This is the stuff of royalty. Barry and Michelle would be best kept as our putative king and queen. They could dine on pheasant, hold command performances, knight and dub their patrons, live their lavish, princely lives on the dole and almost everyone would be satisfied. Just keep them out of politics and the common weal.

If you are talking about Banda, with the tubas, I so agree.

I'm waiting for Heavy Metal night before watching!

That's being held in the White House parking lot.

But it would be nice to see Ozzy at the Obama White House.

George Bush to sup with Ozzy| News | This is London(Wednesday 07.10.09)

George Bush has invited Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne to dinner at the White House. The US President is a fan of the MTV docusoap The Osbournes, which takes viewers into the rock star's Beverly Hills mansion. "We have been invited to the White House to have dinner with the President, " said Osbourne. "I don't know why that is. I thought I'd be on a wanted poster up on the wall, not invited to his place for tea..."

Remember during the campaign? He couldn’t draw a crowd without having some free concerts to warm the crowd up first and bring out the masses?

Well his tv ratings have also slipped so The Obama Show needs more musical guests.

God - I don't know what it is, but the rhythm is the same - bom, bom, bom, bombombombombom, bom, bom, bom, bombombombombom...

Everytime I hear it, I half expect to see elephants thundering down my road followed by dudes with big, floppy shoes juggling bowling pins.

But is there a tuba? There are several different kinds of Mexican music. I like Norteño (accordion), I like mariachi, I like some rock en espanol (Mana), I like Son, I like cumbia, but I can’t take Banda with the tubas. Makes me want to scream. It is the music that has taken over LA.

I’m sorry, this is probably the one thing that they’ve done (mostly Michelle) that I don’t have a problem with. They’ve had classical, jazz, bluegrass, now Latin. I can’t wait for the blues!

How about an "Afghanistan Surge Plan" Night instead, you incompetent puppet?

Poser fraud commie elitist affirmative-action crypto-faggot is gonna eat wagyu beef fajitas while more of our heroes die in the sand.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

The next installment of the popular MTV reality series, titled, “Real World Washington DC, Latino White House”, is being filmed that night. Obama treats the office of the Presidency like a reality TV Show, posing for cameras and hobnobbing with celebrities while our troops are in harms way.

Actually being POTUS and making tough life and death decisions is not nearly as fun as hanging with Gloria Estevan, Jimmy Smits, etc.

That's what I expected on tv when Obama called a joint session of Congress to sell Obamacare.

I no going to bomba
I no going to bomba
Bunkers in Iran
Schmooze them if I can
That’s the current plan

Won’t support the Israelis
Though the threat grows more daily
And they make plans
Give Peace a Chance
Give Peace a Chance

No, no bomba!
No, no bomba!
No, no bomba!

Have you seen the commercials he’s made for the new George Lopez show? The man has no concept of the dignity of the office of POTUS. None!

OBAMA has made commercials for the George Lopez show???

Dumb @ss has time for this and not for our Generals trying to win a war. I loathe this man and his ilk more and more everyday.
