Sir Paul McCartney's cheap shot aimed at former President George W. Bush at a White House event on Wednesday has prompted House Minority Leader John Boehner to demand an apology from the Beatle.
McCartney literally gushed over President Obama throughout his East Room concert. “Getting this prize would just be good enough, but getting it from this president…” McCartney said letting his praise trail off as if there were vast volumes left unsaid.
The prize McCartney was given is the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, a lifetime achievement award bestowed by the Library of Congress. "After the last eight years, it’s great to have a President who knows what a library is,” McCartney quipped. [And of course, those in attendance laughed and cheered....]

How much reverence for the United States of America must B.O. and his administration have that a visitor to this country would feel free to openly insult a former U.S. President...while at the White House?!?! Would "Sir" Paul ever dare to insult Royalty in his OWN country? Of course not. I would have loved to see him escorted OUT a.s.a.p.
