...And Trey Songz.

Doing what?

Harlepolis said:

They say just touring the residence.

LOL.

Harlepolis said:

Giving crazy Republicans ammunition.

You wish Jigga

Um. That's not the real white house.

Is that Trey Songz in their too, that's not the White House, the Taj Mahal maybe.

Photo op? A hot, stinking mess?
Let's hope that this is just a replica of the presidential boardroom. That seal behind Jay looks a bit out-of-preposition.

It's the real deal: Jay-Z and company got an audience with President Obama. The photo was snapped in one of the White House boardrooms on Wednesday as they watied for him. What's wrong with that?

Identity said:

Here, just going to say it before the crazies do

He's in the illuminati man, and he's trying to recruit the president to his Satanic cult!

The crazies already started. Hey Weekly "Standard". Less time spent on stupid jokes and maybe more time spent on formatting your article correctly (and not having the first word of the next paragraph appear right beside the first photo...dumbasses!).

Jay-z and Trey performed that night at the Verizon Center (Trey is his opening act on the BP3 Tour)and they were invited to the White House by President Obama

What's wrong with it? Did we ever see pics of Babs rolling around the Lincoln bedroom? Or Fleetwood Mac? Or any of Bush's republican country artist friends? It's just poor form, especially during this hard economic time. It makes the president look elitist and out of touch. Now, what does this do to B'Weave and Jay-Z? Well, it just makes them look tacky as f$ck which is pretty much par for the course.

James Brown, Michael Jackson, Elvis have all went to the White House

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Elvis also worked for the U.S. Government at one point.

sosgemini said:

Shit they are plenty of pics of celeb's visiting the white house before Obama

banks said:

Oh yes, when they are participating in award ceremonies or public events. This, however was a private visit, right? And there's nothing wrong with these peeps sneaking a candidate photo for their own collection but where they have errored is in posting this on twitter or facebook or whatever social site they circulated this through. Out of the previous mentioned artist, Elvis and MJ were part of honoring their achievements...it was pr. This was a private tour.

Janet visited the White House.

Chile, I said the same thing

sosgemini said:

Damn, lighten up, Sos-y!

Tons of celebrities have been photographed during visits to the White House through the years, through good times and bad. Those posed photos are just business as usual. I think the only difference is that back in the olden days, i.e., pre-internet hub-bub, people simply use to keep the memorial photos to themselves, and we only saw them turn up in memoirs or during interviews with Barbara Walters. I would hardly say the President looks elitest for a pic of a rap and a pop star visiting the White House and waiting his arrival in a meeting room. He's not even there, for goodness' sake.

If anything, the Knowles and Mr. Carter are the ones who have the proverbial egg on their faces for letting this pic leak. Although Jay does have some good humanitarian projects in impoverished countries (which makes me say why not accept an invite from the President? Nobody sneezed when Elizabeth Hasselbeck or Toby Keith spent all their time with their noses up Bushes butt and stealing candy from the Oval Office). Still it does reek of publicity whoredom, socio-political ladder climbing and all the rest of it. That's pretty much the only offense I see here...tha, and Jay-Z really needs to get his ass up out of that chair...tack, tack, tackyyyyy !

I don't see the big deal either.

I'll say though that the pic strikes me as funny,,,,on so many levels

Well, the president did say he was willing to sit down and talk to our enemies in hopes of bringing about change.
