Good news: Pop stars now posing in Obama’s chair in the WH Situation Room
posted at 7:50 pm on March 5, 2010 by Allahpundit
Fine by me. To object would, of course, be unhip, and besides, The One and his staff are perfectly capable of making this political calculation. If they think lending the president’s national-security seat for celebrity photo ops is a winner with voters, have at it. It certainly helps with his cool factor, and let’s face it — with stagnant unemployment and the ObamaCare debacle dragging on forever, that’s about 80 percent of his appeal at this point.
Did Bush do something like this too? I’ll bet he did and that every lefty media type who found out about it thought it was a cute and endearing reflection of his attitude towards the job. Here’s reaction from a different type of Situation Room featuring Donna Brazile and Alex Castellanos, who notes in Jay-Z’s defense that he has, after all, done more to create jobs than Obama. Exit ultimatum: If I see any photos of Lady Gaga rolling around on the Oval Office desk, that’s it.

So I guess it’s true. Money really does buy anything.

The next person who says “You can’t say that–have to respect the President and the office” gets bitch-slapped!

Is that honor reserved only for Friends of Obama? Could I sit in the President’s chair on a tour? /

I’m gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I’d even cut my hair
And change my name

“And hey…check this out….when I order the airplanes to air raid a village, that’s the chair I sit in. It spins around…try it!”
“Michelle wants to turn this into a sewing room for the girls, but the guys with those tacky uniforms won’t let me…they forgot I won…heh heh..”

He loves to make a mockery of our National Security already, this is still pretty sick though. A freaking child was elected.
Daemonocracy on March 5, 2010 at 11:23 PM
Yet another proof that bama is incompetent, ignorant, stupid, worthless, far above his abilities and just totally worthless, oh did I say that?. I HATE THIS FOOL!!! (I have never even thought that about any other president in my lifetime.)

How is this not a 100x bigger scandal than the Salahi party crashers? Our country is so fugged. I’m sure Dan Burton will announce an investigation on Monday, and he’ll be ridiculed by the traitors in the media.

Should this not count as an Obamateurism? Showing this much disrespect for the role of the “Commander in Chief” goes to show just how much this boy-president doesn’t have a clue.

Jay-Z has been getting some negative press lately for banning white people at his BRIT awards after-party.

A photo-op or something like this isn’t such a big deal, but Zero has done nothing but tarnish the image of the Presidency.
Things like this only reinforce the idea that 1600 Pennsylvania is more about chillin’ with the homies than leading the nation.

Who was at the stick when Air Force One buzzed NYC and made thousands of Registered Mentally Ill Democrats wee wee in their pants?
Probably the dirty ol bastard, o, wait is he dead? Probably.
Then it was probably Andy Stern, Rambo Dead Fish Emanual, Soros and maybe Van Jones.

If Wolf says “Situation Room” ONE MORE TIME–!!!

This is just par for the course. What worries me is how many Chinese and Russian spies are walking around freely in areas of National Security with cameras,fax machines,etc…I’ll bet Barry is selling everything at wholesale. He can get away with it ’cause he’s the “cool” president. America has yet to pay dearly for electing this travesty……………

This is not good.But at least you have pop stars sitting instead of interns kneeling! Join the Democratic party! It’s not a job! It’s an adventure!
MaiDee on March 6, 2010 at 8:30 AM
Our post-racial president, palling around with racists? Inconceivable!
Rae on March 6, 2010 at 9:01 AM
The One is workin’ on his cred since I been pointin’ out that He is Clarence in 8 Mile to everyone with ears.

This was probably on one of his party-night Wednesdays.
They were simply making a photo-op pit stop on their way to get on stage while the lobsters and Kobe beef were cooking. It’s good to be the king!
Good times…

If Hulaballoo were still on TV Mr. President would make an appearance. Cool, man. /
scalleywag on March 6, 2010 at 10:05 AM
I hope they fumigated afterwords.
elderberry on March 6, 2010 at 10:21 AM
At least it wasn’t Kanye.
ChrisB on March 6, 2010 at 10:22 AM
My new version of the movie Idiocracy has the gov’t giving the Congressional Medal of Honor to injured sports figures.
I don’t know why you guys can’t adjust to reality..
IlikedAUH2O on March 6, 2010 at 10:46 AM
BTW, has anyone checked the video which Kanye thought was so hot that he pulled the award from Taylor Smith? Three stupid broads shaking their butts.
Not too much trouble. White males have all the guts of a gelding on a guilt trip these days.
You get the treatment you demand.

The great Ron Carter was contributed to dome raptard session.
Prior to the session he made it clear that there were no drugs, no use of the word ni&$er (almost a deal breaker) and some other things.
Afterward, describing the session, he said something to the effect, why don’t you learn what a chord is”.
It must be hard for consumate musician of great historic value to witness the jokes and phonies that call themselves talented
we are going backwards thanks to the commies

You’re better off not knowing. Her music is so bad its been known to induce seizures.
Mike Honcho on March 6, 2010 at 11:57 AM
So that was Obama directing the air traffic at JFK the other day!
profitsbeard on March 6, 2010 at 12:43 PM
And I said from the very start of this asinine administration, that when the ‘bummer’ moved in there would be “shuckin’ and jivein’ through the halls of our Capital!
hopefloats on March 6, 2010 at 11:55 PM
Not even close to buzzing lower Manhatten in Air Force One at building level.
percysunshine on March 7, 2010 at 10:47 AM
When I first heard that some know-nothing clown celebrity from the race-victim cult of the culture wars was sitting in the President’s seat in the Situation Room, I was confused.
Isn’t that where Obama always sits?
Jaibones on March 7, 2010 at 1:13 PM
Did the Dalai Lama get Situation Room tour too?
Before being led out back past the piles of White House garbage, that is?
Or did he only get the garbage tour?
RD on March 7, 2010 at 7:29 PM
Side-by-side photo opportunity (for a T-shirt perhaps?):
Jay-Z and Beyocce kickin’ back in the Situation Room
Dalai Lama being hustled out the back, past the trash
RD on March 7, 2010 at 7:33 PM
Doesn’t that sound like the camera never should have been in the room? Especially if it was a phone with camera capabilities?
Who scrubbed the room/ these yahoos for security purposes before/afterwards?
Who allowed them in the room?
How much did they donate to Obama’s 2008/2012 campaign?
Who was babysitting them while they were in the room?
Where ar the rest of the pics?
