller  did the right thing by reassigning FBI agent Peter Strozk after  his  anti-Trump communications with  his  girlfriend were revealed. But Strozk should have recused himself from the Clinton investigation based on his own knowledge of his bias against Trump.
When a president or a presidential candidate is being investigated  everyone involved in the investigation must be âCaesarâs wifeâ â above reproach. Several of  Mueller âs appointees do not pass that test.
