The pool report from Memphis night at the White House:

[P]ool also spotted Dr. Jill Biden, sporting a dress with a leopard print on a white background. Vice President Biden didn't appear to be sitting with her, as far as pool could tell. Our view of the audience was partially blocked.

Some funny comments from Ken Ehrlich, the executive producer of the show --

As he was warming up the audience before the show started, he said so many of the night's songs would feature hits by Otis Redding that he has dubbed the event "Otis for POTUS."

He then led the audience in practicing their synchronized clapping to a recorded version of "Respect." Afterward, Ehrlich said he was "particularly proud of all the white people. I think we really proved something ... and we're going to keep proving it all night."

“When POTUS and FLOTUS were about to come into the room, the lighting around the stage turned to a vibrant purple.

How regal.....

“President Obama walked into the room to the Booker T. Washington and the MG’s 60s mod classic “Green Onions.” When he got to the mike, he said: “I’m in my second term now so rather than ‘Hail to the Chief,’ we’re going with that (referring to the Green Onions song)...from here on out. A little change in tradition.”

That is not the only change in tradition you have made....

Decadence on display. Party while the people lose jobs and taxes go up.

It was good for Drudge to stream this.

This couple is acting like the same ghetto inhabitants who might have won the lotto when down at the sto’ buyin their forty and a pack of Newports.

Might as well resurrect the MTV Cribs show and put the First Family at the head of the schedule.

They've been acting like ghetto thugs with 'found money' ever since they were elected. It's what they do; it's who they are.

I think Hussein may be crazy for real. I mean, genuinely nuts.

If not, then he is simply just not the caliber of person who should be in the office of President.

One can only imagine what the residential quarters at the White House look like today.

Typical white liberal.

Afraid of black people, smiling away hoping not to get attacked.

I don’t know, really. Maybe pretty good; they are never there - off on some fantastic vacation.

I resent their party being called “Memphis” night. The closest person there that called a Memphian was Justin Timberlake, and his music does not represent the music culture of our town.

Justin Timberlake, a foreigner, gets invited to the White House, but American school kids are locked out.

Lost a ton of respect for Booker T Jones when hwe said on CNN that his biggest thrill last night was Ferdinand Obuuma standing next to him and singing. Ah, well, gotta vote for the brutha, I guess.

Zero mentioned “Hail to the Chief” in his remarks. Just how many times has that song been played for the Usurper in Chief since he’s usurped the office of POTUS? Anybody know?

Oops...was thinking of Justin Bieber.

Hard time keeping straight all those celebrities I never pay attention to, and usually only hear of when their untimely death is reported.
