Cause there's nothing else to currently worry about in this world. :awkney:

It's not good to worry about things 24/7. The president listens to music too. It's summertime. What's the big deal?

You are on a pop music forum using a Britney Spears emoticon to shade a Nobel Peace Prize winner for not caring enough about global issues, you realize that right?

There is nothing wrong wrong with President Obama promoting music, culture, and the arts. The White House frequently hosts music events, The Presidential Metal of Freedom has been given to musicians, and Obama like everyone else has a personal relationship with music.

There are reasons to hate on Obama, but this isn't one of them.
