Fox News and its Fox News Nation are just plain haters. President Obama's birthday bash has gotten under their skin, so much so that they can't help but play the race card: Obama's Hip-Hop BBQ Didn't Create Jobs. Really? Then what did they call all those Texas-style shindogs and hoe-downs that his predecessor threw in the White House? Let's see, it seems to me that Jay-Z was the only rapper invited and so what? Suddenly the event is a hip-hop BBQ? So what if he invited a bunch of black celebrities? He is bi-racial and his wife is black. Um, did they expect just a bunch of white folks? Surely Fox News didn't expect the President and his wife to play Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers music, right? Shameful racebaiting. I guess what unnerved them is the fact that there were so many black people hanging out in the People's House.

Politico: The President’s private 50th birthday bash, not listed on his public schedule: His gift to the press corps was a travel/photo lid shortly after 4 p.m., prompting what pooler Julie Mason called “general cheering in WH workspace.” An hour later, the party started…
--… with dinner in the Rose Garden, accompanied by “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band. Then the First Lady and his daughters presented POTUS with a cake, and everyone moved into the East Room for performances that included R&B singer Ledisi, and Herbie Hancock. Stevie Wonder came up at the end and sang a medley ending in “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours.” DJ Cassidy played Motown, hip hop, and ’70s and ’80s R&B.
--The president asked everyone to dance -- and they did!
--DINNER: BBQ chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, pasta, salad.

One rapper doesn't a Hip-Hop BBQ make. Shameful race baiting from Fox News. No surprise there. I should also add, that a lot of young whites listen to hip-hop music as well, so it isn't just a black thing.
