Boy, I wondered about that. Growing up with a musician I figured that was going to be one tough gig in the cold. Thanks for the info.

Obama the Milli Vinilli of the White House.

OK some Freeper needs to photo shop of Obama and Biden as Milli Vinilli. I wish I knew how to do that.

A fitting tribute to a FAKE president.

I get it - this is a British paper, so "sub-zero" means below 0 CENTIGRADE = below freezing.

The actual temp was around 20 (F).

My bad.

The whole concept of Television is fake. Fake sets (no backs). Fake emotion. Style no substance.

Masters of deceit, not exactly. Purveyors of deceit yes. Masters don’t get discovered.
Considering the audience, what’s a little more fakery. No diff than fake Bling they all display.
More importantly, is how long will the MSM be able to keep up the giddy support?

Wasnt Whitney Houston’s moving rendition of The Anthem at the SB pre-recorded too?

It’s not that big of a deal.

I'm far north of DC and it wasn't that cold here. The predictions were for 20 degrees or so.

UK paper may have meant below 0 degrees C.

It’s like that little Chinese girl at the Olympics.

As I remember, that was another girl's voice that was used.

Gotta love it.

The Milli Vanilli Administration! How do you know he’s lip-synching? His mouth is moving. It sounds great, but you’ve got the sneaking suspicion that it’s not real.

The 30’s had the TVA, we’ve got the MVA.

>Well, IMO, it’s a tempest in a teapot

We're going to get
four years of this nonsense crap.
Anything touching

Obama will get
scrutinized and get a thread
to ridicule it.

(Hey, is Hillary
blackmailing the White House with
the FBI files?!)

Yup, it was another little girl’s voice.

Okay, so maybe it’s more like Ashley Simpson on Saturday Night Live. I can believe that, I mean I was suffering from massive acid reflux on inauguration day :-)

>>Completely unfair to the musicians ... There is no grassy knoll


Ashley sez they tried
to play live, but the drummer
pressed the wrong button!

I'm not critical of the musicians. They were placed in a no win situation.

I criticize the event organizers, your federal government, who didn't consider that cold weather on January 20th might be a possibility and didn't arrange to have the performance area heated.

Whoopdie doo. This is done all the time.

As long as it was the same musicians who actually recorded the music, then there's no foul.

Would you rather have a great-sounding performance that was recorded, or a "legit" performance in the cold with out-of-tune instruments?

Milli Vanilli this is not.
