Lady Gaga Visits the White House

The White House security staff better be on full alert today, as they've got someone of genuine importance on the premises…

Pop superstar Lady Gaga is taking her mission to end bullying to the White House. Gaga met Tuesday with members of the White House Office of Public Engagement about the issue, according to an administration official.

She will not meet with President Obama who traveled to Kansas.

Oh, right. The President is "in Kansas."

Isn't that the exact same excuse that the exact same excuse that FDR used to used to dress up as "Betty Grable"?
