Gawker can’t help but facepalm at Macklemore’s inclusion in president’s weekly address

President Obama: Don't do drugs or you'll end up like Macklemore https://t.co/20mfJkiNmF pic.twitter.com/XXLbk7h0Nj

Twitchy: Presidential candidate John Kerry told an MTV audience in 2004 that he is “fascinated by rap and by hip-hop,” further advising the young crowd, “You’d better listen to it pretty carefully, ’cause it’s important.”

Kerry must be kicking himself, then, to have learned he’s missed yet another opportunity to hang with a famous rapper. As Twitchy reported, President Obama in April quietly summoned an A-list of rappers to the White House to enlist as advisors in his criminal justice reform effort. And now, having added tackling the opioid and heroin epidemic to his to-do list, Obama has tapped Macklemore in a joint educational effort with MTV.

Even Gawker couldn’t help but react with snark to Macklemore’s appearance in the president’s weekly address. more

SNIP: Hey, wasn’t Obama saying something about the presidency not being a reality show or something?

I never heard of Macklemore until now. I guess that makes me uncool!

“Joint educational effort”?
Damn, they will be eating Cheetos and giggling all night. They’ll never get anything done.
