The White House went a little bit country Tuesday.
"Now, I know folks think I'm a city boy, but I do appreciate listening to country music," President Barack Obama said to guests gathered in the East Room for a performance by country musicians Alison Krauss and Union Station.
Brad Paisley and country music legend Charley Pride also entertained the audience, which included first lady Michelle Obama, Cabinet secretaries and lawmakers.

I like Alison and Brad, just sorry to see them go hang out with Bambi. They ought to be smart enough to know he is just using them.
Allison! How could you!?
I USED to listen to Allison.... no more.... I don’t need to support obamanation lovers
Not all rednecks are smart enough to be able to identify Communism, Fascsim and Marxism when they see it.
The Dude-In-Chief is throwing a party like every week.
Talk about out of touch...
Somebody ping The Dixie Chicks. They must be insulted.
NNNNnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
I don’t care about Allison Krauss and Brad Paisley, but I’m disappointed in Charley Pride.
Where did it say that they were Obama lovers? Maybe they were just invited there to perform? Hard to turn down a White House gig no matter who the officeholder is.
They’re using him, too.
Alison Kraus is more bluegrass isn’t she?
perhaps because I wouldn’t attend anything that this person has going on because my belief systems are so opposed to liars and thugs....... I guess that’s why I think they are “obama lovers”. Anyway, it has changed, forever, my view of Allison, and I was a big fan. She doesn’t need the money...
I think Alison Krauss is from Champaign,IL. There are a bunch of leftist numbskulls here.
Has there been anything said or printed about Charley Pride, Alison Krauss, and Brad Paisley supporting Obama, or did they just accept the invitation of the POTUS to perform at the WH?
President Bush invited entertainers to perform there who disagreed with him politically.
thank you... I didn’t know where she was from. I have a friend in radio who has told me that she is not “radio friendly”, thus is not played much on the airways.... but that’s all I knew.
And the reason we care about what kind of music you like is????????????
There was a time in this country when people graciously accepted invitations to the White House, no matter who the president. Those days are gone. We no longer are Americans— but conservatives, liberals and moderates or libertarians. That’s a shame. Yes, I know entertainers and celebrities were the first to diss Pres. Bush and Pres. Reagan but no matter who’s in charge, I would go to the White House if invited.
Huh?????!
“She doesn’t need the money...??????”
When you do a gig at the White House you do it for FREE, don’t you?
She doesn’t need WHAT money???!
Kraus is expected. She’s a lefty.
Paisley lives in Hollywood with this actress wife. So makes sense. I guess.
His new song is an Obama amthem — The Future is Here or something.
