WASHINGTON (AP) — Country music gets its due at the Obama White House next week.

The Obamas will play host to a string of country stars — legendary and contemporary — Monday at their seventh “In Performance at the White House” program.

Some of the performers also will take part in an afternoon workshop at the White House for 120 local students about the history of country music and its cultural significance.

I suppose that this sorry spectacle is intended to rally white southern support.

[mkmensinger]

I’m betting Hank Williams Jr won’t be there.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Votes, votes, votes, votes, votes, votes, votes, votes.

Where’s the next ‘voter block’ going to be? ‘Dog lovers’? No, I’m not kidding.

Pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stboz]

Got to think this IS how Hussein sees whitey....hillbillies all.

Freekin' racist.

[Pelham]

Zero is gettin in touch with his inner redneck.

[cripplecreek]

Which country?

[Chickensoup]

I hope his wife doesnt wear Daisy Dukes.

[Charles Martel]

I suppose that this sorry spectacle is intended to rally white southern support.

I wonder if Andy Griffith will be making an appearance.

[hummingbird]

Will there them country folk be able to bring their guns and religion?/sarc

Country folk are kinda’ like that.

[Pelham]

“I hope his wife doesnt wear Daisy Dukes.”

So does Zero...

[mardi59]

Howdy Doody and Buffalo (Michelle) Bob are going to have a great time. Square dancing called by Jed Biden, Hilly Mae will cook the grits and hocks and Revrum Jethro Jackson will say Grace.

All this to be followed by Banker Reid and his trusty secretary Nancy covering the room for donations.

[marygam]

And if you check the guest list you will have a good laugh. Lyle Lovett and James Taylor to name a few. It’s pathetic! LOL! Bunch of Lefties that pass themselves off as country.

[tophat9000]

I hope his wife doesnt wear Daisy Dukes.

I just through-up in my mouth...thanks...give a barf alert next time

[Neverforget01]

Darius Rucker (aka Hootie of Hootie and the Blowfish) is certainly questionable as authentic country.

[ColdOne]

Laser like on the economy I see.

[hummingbird]

Inner Redneck!? I’m glad to hear that.

Cracker gets so tiresome sometimes when filling out forms, like that 1040.

Now I have something to fall back on.

[ColdOne]

I was just thinking the same thing. Who is left he needs to pander to.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Barack Obama goes yeehaw. What will they think of next.

[mrsmith]

Well, this will give the moocher a chance to boo back!

Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be commies...

[cripplecreek]

They’s gonna be a ho down at the White house.

[mass55th]

"I hope his wife doesnt wear Daisy Dukes."

I can't wait to see the pics of her from the fest. What in the world will she wear? She'll be totally miserable, and it will show.

[peggybac]

Where did you see the guest list?? I’d love to know who all is attending.

[hummingbird]

Hope those country folk hide the stills.

Also hope they can't get anyone. Then they would probably appoint a “Country Music” tsar.

Can you just see some regulations being written up even now!

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

It certainly won’t be the first ho that’s been down there.

[Tagurit]

Will the Secret Service be searching for Manchelle when they hear there’s a ho down?

[Revolting cat!]

for 120 local students about the history of country music and its cultural significance

Oh yeah, the local D.C. students are gonna dig country music so much their pants will fall even below the standard knee level, fo shizzle mah nizzle!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I hope his wife doesnt wear Daisy Dukes.

LMAO

They must be pretty tired from all their trips and the races, now they get free entertainment, It’s good to be king.
I hope they can get rested up for their Hawaiian Christmas.

Weare trillions in debt, people don’t have jobs,and these two clowns are traveling around like they own the world.

[adorno]

I’m sure the Dixie Chicks will be there. That’s their hero in the White House.

[flaglady47]

“I hope his wife doesnt wear Daisy Dukes.”

Size 3X.

[Son House]

This funk song seems to have some root in country, can't wait for the line dancing...an aside, Wolf Blitzer was on the Hip-hop Soul Train awards show, even accepting an award for M&M; J.J. Cailler - I Got A Groove http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn4V1AIYqOY

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I guess attending that NASCAR race today really brought about a change in Michelle.

[One Name]

Vegans, PETA enthusiasts, Dixie Chicks, etc.

Having a form of countryness but denying the power therof; from such turn away....

[funfan]

Flash square dancing
Instead of Dosey Dosey your partner
it wil be - Punch your partner promenade left

[ottbmare]

Do they really, really think this is going to make us Christian folks suddenly fall in love with him and vote for him? Next I expect him to walk into some rural store all dressed in Filson gear and ask, "Can I get me a huntin' license here?"

[Revolting cat!]

Buying hillbilly, cracker, trailer trash, banjo player votes.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I wonder if they will be giving kids hunter safety courses at the white house.

Let's do some "Puff the Magic Dragon" and let it BURN, whaddya say?

[Arrowhead1952]

I’d bet the dixie chickens are on the list as well.

[Revolting cat!]

Anybody who likes country music is a friend of mine. Now I need directions on how to get to DU.

[calex59]

I guess this is part of establishing their new Red-Neck image, first Nascar and now country music. I bet they don’t get Hank Williams Jr. to show up:)

[al baby]

Sorry

[NonValueAdded]

NASCAR, now C&W ... next comes a "can I get me a hunting license here?" trip to Ohio?

Clintoon is pro'ly advising him to do these things then Bill and the missus cackle up a storm when 'bama does them.
