Paul McCartney: Lay Off “Great Guy” Obama

Paul McCartney would like President Obama's critics to let him be.

“I’m a big fan, he’s a great guy. So lay off him, he’s doing great,” the British songsmith said on Tuesday, ABC News reported.

This year’s recipient of the Library of Congress’s Gershwin Prize for Popular song, McCartney is set to perform at the White House Wednesday evening and be feted by fellow musicians Stevie Wonder, Faith Hill, the Jonas Brothers, Elvis Costello and Herbie Hancock, among others.

Speaking at a press conference in Washington ahead of the event, McCartney, 67, said he planned to “try to have fun” but predicted a case of the nerves when performing “like, three feet away” from Obama.

The Gershwin Prize, named after songwriting duo George and Ira Gershwin, has been given out on two previous occasions, according to Reuters.

Stevie Wonder was honored last year. Paul Simon got the nod in 2007, which makes the ex-Beatle the first non-American Gershwin Prize recipient.

He's always been a niggerlover. Didn't he do some dreadfully nauseating song with nigger Stevie Wonder at one time?

[niggerloverNOT]

I've hated this wanker for years now. Billionaire "Sir" Paul still charging $200 for a concert and his general douche-baggery over the years has left me wishimg this old has-been would die or retire, I don't care which, really. Of course he's a nigger-lover, what else would he be in this day and age?

[niggerloverNOT]

He's always been a niggerlover. Didn't he do some dreadfully nauseating song with nigger Stevie Wonder at one time? Yeah, the dreadful dreck called "Ebony and Ivory". :vomit

[ANH]

Fuck Paul. I wrote him off after that niggerworship fest "Ebony and Ivory" with some blind nigger and whatever that jizz-gargle nonsense he recorded with the pedonigger was called. He did some great stuff with The Beatles but he's just a libtard idiot that's been living isolated from the real world for the last 50 years. A classic limousine liberal. :hippie

[LaTrine Jakscoon]

Yeah, the dreadful dreck called "Ebony and Ivory". :vomit

That's it!!!! Totally vomit inducing!!!! :puke :puke :puke

[Black Betty]

after getting more money than he knows what to do with, fame and titles, there is not much to strive for him. He will never be as great as Beatles once were, so the only thing he got left is sucking nigger dick and seeing other mindless, nigger dick sucking libertards worshipping him. The rest of us, we can realize that his career has been going down the hill so I'm not going to shell out $200 to see a washed out has-been.

[DJ StoopNig]

He's all :pet with :popcorn.



:down:down

[ObongoLips]

It be great if he got muhdicked by some jungle nigger. Wonder how he feels about niggers with a piece of ebony wood up his pooper?

:pet

[SparklinWiggles]

Don't forget, it's SIR Paul. He's a douche bag. Sounds like he's still bitter about divorcing that one-legged libtard

[IndyCoonHunter]

Well, it takes a socialist to know a socialist.

[AlphnX]

Wow, I'm dissapointed. I used to love the Beattles music. what can you expect from someone who is insulated from the real worl of which we live in? :snack

Sir Paul McCartney has been honoured by Barack Obama at the White House - even though he risked "getting punched out" by the US President.

McCartney Sings 'Chimpelle' To First Sheboon

WASHINGTON (AP) ― If the first British invasion of the White House ended with the house afire, the latest had Barack and Michelle Obama and their kids rocking out in their seats Wednesday night at a tribute concert for former Beatle Paul McCartney.

The setting was the ornate East Room, chandeliers overhead, George and Martha Washington portraits on the walls and an all-star lineup of performers cranking out some of McCartney's greatest hits.

Stevie Wonder had the Obamas clapping to "We Can Work It Out." The Jonas Brothers did "Baby You Can Drive My Car." Corinne Bailey Rae slowed things down with "Blackbird." And Faith Hill stroked "Long and Winding Road."

It was McCartney himself who brought down the house by belting out "Michelle," aiming his words straight at a first ho named Michelle.

He said he'd been "itching" to perform it at the White House, and asked the president's forgiveness in advance. The first lady was soon mouthing the words along with McCartney and the president was swaying in his seat.

After serenading the first lady with the lyrics "I love you, I love you, I love you," McCartney joked that he just might be the "first guy ever to be punched out by a president." :vomit

The whole night was built around Obama's presentation to McCartney of the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, awarded by the Library of Congress.

McCartney said it was a moment like no other.

"I don't think there could be anything more special than to play here," the Englishman said.

And then he volunteered to make it a regular gig.

"Lunchtimes, we could come around," he offered. "We're cheap."

McCartney, 67, left no question about how he felt about Obama, telling the president that in tough times, "You have billions of us who are rooting for you and we know you are going to come through."

Later, after the TV cameras had left, he expressed appreciation for the Library of Congress and added a zinger: "After the last eight years, it's great to have a president who knows what a library is."

Obama hailed McCartney's songs as a huge part of American culture, telling the singer-songwriter, "That's right, we stole you, Sir Paul."

The Beatles might not have been the first rock group, Obama said, but "they blew the walls down for everyone else."

"They helped to lay the soundtrack for an entire generation," the president said.

McCartney closed out the concert with a string of hits that had the whole audience singing along to "Hey Jude."

By the end, Obama and his family were on stage singing along with the "nah, nah, hey Jude."

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld supplied the concert with its comic relief. He had lots of compliments for McCartney and one complaint — he couldn't quite figure some of McCartney's lyrics.

Such as: "She was just 17. You know what I mean."

Seinfeld: "I'm not sure I do know what you mean, Sir Paul. I think I know what you mean. And I think there's a law enforcement agency in a couple of states that might want to ask you a few questions."

Among others performing were Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, Herbie Hancock, White Stripes singer and guitarist Jack White, Lang Lang and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl.
