Here’s what President Obama had to say at the Human Rights Campaign gala about meeting Lady Gaga for the first time last week.
“But, as misguided as she is, Lady Gaga is talking about a real issue, real at least to the kids who are the victims of bullying. And Jamey Rodemeyer was the kid whose death pushed her to be so vocal about the problem—an issue this blog has harped on for a couple of years now. “At the HRC dinner Obama decided the incident was worthy of joking about. So he told the audience: “I also took a trip out to California last week, where I held some productive bilateral talks with your leader, Lady Gaga.” I also guess that Stepin Fetchit was the leader of the black community during the 20s and 30s.” Dead Kids and Presidential Jokes
