Though the White House has been singing the sequester blues, the Obamas still have managed to scrape together enough cash to throw a star-studded concert celebrating "Memphis Soul" later this month.
The White House announced Tuesday that the 10th concert in its "In Performance at the White House" series would go on April 16. Set to perform are Al Green, Ben Harper, Queen Latifah, Cyndi Lauper and Justin Timberlake, among many others.
Though the White House last month decided to suspend official tours of the "people's house" citing the sequester, the budget cuts apparently have not impeded the concert schedule.

Meanwhile, the White House did host the annual Eager Egg Roll on Monday, which is open to the public.
And the April 16 concert will feature a special event for school children.
First lady Michelle Obama plans to welcome 120 school students for a workshop that afternoon on "The History of Memphis Soul." Featured performers are expected to speak to the students and answer questions during that event.

” It’s good to be da king..”
Prescient “documentary”. Who would have thought such a B movie was sooooo predictive?
Hollywood and Washington are one in the same to Obama and Michellie, And tot he Hollywood Stars........difference only in whose house they throw the next bash in.
In this case they’re throwing it in ‘our house’, we can’t go to, and with our money.
Da King will get his due and it won’t be pretty.
This guy is not going to meet any virgins.
Stimulus money and influence peddling. Clinton sold the Lincoln bedroom and space tech for campaign funds, but Soetoro one upped him by selling Guam to Kim Jong Un for counterfeit US currency and pharmaceutical grade cocaine.
Ok, I made that last part up, but given the in your face corruption of the Soetoro admin, it is hard to make things up without bumping up against reality..
Dims lookin’ for hot stuff in Funkytown!
It’ll be like Padre Island, spring break. Exotic food, lots of booze, loose women (and boys) getting tightened, drunken scenes, arrests.
Or like a Kennedy family reunion.
Tighten your belts, plebs, and don’t look them in the eye.
Title led me to believe this was some ninja stuff.
Al Green can.
He’s OG, Yo!
Obama PLEASE keep this up!! PLEASE!!
There’s your Mt Olympus. Not some movie national monument. A shameful refuge of evil scoundrels.
The Easter Roll was paid for by private money. Hopefully this concert thingee is paid by other sources too.
What happened with Mooch’s birthday party? Wasn’t that supposed to be a big star-studded blowout?
Dibs on the BBQ concession.. Woo HOOOooo.. Let’s Party!!!
Meant everybody else on the list— not Al Green.
He’s the real deal.
Cannot understand Timberlake et al. this being one more waste of our money.
I don’t understand why women think Timberflake is handsome.
Seems like a enough fellow from what I’ve hear but, he’s a chick magnet?
Puhleeze...
