Leave it up to Fox News, the HOLY network. Now they are “respecting” the present. When did this start?

I like cee lo, especially on the Voice but I thought what he did was disrespectful.

Ah sheesh, why it goes against my grain to be a celebrity fan. Some of them have little or no education at all, or if they are fortunate enough to educate themselves, they just don’t have the class to carry it off. There is a place and time for such a song, but not at a dinner in honour of The President of the United States, which is the most important position in the world. I also blamed the people working for the President. Cee Lo should have taken off the list of entertainers to perform had he not agreed not to abide by the rules.

respecting the “president”

I Like Cee Lo but what he sang and did were disrespectful. There’s nothing wrong in selecting a song appropriate for one’s audience. Poor judgment and tasteless. Less respect for him.

Yes that’s the name of the song but there’s a clean version. It was sang at some award show last year. He could have chosen to use that version at this event.

Ceelo sumed it all up. Is this what the dems think or what Obama is telling whomever disagrees with him

Ok, I was all annoyed about this moment with Cee-lo and now I am not even believing this stupid lady saying the comment about the president being the cool dad and the country needing a real adult instead. Here’s a note for both of you: Cee-lo should know better and while that language might be cool in concert, respect for the president should have told you not to do that crap. Now to stupid lady and phony host swearing too much that they never heard of Cee-lo (you protest to much and probably have all 3 of his cds but back to my point) While the entertainer was inappropriate neither of you could handle the stress and pressure of making real life decisions that effect a whole nation like this “real adult” has. All you can do is sit and be Fox news cool a@!holes and make snide remarks. Grow up time is in full effect for everyone. I hate ridiculous people regardless of political party!

Leave the president alone. I see nothing wrong with him not knowing what the man was going to wrap. Then who were they suppose to have at the fundraiser? Somebody you want to be there? He didn’t do the sign language nor say the bad language. I am sure he has heard worse words from the KKK, Tea Party, Rush Lombard(sp?) and fellow prejudice politicians.

Why does profanity have to be used? Seems as though people expect and accept the unsanitized version of behavior in society. NOT!

I am absolutely, positively sure Ceelo was not referring to the President when he was singing that song.

It’s amazing to me that “news” people don’t know who Cee Lo Green is– Rush Limbaugh did the same act on his radio show, pretending he never heard of Cee Lo as well as totally misrepresenting the news by implying Cee Lo had performed the whole song and never switched back to the “safe” lyrics. I now think the sniping that FOX and Limbaugh only have really old, white-male, out of touch people in their audience may actually be true. “Forget You” in either the clean or original version is a hugely entertaining song–it’s joyous in its own way about overcoming adversity, even if it only on the surface is about a “woman done her man wrong”–it’s just as liberating as “I Will Survive” if you know that one. Thank goodness nobody asked Obama to explain this incident–the idiots would twist it to the president’s disadvantage no matter what he said about it.
