WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 21: Musician Alicia Keys performs at the Commander-in-Chief Ball before the arrival of U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama on January 21, 2013 in Washington, DC. U.S. President Barack Obama was sworn-in for his second term as president during a public ceremonial inauguration earlier in the day. Credit: Getty Images
You know the Citi commercial you get stock in your head when it played about 20 times a day this fall? You know the one I’m talking about: It features the guy whose girlfriend thought he was boring so he goes out after they break up and does all sorts of interesting things with his credit card, including going to an Alicia Keys concert. It ends with Keys singing the climax of her song “Girl on Fire.”
Here’s the spot:
Well, on Monday Keys turned her popular hit into an ode to Obama by changing the words to “Obama’s on fire!” among others. And she belted it out at one of the inaugural balls (fastforward to the 30-second mark):
Sorry, we know you’ll be humming it all day now.

Jan. 22, 2013 at 7:00pmThe fundamental problem with humanity consists of two very simple conditions:
Arrogance and Stupidity.
Each is equally horrible on their own, however, when combined, they are devastating to the individual, the culture and, in the end, the entirety of the species.

Jan. 22, 2013 at 10:27pmAll the black racists came out last night to support Obama. The only reason why they are worshiping him like that is because he’s black.

Jan. 22, 2013 at 12:59pmWhites fart and their called racist, so why do all these blacks, much of whom openly love Obama only because he’s black, not get called out for racism? I have no problem with a black president as long as he follows the laws, the Constitution, and tries to meet in the middle. Heck, I was all for voting for Herman Cain. I voted twice for Tim Scott, so do you lefty’s consider me a “partial racist”? I get that black people fawned over Obama, which by the way is only 1/10 black, the first time around, but with all his cover ups, executive orders, and flat out lies, I don’t get the second time around. Maybe all elections are fixed and Americans have mud on our faces.

Jan. 22, 2013 at 12:04pmI went to her concert a few years ago and was shocked, during the entire show they had communist propoganda banners flashing on the backdrop screen. It was the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen, nothing but hammer and sickel and fist images
“I think music and socialism and politics have always gone hand in hand. As artists we used to be way more instrumental in providing a soundtrack to the heartbeat of what`s going on in the world. We all don`t have to think the same thing but it`s important to state what we think. There is such a fear of termination of one`s career if they have any intelligent thought about politics and that`s messed up.” A.K.

They’re cowards though, I wish they would just come out of the closet instead of subvertly pushing propoganda

Jan. 22, 2013 at 9:16amShe is an amazing artist, but like most big international stars, completely clueless about the world and the state of politics. It’s actually sad to see so many people so completely and utterly blind to the truth. The Kool-Aid is spiked in Obamaville, and everyone who drinks is mightily deceived!!!

Jan. 22, 2013 at 9:14amWell since we have heard the elites calling Obama “Savior”, “God”, “Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?” and outright worshiping him, a certain ancient writing comes to mind….
“If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.” Revelation 14:9,10
Whether or not you are a believer, I think the parallel is striking……I’ve never in my 60 years seen a president looked at like he is a deity before…..

Jan. 22, 2013 at 9:13amIt is honestly like watching a third-world dictator be praised for his body and soul rather than his work and achievements.
We are watching a cult of personality play out. The most stupid among us are now so numerous that we slip the noose…er…beautiful collar around our collective neck for this man.
With this type of support, it is an inevitability that his place in history will be one of death and chaos. He is an evil man with throngs of those who love only beauty while praising his unknown substance.
America’s stupidity was celebrated with this multi-million dollar party at my expense, and you weren’t welcome.

Jan. 22, 2013 at 8:55amI had a most enjoyable Lee-Jackson holiday.
The whole family worked all-day together on the farm. Even had a very close friend come over unexpectedly and rolled up his sleeves to dig in. We finished off the evening with a big homemade chili supper.
None of us watched a single minute of TV yesterday – on purpose. We chose to be productive and celebrate what really has made this country prosperous, rather than fairy tales inside the Matrix.

Jan. 22, 2013 at 8:52amApparently red was the preferred color choice of the evening. Rather symbolic given Obama’s radical left policies. Also think the next Democrat candidate will not be Hillary, but rather Michelle Obama. They president “sold” her to the public like a hot commodity so many times yesterday. Her appearance at the military ball last night was like watching Hollywood award ceremony. A true make-over moment. Wonder what the Clintons’ were thinking….the next four years will be ” interesting”….

Jan. 22, 2013 at 9:07amBarber – I am on board with your assessment of the obvious posturing for the Michelle for Prez theme. It is subtle and clear and those that swoon over the King also are crazy for her. It is a popularity contest and has nothing to do with viable leadership. The Obama’s are their rockstars and that is all the qualifications required for this dumbed down voter and media population that has joined together successfully in the quest to usurp our liberties and freedoms.

Jan. 22, 2013 at 8:55amGod doesn’t hate. We have let this “virus” infect the country. The table has been set for a long time. Now we have King Obama sitting in the “big chair” all puffed up and believing he is “ruler of the world” and many of his followers are oblivious to the actual systemic damage he is purposely causing because they are drunk and swooning on the euphoria. They have elected “their Elvis”, “their Beatles” and they behave much like a 17 year old girl seeing Elvis or The Beatles for the first time. It’s pathetic and it ain’t going away anytime soon……..
