WASHINGTON - The U.S. Marine Corps is backing off statements that Beyonce lip-synced the national anthem during her performance at President Barack Obama's inauguration.

The Marine Corps issued a statement Tuesday saying it determined that a live performance by the Marine Band was ill advised because there was no opportunity for Beyonce to rehearse with the band.

Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Gregory Wolf says no one in the band is in a position to know whether Beyonce's vocal performance was live or pre-recorded.

Earlier a spokeswoman for the Marine Band told news outlets the band was notified at the last minute that Beyonce would use a pre-recorded voice track.

No scandal too small for a cover-up with this Administration.

Is there anything real about Obama and his minions??

All news of all kinds should be considered false when it is first released. They will correct their story (any story) the next day. And the day after that. And the day after that. Once there are 4 official versions of the event in circulation, the Powers That Be will stand down, confident that no one can know anything with confidence about any past event. This is a hallmark of the Age Of Obama.

They seek to destroy the very concept of "truth".

This is an issue because...?

If it was lip synced, it was still her voice recorded elsewhere.

The inauguration was fake too...zero was sworn in already.

Maybe they should have used that chick who was in the Beatles.

You must tow the party line or their will be consequences. ....... and the dress she wore was red, not black!!! I’m happy that we are all in agreement!

I personally cannot stand Beyonce “Mitches” Jay-Z, Blue Lagoon, Snoop Dawg, whatever her name is but this really doesn’t matter to me at all.

[dirtboy]

The point to me is not that she lip-synced, but the push by the Obama Admin to cover up that she did. I have no reason to doubt the initial Marine Band statements here.

Instead if putting the b**ch on the spot and questioning her, they run around and intimidate the crap out of the witnesses to silence them. Geesh.

We still have heard not one word from the 24 people of the Benghazi Consulate who survived due to heroic response by former Seals. Not one freaking’ word! No calls to the Hill to testify. No reporter finding them. No “off the record” stuff. Zilch!

“...anything real about Obama...”

This is just crazy! Even Michelle’s hair is fake! Everything!

We are doomed, we are a nation of wimps! Not even the Marines can take a stand for truth!

[Venturer]

LMAO, that was great.
