Band played Mitt's music at Obama's Fourth of July party

7/5/2012

President Obama and his family spent the Fourth of July hosting a number of military families on the South Lawn of the White House for an evening of barbeque, fireworks and Mitt Romney's campaign music. Wait, what? In what the White House pool report described as an "awkward moment," the Marine Corps band played "It's America," a Rodney Atkins country song that frequently soundtracks Romney's campaign events. But the song-snafu didn't put a damper on the evening, which also included a concert by Brad Paisley. Hear that, Mitt? You might want to scratch "Whiskey Lullaby" and "Mud on the Tires" from your playlist.
