    Are you insane? This is an amazing celebration of American music at the White House. Only a flat-out racist would call our President a "servant" (!). But aside from that, can you truly not appreciate this moment? He's the President, and he's honoring BB King and a bunch of legends, singing about his hometown, Chicago. (Incidentally, I'd rather watch this eight million times in a row than hear Kid Rock sing a duet about nationalism with Dubya.)
