Lol. Some of us, the non-neanderthals in America, actively support the arts. These programs are usually broadcast on PBS and I always watch.

To whomever sent me the anonymous rep saying the Obamas "turned it into the Chicago ghetto". One of the performers, Mavis Staples, sings gospel and is a part of one of the most famous Christian singing families in the country. Al Green is a wonderfully talented gospel singer. If you have a problem with people singing in church, or think singing songs about Jesus Christ is a bad thing and consider them all "ghetto" sign your name next time so we'll ALL know your feelings on the subject. Thanks.

Did you whine about the lavish lifestyles of previous first families as well? I'm guessing the answer is a resounding NO.

It's ALWAYS a NO. It's those uppity Obamas people have a problem with.

"...like nobody before them."
Born yesterday you must have been.

You know else thought the arts were so special? Hitler and Stalin... You were automatically an elite if you were an artist or performer. Sounds like you want it to be like that. The arts do nothing for ANYONE's prosperity unless you are the artist and finally die.

I am neither offended nor embarrassed, so, NOT, the "whole nation."

Gotta say though, love the hyperbole.
