Q Mr. President, music is one of our largest exports the country has. Currently, every country in the world -- except China, Iran, North Korea, Rwanda and the United States -- pay a statutory royalty to the performing artists for radio and television air play. Would your administration consider changing our laws to align it with the rest of the world?
THE PRESIDENT: Help. (Laughter.) Maybe you've never had a President say this -- I have, like, no earthly idea what you're talking about. (Laughter and applause.) Sounds like we're keeping interesting company, you know? (Laughter.) Look, I'll give you the old classic: contact my office, will you? (Laughter.) I really don't -- I'm totally out of my lane. I like listening to country music, if that helps. (Laughter.)
I don't expect the president to know all the laws. He probably doesn't know most. The part that I find offensive in this is not that he really has no clue and comes off sounding like a complete and utter idiot. The really offensive part, is that he listens to country, "if that helps".

It's quasi-political, pseudo-anti-religious, semi-socially-conscious, and completely random. It's my blog.

By the way, I didn't realize you actually wrote in your blog frequently, now I will have to check it often!
