| O say can’t she sing? Beyoncé’s dazzling rendition of the National Anthem at President Obama’s inauguration was a total fake — with the megastar lip-syncing as the Marine Corps Band merely pretended to play its instruments, sources said yesterday. The Grammy-award winner’s decision to use a taped version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” stunned the first family, which handpicked her for the occasion. “Oh, my God! You’re best friends with Michelle and you faked it! I am very upset,” said a source close to the Obamas. “I would like my three minutes back.” Beyoncé’s performance was a well-choreographed acting job.

Comments: Evidently, this is a very big negative deal.

A fake entertainer faking a song for a fake president´s inauguration. That´s all it is. I´m just sorry it had to be our national anthem.

Why not? The election results were fake and pre-recorded.

Her pregnancy was fake too. She was never pregnant. Check it out on Youtube - during some interview, as she sat down, her (fake) belly collapsed. She hunched over the whole interview and did not move. So, yeah, I can believe she faked singing. She´s also the one who said, after the election, "take that, mitches." She actually said Mitches. That´s us, you do the alphabet switch.

The main question should be " did Obama lip sync the oath?"

#1 beat me to it. I think, though, I am more disappointed that the Marine Corps Band would go along with the charade. I am embarrassed for them and the Marine Corps. What next, are the Marines going to pretend to shoot their guns in a battle?

Not much about this administration seems to be real, oh...except for the jr. high eye rolling. That seemed like a genuine display of juvenile behavior.

I saw a clip on FNC earlier. Usually a big clue to lip-syncing is the microphone held up close to the mouth to hide it when lip movement doesn´t match the sound track.

It´s not fake - it´s virtual. Like Obama. Like Leftism. All feel-good and make believe, fantasy in place of reality. This can work for a while. It can´t work forever.

Guess she didn´t feel that her voice could be trusted to carry it through. I have read that another performer, Kelly Clarkson did her vocal for real.

Too bad she had to fake it. The rendition that was played was much better than the usual pop singer showing off his or her range and adding notes and words not in the original version.

Watch for the Marine Band personnel to be demoted.

Who cares? This kind of thing is done all the time for various reasons. She prerecorded it. Big deal. There are so many really important things to get into. Lip syncing is not even slightly one of them.

I heard on the radio this morning that the Marine Corps took it back and said she didn´t lip sync but I´m not buying that at all. I´ll just note that Kelly Clarkson managed to sing along with the Marine Corps Band, live, in real time, no pre-recording. Is it possible Beyonce can´t sing and needs studio tweaking to sound the way she does?

I have no problem with using pre-recordings in a situation such as this. As I read recently, when it is that cold, the instruments don´t play well, and so they pre-recorded. What is troubling however, is the idea that the music business may have another Milli Vanilli on its hands if she is lip-syncing her concerts, etc.
As to her hair, I commend her colorist. The color isn´t as brassy as some I have seen.

I saw part of a concert of hers at a store being shown on the display tv´s. She was using autotune and was lip syncing. The notes were just mechanical.

I don´t know what is wrong with some people. This absolutely IS a big deal.
There is Joe Biden, right behind her, clapping and smiling as she hits the faked high notes. The Marine band forced to fake play.
Are we so jaded, so "it´s cool man, it didnt hurt anyone" in our thinking, that ethics just fall by the wayside?
This wasn´t a movie where someone lip synchs to Elvis. This was an inauguration. And part of it is faked, while other fake people stand around and act out fake admiration and fake playing of instruments. Then everyone claps about how "great" she is, when they were duped as to what they are hearing.
But it´s cool man, right? Would you object to your gardener, maid, babysitter, employee "faking" it too? How about the people who don´t have an issue with this, how about I fake tune your car up when you bring it to me for service?
Ethics are ethics, and right is right. Trash entertainer who is friends with a trashy administration.

Remeber folks this fake singer will be doing Super Bowl halftime show. Well this "Mitch" will make sure that I do a lengthy bathroom break or some snack replenishment. Either way she will not be viewed by me. It figures she faked singing our beloved national anthem. Look at venue. Fake president and fake singer. What else is new.

The president hasn’t attempted to distance himself from the Associated Press snooping campaign. To the contrary, he offered “no apologies.” To be blunt, he approves the most invasive breach of the First Amendment against any news organization in the history of the republic. No president has tried this and for good reason. We now have yet another media abuse story, in a way much more severe.The Post breaks the story that the Obama administration indulged in excruciatingly invasive spying on James Rosen of Fox News and, in an unprecedented move, asserted that his newsgathering is criminal.

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

In the days since the Internal Revenue Service first disclosed that it had targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, new information has emerged from both the Treasury Inspector General’s report and congressional testimony Friday that calls into question key statements made by Lois G. Lerner, the IRS’s director of the exempt organizations division.The clumsy way the IRS disclosed the issue as well as Lerner’s press briefing by phone were seen at the time as a public relations disaster.

The Obama administration’s sudden plunge into scandal territory has two aspects — the actual and the political. The first, and most important, has to do with what actually happened. Why did the administration promulgate a false account of the terror attack on Benghazi? Why did the Internal Revenue Service target conservative groups for special scrutiny? Why did the Justice Department act in an unprecedented fashion toward The Associated Press for publishing details of a foiled terror plot the White House was planning to discuss openly the next day?

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care
