Paul McCartney Bashes Bush in Front of Obama and White House Guests By Noel Sheppard Created 06/03/2010 - 15:14
Former Beatles star Paul McCartney took a cheap shot at George W. Bush Wednesday evening after receiving an award from Barack Obama.
McCartney was honored in the East Room of the White House by the President, his family, and a star-studded guest list that included Stevie Wonder, Dave Grohl, Faith Hill, the Jonas Brothers, Jack White, Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, Herbie Hancock, Corinne Bailey Rae, and Jerry Seinfeld.
After receiving the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, McCartney told the audience, "After the last eight years, it's good to have a president that knows what a library is" (video follows with commentary):
Potentially even more disgraceful, those in the audience wildly applauded after McCartney made this disgusting comment.
Isn't that special?
Two weeks ago, a Mexican president got cheered [0] by Democrats in Congress when he insulted Arizona's governor and every American that supports that state's new anti-illegal immigration law.
Days later, a British pop star insults our 43rd president -- while being honored by our nation in THE WHITE HOUSE!!! -- and those in attendance think it's a riot.
Makes you proud to be an American, doesn't it?
Post facto exit question: McCartney is touring America this summer. Will this comment help or hurt ticket sales?
Who cares, I never liked the Beatles anyway
I have never really like his music, even when he and the rest first came to this country. I thought they were a bunch of illiterate, egotistical snots.
If nothing else, they should respect the office if not the man. A real president, one who cared about America would make it clear that childish bashing of previous presidents wouldn’t be tolerated.
But we don’t have a real president.
Another future irrelevant dead Beatle.
Some of you Freepers are old! :-)
We need to embrace European ways.....no thank you.
Sir Paul, you are a baffoon and I won’t waste a euro or dollar on your music!
McCartney doesn’t have a President - he has a Prime Minister.
But then he doesn’t have a Constitution either, so he has to come here to enjoy the freedom to bash his betters.
What a useless turd.
I can’t say what I really think, but it would be scathingly negative if I did/could.
Yep... such a classy crowd in the white house. Kinda like Jed and all his clan.

Two foreigners laughing at the U.S.
Be kind, he’s got an expensive ‘thing’ for one-legged porn stars.
Paul Mac Cartney is the poster child for the reason why we should have sat out of WWII in Europe.
Nero fiddled after he torched Rome...just ChicagO doing the same.
Hey, Paul, how much did that divorce cost, anyway? Buy a lot of books with that?
I really loved the Beatles BUT, after this, give me just 5 minutes alone with this pansy so I can introduce him to American Revolution II.
Hey Paul, take the long and winding road back to Merry Old London and take Barry with you.
We need to embrace European ways.....no thank you.
Het Paul, you’d be speaking German if ...
Never mind.
What a swine.
