Fox News: "Obama's Hip-Hop BBQ Didn't Create Jobs"

Fox News

And here we have a screenshot of Fox News's report on President Obama's birthday party last night, which was attended by such hip-hop luminaries as UBS Investment Bank President Robert Wolf, FCC Chair Julius Genachowski, House Leader Nancy Pelosi, and Obama's Harvard law school friends. How street is that?! Oh, there were also gangsta celebs like Tom Hanks, Gayle King, and CSI: NY star Hill Harper! Heh, you can bet the baggy pants at this party were sagging lower than the Dow!

Unlike George W. Bush, who always spent his birthdays riding through the countryside on horseback planting magical job-creation seeds (you'll recall the Fox article "Bush's Country Music Rodeo Employs Millions") that lazy Obama just spent the night lounging around eating BBQ chicken with his "urban" hip-hop friends. Jay-Z was in the house—technically he was the only hip-hop artist on the guest list, but as you can see from this Fox News photo composite, the other guests probably enjoy hip-hop music... because the DJ played some, mixed in with Motown and R&B.

So what songs did Jay-Z perform at this "def" hip-hop BBQ? Well, he didn't actually perform, but there were performances from R&B singer Ledisi, Herbie Hancock, and Stevie Wonder, who tore into his nasty Dirty South hip-hop classic "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours" as Obama sprayed Armand de Brignac all over Kathleen Sebelius and David Axelrod played the bongos on Hillary Clinton's gyrating bikini bottom. Shit was off the CHAIN in the East Room hot tub, Fox reports.

Now we know why hip hop and philosophy have to ask, why? Rapper Jadakiss asks: Why they gotta do me like that? The hip hop philosopher from Queensbridge, Dr. Derrick Darby asks: Why they gotta call it a hip hop BBQ when Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock were there?

"Slightly racist Fox News broadcast also didn't create new jobs"

Fox News: Fair and Balanced. And definitely not racist at all. No way.

Actually I think when Fox News says "hip hop" they just mean "black".

This.

Obama is so out of touch with reality and real people it is amazing. Clearly he wants to be remembered as a worse president than Jimmy Carter.

SPsGhost

Jimmy Carter was one of the best presidents this nation has had.

Did you forget about the last guy? I wouldn't blame you if you did. I try hard to as well.

The economy is in the crapper, people are losing their homes, jobs, savings and this bozo is partying like there is no tomorrow.

sairobi

I'm assuming you had no problem with W's record-breaking vacation days while there were two wars going on and an economy in the process of getting to where it is now. Please tell me you're trolling.

TunaLoaf

You read the headline, then went straight to the comments section, correct?

Barry O'toole

yeah, we should cancel christmas, labor day and thanksgiving too. This is why we're losing ground to the Chinese.

SPsGhost

This has got to be your all time most trollish post ever. Congratulations! Keep honing your craft.

John_Del_Signore

Yeah, he had a birthday party with hot dogs and BBQ chicken in his home, and there was music too -- JUST LIKE NERO FIDDLING WHILE ROME BURNED

If no one was shot, it wasn't a hip hop barbeque. Posers.

Politburo

Principled opposition.

Best paragraph I've read from Gothamist in a while.
