WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – A rising chorus of congressional Republicans are calling on President Obama to acknowledge that the pop singer Beyoncé lip-synched during his inaugural festivities on Monday and resign from office, effective immediately.

“By lip-synching the national anthem, Beyoncé has cast a dark cloud over the President’s second term,” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky).  “The only way President Obama can remove that cloud is by resigning from office at once.”

While many in the media have blamed Beyoncé for the lip-synching controversy, Mr. Paul said, “We must remember that this happened on President Obama’s watch.”

Mr. Paul said that the White House’s refusal to comment on the Beyoncé crisis “only serves the argument that this President has something to hide.”

“If Beyoncé lip-synched the national anthem, how do we know President Obama didn’t lip-sync his oath of office?” he said. “If that’s the case, he’s not legally President. But just to be on the safe side, he should resign anyway.”

Mr. Paul also blasted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her testimony on Benghazi before the Senate today: “Her tactic of answering each and every question we asked her didn’t fool anyone.”

i'd be more outraged if obama was really an american. a fake national anthem performance somehow seems appropriate in this case.

And are any of them calling for Obama to resign like in the OP?  No, they aren't because that article (( and this thread )) was satire.     You seem to be making just as a big deal about this as the people you are complaining about.

So? All your links show is the vapidity of your typical left-wing shill news sources. They are the ones flapping their gums over "did she-didn't she". None of them mention Rand Paul. That was the satirical / comedy  part that apparently continues to elude you.

insert facepalm here.

I think his point is that people are making a big deal out of her lip syncing. Not so much the whole satire thing. Though I do think the satire thing is pretty darn funny and, as usual for the onion, pretty well demonstrative of the group it has its target eyes on.

If lip-synching is cause for being removed from office, the Republican Leadership in Congress and the Senate should have been gone long ago. They've talked about "serving the people" since the day they took office, but they haven't done one damn thing productive.

Here's a clue for  you BU-BU -- Barack Obama II (he's the president) is a real American. He was born in the same city and went to the same high school my mother did (albeit 40 years later), and nobody ever questioned her citizenship. 'Tis a pity that questions concerning your parentage can't be so easily doccumented.

As for the "fake national anthem performance," who says that's a bad thing? The singing, if not the performer, was flawless. If Beyoncé sang for herself, with no engieering, special effects, Autotune or anything else, there's no telling what sort of cat-fight "singing" we'd have been subjected to.

Word is she recorded herself earlier and had that going while she was singing. Either way, it was her singing. Could be she just wanted at least one good version of her singing come out.

More likely - Obomb knows his adoring mob will buy anything he's selling - he prolly thought what are the chances they're gonna recognize yet another fruad like - is Beyonce's overwrought caterwauling real or memorex.    :idk:
