For the U.S. of A. it’s hard to ignore what the big story of the week was. On Monday we came together for a moment of national pride, tradition, and (dare we say) unity to commemorate the beginning of President Obama’s second term. So naturally everyone wants to know if Beyoncé was lip-syncing or not.
Forget the fact that President Obama made history by being the first president to address same-sex marriage in his inauguration address.
Try not be distracted by President Obama’s choice of bibles— the Bible Abraham Lincoln used in 1861 at his first inaugural ceremony and a “traveling Bible” used by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Also, please completely ignore the fact that the openly gay Cuban-American poet Richard Blanco is the first Latino poet to be invited to read at the inauguration. Oh and he also happens to be the youngest.
After all, this whole lip-syncing issue is a national crisis. Beyoncé will be performing at the Super Bowl half-time show.
If she thinks its okay to phone in the national anthem at the inauguration, we shudder to think what she might do at this most sacred of all unofficial American holidays.
We can only hope that the strength of the Union will carry us through these trying times and on to a bigger and brighter tomorrow. God Bless America.
