Obama Taps Jon Bon Jovi to Serve on White House Council, Richie Sambora Said to be Outraged…

Obama digs chick rock, who knew?…

(WaPo)- Looks like all those years of performing for Democratic candidates has paid off: President Obama is tapping rocker Jon Bon Jovi to serve on a new presidential advisory council.

The White House announced Tuesday that Bon Jovi (or is it just Jovi?) will join the new 25-member White House Council for Community Solutions, a panel established to provide advice on “the best ways to mobilize citizens, nonprofits, businesses and government to work more effectively together to solve specific community needs.”

The 2009 Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act established the panel, which also includes eBay CEO John Donahoe and Starbucks Vice President Paula Boggs and Rockefeller Foundation President Judith Rodin.

Jovi, the formerly big-haired rocker, is a well-known Democratic Party supporter who once made a cameo in support of fictional Democratic presidential candidate Matthew Santos on NBC’s “West Wing.”

More recently, Bon Jovi performed at Obama’s inaugural concert and promoted the Obama administration’s United We Serve initiative during his recent world tour.

    “The 2009 Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act….” What the fuck? What is this panel serving America besides a bag of shit at a high price tag?

    C’mon folks, lay off Barry. He’s added Bon Jovi because it takes him back to his coke snorting days.

    Phrases like “mobilize citizens”and “specific community needs” give off a whiff of eau de reelection campaign. A ~rock star, every hipster’s favorite coffee shop, and a successful internet auction site is a pretty strong lineup to reinvigorate the 18-30 crowd.

    Evil, yes. Stupid, no.

    Obama has lost his mind.

    bon jovi should be turning this down if he knows what is good for him. He’s siding with a heavily sinking ship, and he’ll lose fans as a result.

    The world’s biggest celebrity is most comfortable with fellow celebrities. Shocking stuff.

    Remember what I said about the “West Wing” series being a prototype and testing ground for a Democrat as President? Do you remember that Bon Jovi appeared in at least two episodes with Jimmy Smits? Any bets the Nielsen ratings were used to chart for popular ideas that would sell to the public?

    Just saying…

    Jon Bon Jovi has been socializing heavily in the Hamptons for a long time. He is one of the elite rich leftists out here.

    “How much will that cost?”

    Yes, this is all that matters. How much money will we be paying a murder of morons to sit around and pontificate on their own self perceived aweseomeness?

    This yankee agrees, Grizz. I was already offended that Jon Bon Blowme is trying to go Country.

    Years of inhaling a sticky vapor mist…hair spray abuse if you will…has caused Johnny’s brain to become covered with a thick, gummy substance that slowly rots logic and eventually causes terminal cerebral toxicity.
    Pray for John!

  24. Matt Damon's Brain says:
    December 15, 2010 at 10:43 am

    …and in light of John’s newly invigorated progressivism…I submit that he would have no issue with and he would consider it “only fair” if his music is redistributed to those who are financially unable to pay for any of his CDs.
