Paul McCartney Slams Bush: ‘Nice To Have A President Who Knows What A Library Is’

video
» 83 comments

Meet Paul McCartney: political flashpoint. McCartney performed for President Obama, the first family and a number of other stars at the White House last night as part of a show celebrating his winning the Gershwin Prize. After the show — and apparently after the President had left the room — McCartney thanked the audience and noted how nice it was to receive the award from the Library of Congress, and “in fact, after the last eight years it’s great to have a president who knows what a library is.” Snap! Cue look of amazement on Jerry Seinfeld’s face and loud cheers from the room.

The remark, meanwhile, struck Joe Scarborough as “completely unnecessary”: “That guy’s been my idol, you know what, I don’t have many idols, just sing your damn song.”

This isn’t the first wave McCartney’s concert for the President has made, last week Obama was criticized for holding the concert in the first place amidst the escalating crisis in the Gulf. Watch below. McCartney also serenades the First Lady with a rendition of ‘Michelle’.

    Liberalism once had something to do with liberty. But now it is just petty sarcasm and insults. Sir Paul is no different from the rest of Left. You could listen to them for a thousand hours and never hear anything that resembled an idea. All the more ironic that this comment mentions libraries…..Maybe the Leftists should visit one and pick up some books by the first liberals, people like Adam Smith or John Stuart Mill.

  • writer

    Now Paul. Do we go to England and insult the queen?

  • JohnSimpson

    Paul, just STFU and sing, limey!

  • taxed

    Of course we know that Obama knows what a library is because we have seen his college transcripts…oh wait, nevermind…

  • Penguin60

    Did anyone else hear that sonic boom when Paul was removing his head from barry’s a$$. Have another veggie burger, sir paul.
    You like this guy we get it, but leave your insults at the Cliffs of Dover.

    Nice to have a president that can’t make it to Arlington on Memorial Day, but can make it back for Paul’s concert that very day.

  • paulmdoro

    Man you guys get awfully worked up about the political beliefs of a musician.

  • Liberty – Not Redistribution

    Mean while, the 1000th US serviceman was killed in Afghanistan on Monday, unemployment is just under 10%, our national debt is over $13 trillion dollars, and we spend about $300 billion a year on interest payments alone for our debt.

    I’m glad Obama can forget about these problems and take time out of his schedule to partake in such extravagance.

  • susanr5

    Ah Paul, never was the brains of the bunch anyway.

    And does Ringo now get completely ignored in all the “Let’s party with a Beatle while the world goes to hell” events? Or is it just that he has more class?

  • paulmdoro

    Come on LNR. Bush spent nearly 20% of his presidency on vacation, despite two wars and a worsening economy. Why was he unable to take time out of his vacation schedule to focus on such serious problems?

  • Liberty – Not Redistribution

    It’d be nice to have a President that knows there are 50 states, not 57.

    Good on you Paul….so many of the problems we’re facing right now are because of a lack of ethical and intelligent leadership in the past for sure.

  • writer

    Did Paul vote for the queen?

  • stoogedudes

    Why does stories like these make Mediaite? I’m starting to think that it’s put up on here to get the rightists on here whining about how arrogant a leftist they think Paul McCartney is now that he said this…forget that he is one of the most significant contributors to our culture, or any culture.

    Who cares what Paul McCartney says? Who cares what Jon Voight says? They are musicians/actors who have political points of view, and while we may not agree with them on everything, that doesn’t take away the great work they have made over the years. I disagree with Jon Voight immensely, but I still think he is a terrific actor (Baby Geniuses 2, notwithstanding).

    I didn’t agree with Bu$h’s time off either. However, during Bush’s 8 years, the average unemployment rate was 5.4%. We’ve currently got stagnation, even though Obama promised that if the Stimulus Bill passed, unemployment wouldn’t go above 8%.

    Actually, Righter, one doesn’t vote for the monarch. It is hereditary, like Male Pattern Baldness. The British and the Northern Irelanders vote for local representatives to the House of Commons in the Parliament. Those local representatives then vote, by party block, for the Prime Minister. For more on British Parliamentary Democracy, see Wikipedia.

    Really King? They don’t vote for the monarchy?? Really?? Geeee!

    Again, Glynnis shows what a liberal hack she is.

    Respect for the office yes. Respect for Obama, not even a little bit. Has he shown ONE bit of respect for those who dare to disagree with him. In his words, we should be thanking him and not criticizing him.

  • paulmdoro

    Yeah, I kind of miss the dry-drunk ol’ fake airman a little, I admit.
    Bashing Obama is not nearly as fun, though at least equally warranted but for very different reasons.

    Right – because we’re supposed to think George W. Bush wasn’t a reader? Excuse me, Sir, but perhaps I can direct your attention to a WSJ piece written by Karl Rove, who regularly competed with Mr. Bush on the number of books they each read. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123025595706634689.html

    According to the column: “There is a myth perpetuated by Bush critics that he would rather burn a book than read one. Like so many caricatures of the past eight years, this one is not only wrong, but also the opposite of the truth and evidence that bitterness can devour a small-minded critic. Mr. Bush loves books, learns from them, and is intellectually engaged by them.”

    In 2005, he read 95 books. In 2006, he read 58 nonfiction titles, 8 on current events, 6 on sports; nearly half of his reading was history and biography, including: Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Carnegie, Mark Twain, Babe Ruth, King Leopold, William Jennings Bryan, Huey Long, LBJ and Genghis Khan to Andrew Roberts’s “A History of the English Speaking Peoples Since 1900,” James L. Swanson’s “Manhunt,” and Nathaniel Philbrick’s “Mayflower.” Besides eight Travis McGee novels by John D. MacDonald, Mr. Bush tackled Michael Crichton’s “Next,” Vince Flynn’s “Executive Power,” Stephen Hunter’s “Point of Impact,” and Albert Camus’s “The Stranger,” among others. In his last two years in office, he read another 91 books.

  • MichelleF

    Homie,
    Considering, as was pointed out before, that Obama thinks there are 57 states, I think I’d be quiet.

  • paulmdoro

    Folks, it is pointless to get all worked up about Paul McCartney’s Bush-bashing. Do I care what Ted Nugent says about politics? Of course not.

  • MichelleF

    More stupid things he’s said Homie:

    ”I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

    “UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems.” –attempting to make the case for government-run healthcare, while simultaneously undercutting his own argument, Portsmouth, N.H., Aug. 11, 2009

    “It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” –speaking at a San Francisco fundraiser about his troubles winning over some small-town, working-class voters, April 11, 2008

    “One such translator was an American of Haitian descent, representative of the extraordinary work that our men and women in uniform do all around the world — Navy Corpse-Man Christian Brossard.” –mispronouncing “Corpsman” (the “ps” is silent) during a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, Washington, D.C., Feb. 5, 2010 (The Corpsman’s name is also Christopher, not Christian)

    “I’ve now been in 57 states — I think one left to go.” —at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon, May 9, 2008

    “The Cambridge police acted stupidly.” —commenting on a white police officer’s arrest of black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. at his home in Cambridge, Mass., at a news conference, July 22, 2009. Obama later had to convene a “Beer Summit” at the White House to help tamp down the controversy stirred by his remark

    “I’m here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis.” –speaking via satellite to the Democratic National Convention, while in Kansas City, Missouri, Aug. 25, 2008

    “Just this past week, we passed out of the out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee — which is my committee — a bill to call for divestment from Iran as way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don’t obtain a nuclear weapon.” –referring to a committee he is not on, Sderot, Israel, July 23, 2008

    “Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under a McCain…administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.” –Amman, Jordan, July 22, 2008

    “On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.”

    “The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know, you know, there’s a reaction that’s been bred in our experiences that don’t go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that’s just the nature of race in our society.”

    “Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions.” –exasperated by reporters after a news conference

    “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” –on a Kansas tornado that killed 12 people

  • Phocus2

    It’s always hard to watch as people get older and begin to lose control of themselves. Appears one of the first things to go for Paul is his looks…he looks like my grandma. Also in the missing category may be his class and respect. I bet no one dare say anything bad about the royal…right?

    I do wonder if Paul saw any of the ‘fallen heroes’ from the 57 states that the Total O saw in the audience last Memorial Day?

    I’m with stoogedudes here. Enjoy their talent but just because they are talented does not mean their
    political or social perceptions are. How seriously can you really take the remark other then to marvel
    how little Sir Paul knows about President Bush. He obviously doesn’t even know Laura Bush was a
    librarian.

  • stoogedudes

    I agree with your first part, balpert, but the second part I would also take with a grain of salt. It’s a running joke that Bush isn’t very bright. I know Bush is a smart guy, he just isn’t great in certain situations and he flubs from time to time, and the narrative that he’s an idiot caught on with Will Ferrell on SNL. I don’t think Bush is an idiot, but I laugh my ass off every time I hear or see a “Bush-is-an-idiot” joke. Just like I laugh every time I hear a “Clinton-is-a-sex-maniac” joke.

    Again, it’s amazing the name-calling toward Paul McCartney because of that one phrase he said. Simply breathtaking to see people take his political views THAT seriously on here.

    “You say you want a revolution.
    Well, you know,
    We all want to change the world.
    You say you’ll change the Constitution,
    Well, you know,
    We all want to change your head.
    You tell me it’s the institution,

    You better free your mind instead.
    But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,
    You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow.
    Don’t you know know it’s gonna be all right.”

    I guess the Obama Administration never heard these lyrics, and it’s clear that Sir Paul McCartney is clueless as to what and how the President is doing. Or maybe he isn’t clueless and just doesn’t believe these lyrics. Who knows?

    Well, I take that back. They (the Obama Administration) probably heard this song and realized they had to stop going against “the man” and become “the man” to get things done. Evolution, not revolution. But forget about the Chairman Mao part and changing the Constitution. ‘Cause who doesn’t love Chairman Mao as a political philosopher and who on earth loves the Constitution?

    W responds . . .

    “I know whut a libarry is! I used to do ‘blow’ back in the stacks. I married me a libarrian. Don’t that smarten you?”

    George actually spent more like ONE-THIRD of his “presiduncy” on vacation – a record-setting 1,000+ days. See: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-4728085-503544.html

    I have mixed feelings about that. Had he actually done any work, he would also have done even more damage.

    The media recount in Florida gave the election to Gore.

    The Constitution indicates that the individual states control their elections, including the presidency. The Supes exceeded their constitutional authority by giving the election to Bush.

    “Without a teleprompter, Obama is not any smarter than W.”

    Without a hand, $imple $arah is . . . even simpler?

    Unlike Bush, Obama helps create what he reads on those ‘prompters. He doesn’t just READ books, he WRITES them. Even if Bush is a big reader – more power to him – It’s absurd to compare him to Obama.

    “We fought a war two hundred years ago , so we didn’t have to care what people of Sir Paul’s ilk thinks. See War of 1812″

    You might recall a minor “dust-up” back in 1776.

    “Gallup Poll: Obama Weekly Approval Average Dips to New Low of 46%”

    I wouldn’t gloat:

    Jan. 15, 2009
    “Bush’s Popularity Reaches Historic Lows
    CBS News’ Kathy Frankovic

    “Bush Likely To Leave Office As The Least Popular President In Polling History’

    “. . . Never in his entire second term did even half of Americans approve of the way he was handling his job, according to our CBS News Polls. Indeed, for the last year and a half, George W. Bush’s approval rating has never risen above 30 percent — a lower figure than every single rating CBS News measured for his father. ”

    “At least Bush had enough sense not to marry a one-legged former hooker.”

    Now THERE’S a sterling recommendation for the guy! Sheesh.

  • TfT

    Too funny on the vaca meme. Of course, our liberal media idiots tell us that when Obama goes on vacation, that a President is NEVER really on vacation. Of course, that standard only applies to democrats, when republican Presidents go on vacation it’s different.

    Oh the double standard applied by our idiotic, liberal media and their liberal media friends is just too funny. Is it any wonder that the majority of American’s think the press is biased, liberal lying bunch of scum?

The British Invasion of me’band called The BE’els that had so many of you baby boomer Tools thinking, Now This is what a British Phenom ‘Rock and Roll’ band is Supposed to Sound like, was nothing more than, shall we say, an “overrated”, bubble gum, teeny-bopper, malt shop, mop-top Crap con.

    As Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Aussie bands like AC/DC were, are and will Always Remain, Light Years Ahead of Us in terms of ‘Rock and Roll’ Band Street Cred!

    Zeppelin’s “Heartbreaker” lead into “Living Loving Maid”, for example. Or “Kashmir” and “Stairway To Heaven” versus “We All Live In A Yellow (F@cking) Submarine” or “I Wanna Hold Your Hand”?

    yeah, that’s rock and roll. lol. That’s not even Rockabilly on Training wheels! BO-ring. Much like a certain detached, too-cool-for-school, professorial President’s Speeches. It’s rock and roll for the functionally Retarded.

    Now let me be clear. Love, Love Me Do. You Know, I Love You. I’ll Always, Be True, So, YES, WE, CAN!

    OMG! I’M GETTING THE VAPORS!

    So lay off the Acid, Walrus. Because even most Libs now Know that Obama’s just another Chicago Politician, and Most Rock Fans figured out that Zepplin Rules the British ‘Rock & Roll’ Roost, a LONG time ago!

    Yellow Submarine and Band on the Run! LOL! What a Jagoff.

    “Too funny on the vaca meme.”

    Nobody’s laughing

    Nor are they expecting their prez to work 24/7. Even so, Bush set a record he shouldn’t be proud of.

    “our idiotic, liberal media ”

    We have a CORPORATE media, owned almost entirely by a relative handful of pot-rich conservatives. Sometimes the truth leaks out, anyway.
