Oh, it is Obama. No wonder it is an issue in the first place.

If Beyonce states she sang, then she sang. The distance between the band director and the platform she performed is significant enough.

The nation owes her and the band director an apology. They are only guilty of seeking to have a flawless program. We loved it. President Obama was honored with a magnificent performance of the Star-Spangled Banner. It was perfect and I thank them.

I'm hoping for a flurry of retractions. A Marine spokesperson said yesterday that she couldn't confirm or deny that Beyoncé wasn't lip-syncing, and pretty much every media outlet assumed that was an admission. On NBC Nightly News, Brian Williams said that Beyoncé wasn’t lip-syncing, but, “in effect, lip-syncing”; Jon Stewart's jokes took it as a given that she faked it; NPR is wringing its hands NPR-ily.
