The Blaze ^ | 5/17/13 | Meredith Jessup

The Obamas announced today that they will be hosting another “Performance at the White House” event on May 28 to honor American singer and songwriter Carole King:

As part of their “In Performance at the White House” series, the President and First Lady will host a concert in the East Room honoring singer-songwriter Carole King, who will be awarded the 2013 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. President Obama will present the award as he did when the Library of Congress honored Stevie Wonder (2009), Sir Paul McCartney (2010), and the songwriting team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David (2012). The program will include performances by King, as well as Gloria Estefan, Billy Joel, Jesse McCartney, Emeli Sandé, James Taylor and Trisha Yearwood.

They’re not pushing the envelope, they ARE the envelope.
Nothing can stop them from continuing blithely to keep doing all they’ve managed to get away with for more than 4 years.
It serves as “proof positive” to them and their bitter-end
supporters, in a kind of in-your-face way that THEY are “the ones” who can set us on the proper (mock)-Utopian course where there’s a pot of gold awaiting everyone at the end of the Green Energy rainbow, which WE know will never come, but THEY believe is out there, “soon” to be revealed, if only we would just see the light and roll over for their Agenda.
Their constant partying serves as an implicit celebration that everything they’re doing is something to be celebrated,
with us as the fawning bystanders lucky enough to witness it.

They always seem to give these awards non-stop to people who haven’t written one hit song never mind one good song in 40 years. Paul McCartney is the absolute worst. All this idiot has been doing for the pasty 40 years is sing Hey Jude and harangue the masses to eat veggie, and it’s just non stop awards over and over and over and over for this guy. Any other business he would have been run out of town decades ago.

I like Carole King, but when it the last time she had a hit? 1973 when she was 30? So if I had a job and I retired when I was 30, forty years later I should get an award? This is more leftist propaganda, they keep using these awards to promo their agendas like when the worlds worst comedienne Tina Fey imitated Sarah Palin, liberals couldn’t fall over themselves fast enough to give her the Mark Twain prize for humor, an award in the past given to the likes of Neil Simon, George Carlin, WW2 Marine Jonathan Winters, Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, Carl Reiner. Now if you are a massive leftist like Whoopi Goldberg or Ellen Degenrate *boom* you get the award.

What about Carol Burnett? They mean to tell me these leftist women are more talented than Carol Burnett or a Republican like Goldie Hawn or Teri Garr who have been in the business since the 1960s?? Baloney. I am so sick to death of leftists using awards shows to promo their leftist BS, especially this Kenyan schmuck given the peace prize LOL! For doing NOTHING other than being a commie.

why is this , the white house, our house still closed and why has no one been arrested and lost their pensions over all this corruption?

This is outrageous, I;m sick of it, frigging sick of it, This Govt is corrupt to the core and yet the media is now slacking off their reporting over all of this and trying to still defend him and what does the GOP ever do.

Oh they just do hearings, ask questions to many of the wrong people are being asked . Get oabma out there and question this man and many need to be arrested, lose their pensions and prison time.

most Obama stickers I see which is rear today around here are put on their cars by blacks and I just think racist and dumb.

Most blacks would vote for Obama again if they saw a video of him raping a white old woman shouting kill you cracker b@@@@.
To them he;s an hero, the first non white guy though he is more white than black.
Obama still goes around the country and still gets a decent crowd, yes many are black but there are still dumb white guilt low info vhitey;s out there

Yeah but, who’s winning American Idolatry and Danzing vit der Starz in between commercials for Viagra, Sleeping Pills, and Depends this week?

That’s about the extent of the American McSheeple’s attention span.

Obama can completely destroy “White America” and it will not change the failed destiny or growth of Black Americans!!! In fact: Obama has set Black Americans into permanent poverty, which is his goal. Until the culture of Black America changes, they are going nowhere, no matter whether a slave master like Obama is in power or not!!! What culture you ask??? The culture of the “something for nothing” mindset!!!

Fact is: The Obama “stash” mantra will destroy America very quickly. Just look at cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia, etc. Obama has ‘em in economic chains....and that is where they will stay!!! Poor souls don’t have a clue. They just keep aborting their babies by the thousands or shooting themselves in gang and drug wars. That’s the Obama legacy for our Black communities. You can lead a horse to water....but....you cannot make him drink!!!
