President Obama Hangs Out With Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder in Hawaii

I'm so jealous!!



President Barack Obama is closing out his Hawaii vacation by hanging out with Pearl Jam rocker Eddie Vedder.

Obama took his daughters, Sasha and Malia, to visit with Vedder and his family in Kailua, not far from where the Obamas are renting a vacation home. They spent less than half an hour with Vedder.

The White House describes Vedder as a friend of the Obamas. In 2012, the lead singer performed at a fundraiser for Obama's re-election campaign in Florida. The visit comes on the last day of his two-week vacation on Oahu.

Fox News has just learned that Barack Hussein Obama has been seen consulting with a man, Eddie Vedder, known for, among other things, having inspired the sort of mainstream rock music epitomized by the much reviled *foreign* band Nickelback. Some speculate Obama may be considering replacing the national anthem with a Pearl Jam song, or even one by Nickelback or Staind.

Also, Eddie Vedder is short. And Barack Hussein Obama is still black. And probably gay. And a Muslim. And Vedder is probably a gay Muslim, too.

Fox News Out.

Obama is embracing a Buddhist concept, therefore this is proof that he hates Christianity!
