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.

“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.

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.

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.
