On the same day a two star general was killed in Afghanistan, President Obama partied like it was 1980’s all over again, being serenaded by the great Lionel Richie — and top Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett was loving every minute of it.
Richie was at the White House Tuesday to entertain guests at the U.S.- Africa Leaders Summit dinner.
And while the White House pulled the plug on the media — literally, as CBS News’ Mark Knoller reported the plug was pulled on audio and video feed for the press after one song —Â Jarrett took to Twitter to show that there’ll be no such restraints placed on her, Twitchy.com reported.
She also managed to prove just how tone deaf this administration is:

The concert seemed to hit a nerve with Twitter users who’ve grown frustrated watching Obama fiddle as the world around us burns.

It was hard to miss the growing resentment toward an administration that hangs its hat on class warfare, even as they enjoying a lavish lifestyle available to few Americans. Recent stories that the national debt will top $20 trillion under this president didn’t help matters.
Here are a few responses, via Twitter:
@CathieNelsonBTI @vj44 @LionelRichie At least Nero had the class to fiddle to himself while Rome burned. Jarrett rubs it in your face.

@redsteeze @lionelrichie @vj44 Wow. The world is on fire and this is what this administration is doing? Unreal. — Kathleen (@katnandu) August 6, 2014
@vj44 Do you really think the America people, who are suffering under this President, really care? #ToneDeaf

@vj44: So glad you’re enjoying your @LionelRichie time on the taxpayer dime. Personally, I can’t afford concerts. #tgdn #tcot #pjnet — Dorothy Grissom (@DorothyGrissom) August 6, 2014
@vj44 And how much, exactly, are the American taxpayers shelling out for your little party? @RufusKings1776
