PSY Performs at the White House: Was It Appropriate in Wake of Anti- American Apology?

It looks like President Obama has pardoned PSY for his past sins against the U.S.A. The Korean creator of the “Gangnam Style” craze was riding high on his Internet music video for the last couple of months. For a while, it seemed like nothing could have knocked him off the top of the viral pedestal. But as he was approaching almost one billion hits on YouTube, controversy finally struck the sunglass-wearing celeb.

PSY

Everything blew up, appropriately enough online, where videos of a different kind surfaced. They weren’t of another infinitely catchy new dance. Instead, they showed PSY performing anti-American protest songs back in 2004. He apologized for rapping lyrics written by the heavy metal band N.E.X.T. that called for the death of U.S. troops in Iraq, following the slaying of South Korean hostages in the Middle Eastern country.

And apparently, the combination of his words of remorse and the undeniable “Gangnam” fervor were enough to keep him in good standing with the POTUS. PSY performed for the first family at the White House on Sunday for the annual Christmas concert, which will air on December 21. But do you think it was appropriate for him to perform in the wake of the Anti-American apology?

    The reason for that song was because of the deaths of two people from his own country. Two innocent people.

    If it would have happened to an American, there would be many American artists who would make a song like that about the country who caused it.

    This is a half-truth: "He apologized for rapping lyrics written by the heavy metal band N.E.X.T. that called for the death of U.S. troops in Iraq, following the slaying of South Korean hostages in the Middle Eastern country."

    In reality, his targets were only those responsible for TORTURING Iraqis: "The lyrics of one song he performed in 2004 urged the death of Americans who ordered torture for Iraqis" according to your source. For more info see http://www.theatlanticwire.co...

    It make quite a difference! Those responsible for torture should be prosecuted for war crimes!

    It's sick that Obama invites numerous anti-Americans into the WH. This guy makes me sick that he 'sang' about killing our troops!! & he's in our WH?
    Then there was the rapper who had been involved in a cop shooting in some way, & he was invited for the CHILDREN'S BOOK READING!!!
    Not very appropiate!

    There's been others. Why doesn't obama invite patriots to the WH? Like Seal Team 6, for instance? Instead, they got in trouble, & disciplined!!!

    Obama loves to vacation, spending millions just on his trip to Hawaii. He added $6 trillion in debt in just 4 yrs.

    The worst is that he is pro-radical Islam, which is 100% ANTI-AMERICAN! Seeing him invite more anti-American people to our WH is an insult to true Americans, who love our country & our freedom that so many of our troops have fought for.

    We need to get our country back!

    This is why such a large portion of Americans distrust Obama and doubt his loyalty to the US Constitution and the nation, as well as his judgement. Regardless of his true feelings about America, he is aware of the negative perceptions which already exist. In doing this, he has only added fuel to the fire-- a very unwise move for a US president.

    He didn't need to apologize for Obama to like him. Obama doesn't mind if someone says anti American things, he can totally relate. The Anti American stuff is probably what got him into the White House.

    So uh.. if two Americans were killed by soldiers, how would America respond?

    ''KILL THEM'' ''WE DEMAND THEIR HEADS ON STICKS'' ''*RACIAL SLURS*'' ''ALL (insert country/religion/group here) ARE EVIL AND SHOULD DIE''

    Wait, no I'm wrong, it's not like people were dancing in the street when Osama was killed or anything.
