Given a document, an entity and its sentiment towards the entity, verify if it is the correct sentiment towards the entity. Answer should be yes or no. Note that URLs in the text have been replaced with [Link].
One example: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bill Clinton is Positive . Bill Clinton knows how to win friends and influence people. The former president is a master of reinvention — and the same talents that guided him into office have propelled him, more recently, into the stratosphere of Internet stardom.
Solution is here: yes
Explanation: Here the author of the document praises Bill for this ability to win friends. Hence the sentiment should be Positive and the answer is yes.

Now, solve this: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Steele is Negative . 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.
Solution:
no
