As Sandy sank its teeth into the Eastern seaboard, Barack Obama readied himself with a discussion of the music on his i-pod.
As Hurricane Sandy barreled toward the Mid-Atlantic this morning, and the White House scrambled to get the commander in chief back to Washington, President Obama could be heard on the radio airwaves in battleground Ohio talking about his iPod.
“I’ve got a pretty good mix. I’ve got old school. Stevie Wonder and James Brown. I’ve got Rolling Stones. Bob Dylan. And then I’ve got everything from Jay-Z to Eminem to the Fugees to you name it,” Obama told DJ E.J. Greig of Cincinnati’s 101.1 The Wiz in a pre-taped interview.
“There’s probably not a group that you play that I don’t have on my iPod. So I’ve got some jazz, John Coltrane, Miles Davis. Got some Gil Scott Heron on there. You gotta mix it up,” he said. “It just depends on the mood I’m in.”
The seven-minute interview was taped Saturday during Obama’s campaign stop in New Hampshire. It’s unclear if any listeners found the chat discordant at a time of serious impending crisis, though the timing does illustrate a potential peril of pre-taping lighter interviews in advance of an anticipated event demanding somber presidential posture.

This wasn't the first time Obama was distracted by conversations about music. Obama was in it with Pimp with a Limp on September 11.
Obama: DJ Laz.
Laz: O-Bama!
Obama: “What’s going on, man?”
Laz: “How are you, sir?”
Obama: “Blessed and highly favored.”
Laz: It is an honor and pleasure to have the president of the United States. I’m humbled
Obama: “I’m the one who should be humbled. You’re big time. You’ve got Pitbull and Flo Rida and all these guys just beating a path to your door. And so I’m hoping I can get a little of that magic from you in this interview.”
Laz: I’m wearing a Miami Dolphins jersey
Obama: “You’ve got to start with that Dolphins thing. Did you see that HBO special Hard Knocks. That’s a pretty good show. As I recall, you guys didn’t win any… in the preseason”
Laz: Now I’m getting ragged on by the president of the United States
Obama: “I’m just saying you brought it up. My Bears – I’m feeling pretty good about them.”
He knows his tunes. He knows his sports. He just doesn't know what happened in Benghazi.
He's got priorities, man.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
I’d love to make him listen FOREVER to Justin Bieber!
@debraraes: what’s a justin bieber?
Nobody’s listening to conspiracy theories about Benghazi any more, except the ultra-conservative-right-wing—who’s still ready to be reinforced by listening to more conspiracy theories about soaring gasoline prices and global warming.
@Liberal1 (Objectivity):
I guess that’s why Obama left his line, ”and al Qaeda is on the run,” in his stump speeches…….OOOPS!
Obama dropped that line.
Right after the Benghazi attack was PUBLICIZED enough to humiliate Obama’s stupid narrative.
@Liberal1 (Objectivity):
Cleanup on Aisle 78
@Liberal1 (Objectivity): The conspiracy is all in the cover-up. It’s the Warren Commission all over again.
@Liberal1 (Objectivity): Hey stupid, there are no conspiracy theories. We have facts on the ground and 4 dead bodies. When Obama stands before a court to answer for what he did and did not do will be lollypop you get to suck on.
@Liberal1 (Objectivity): Ultra-conservative . . . nobody’s listening to your use of the term ultra-conservative either.
ultra-conservative
ultra-conservative
If you write that enough, do you think we’ll all become “ultra-conservatives?”
Obama never studied.
If he had he might have remembered this:
You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality. – Ayn Rand
@Liberal1 (Objectivity): Nobody is listening to your ignorance and stupidity. Too bad your head is so far up 0-blama’s butt you can’t see the truth. I’m surprised you haven’t blamed George Bush yet.
@Liberal1 (Objectivity): The conspiracy is that your o-blama blamed a video.
@Liberal1(objectivity) Wrong loon. The fact is the people ARE listening and will NEVER EVER let #BENGHAZIGATE#STANDDOWN 4 lives NEEDLESSLY Snuffed out by a CORRUPT POTUS, and his ‘staff’ GO! You don’t ‘like’ it? Tough! The KILLER POTUS will lose in a LANDSLIDE! DEAL WITH IT!
@Redteam: He is a singer with a incredibly ‘high’ and ‘annoying’ voice. If you ever heard the song “Baby, Baby”? That was ‘him’.
@Liberal1 (Objectivity): The ‘real’ conspiracy is that Abc, Cnn, Cbs, MSNBC, NBC are refusing to cover it. And whether or not ‘you’ like it; Obama has the blood of Innocent Americans on his hands. #STANDDOWN is ‘not’ just a ‘catch phrase’. BTW Benghazigate is not the only instance where Obama has blood on his hands. #Fast_and_Furious was HIS fault too.
@debraraes: Thanks, I don’t listen to that crap..
@debraraes:debraraes, you know how to get these lib networks:
To cover Benghazi Gate? Elect a Republican, they’ll figure out how to blame him for it. They’ll claim it was all staged by the Repubs to get Zero out of office.
Why are we in the mess we’re in?
Obama, a C Student.
Obama had a 2.6 grade point average while at Columbia!
Nan G

words words words OBAMA DON MEAN A THING,
IT DON MEAN A THING IF YOU DON HAVE THE SWING.
BAD A BAD A BAS
@Nan G:
Nan, I simply do not believe that number. The reason, not one person on the face of the earth ever saw Obama in a class at Columbia, no one was in a class with obama, no professor ever had him in a class. I don’t doubt that someone put some numbers in a file for him, but it is not based on anything Obama actually did at that school. It just didn’t happen. How is his story more credible than mine. At least I have millions of people on my side that did not see him in a class at Columbia, he has no one.
