"SNIP.........................................
Think well get to see President Obamas stellar dance moves again? After online outrage over rapper Psys anti-American performances in 2002 and 2004 surfaced, it appears the YouTube sensation will still be performing at the White House as scheduled. Psy issued an apology for the rap on Friday.

(18,807 posts)There was a rather effusive apology, and it was not the "I'm sorry you walked into my verbal fist" type, and so on.
The whole furore was pretty much a conveniently manufactured thing that started after O'Reilly started ranting about this weird North Korean(sic) that people were suddenly interested in.

(2,584 posts)He did not write those lyrics.
He sang them with the group who did write the song. The performance was in response to two young Korean girls being run over by a tank driven by a US serviceman.
The lyrics were over the top, yes, but I can imagine that a lot of people in the US would not be reasonable if that sort of tragedy were to happen here.
Besides, any bruhaha started my Billo deserves to be ignored.
