Obama nixes twerking at final White House musical event

Breitbart-

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said he’s sad that one of his and the first lady’s favorite traditions, musical night at the White House, ended Friday.

Obama and his wife, Michelle, have reserved certain evenings over the past eight years to celebrate music that has helped shape America. They held big blowout concerts spotlighting classic, country, blues, Broadway, gospel, Motown, Latin and jazz either inside the White House or out on the lawn.

The tradition ended Friday as Obama kicked off his final musical night, BET’s “Love and Happiness” event in a tent on the South Lawn.

He joked that he wouldn’t be singing any Al Green — despite the concert title. When Obama sang the opening lines of Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” at a fundraiser at Harlem’s Apollo Theater, the video went viral.

“We’ve had Bob Dylan and we’ve had Jennifer Hudson. Gloria Estefan and Los Lobos. Aretha, Patti, Smokey,” Obama said to open the show. “I’ve had Paul McCartney singing ‘Michelle’ to Michelle and Stevie singing ‘Happy Birthday.’”

  1. Old two-face trying to distance himself from The nastiness of his favorites, filthy lyrics, gestures, and twerking? I’m shocked. He’s still trying to change husband legacy of destruction.

  2. It’s been one big fucking party for the asshole. Why in the world is it the business of the president to have music nights? His GD vacas, Michelle’s separate vacas, using AF1 for campaigning, what, 500 rounds of golf!.

    I guess we should be thankful that he isn’t spending all of his time in the Oval Office-record debt, record unemployment, race riots, the brink of war in a half dozen spots, a nuked up Iran, health care costs over the moon, Kagan & Sotomayor(oh man, just 1 more, REgressives can just taste it, just 1 more and we’re done). Maybe if he had played 800 rounds, things would be bearable?

  3. I have interesting fantasies – and the one I’m having right now is the aftermath of Barky’s passing away from a perforated bowel and darkies of all colors are mourning together for one last Music Night at the White Hut. The keynote song would be Massa’s in de Cold, Cold Ground. They don’t write ’em like this anymore!

    Massa’s in de Cold, Cold Ground
    (Stephen Foster)

    Round de meadows am a-ringing
    De dark-eyes’ mournful song,
    While de mocking bird am singing,
    Happy as de day am long.

    Where de ivy am a-creeping,
    O’er de grassy mound,
    Dare old massa am a-sleeping,
    Sleeping in de cold, cold ground.

    CHO: Down in de cornfield
    Hear dat mournful sound:
    All de dark-eyes am a-weeping,
    Massa’s in de cold, cold ground.

    When de autumn leaves were falling,
    When de days were cold,
    ‘Twas hard to hear old massa calling,
    Cayse he was so weak and old.

    Now de orange trees am blooming,
    On de sandy shore,
    Now de summer days am coming,
    Massa nebber calls no more.

    Massa make de dark-eyes love him,
    Cayse he was so kind,
    Now, dey sadly weep above him,
    Mourning cayse he leave dem behind.

    I cannot work before tomorrow,
    Cayse de teardrop flow,
    I try to drive away my sorrow,
    Pickin’ on de old banjo.

  4. Wow! Racist much? Comments here are usually based on content and reflect objective analysis of the, admittedly worthless, narcissistic jerk, but more than usual are pretty prejudiced (and plain wrong)….. Don’t let the dirt ball drag you down to his sneering, lying level.
