The Star-Spangled Banner is a difficult song and Washington’s Inauguration Day weather notoriously dicey. Beyonce may have made a respectful choice here.

O.M.G.! The ghost of Milli Vanilli is still with us!
The intellectual climate has been destroyed. You can’t believe ANYTHING in the news or from the mouth of a politician.
Obama is not so much a hologram as a puppet for the Fabians/ UN One World Government.
I’m with Ben…..
