GOP demands Obama resignation over Beyonce lip-synching scandal

“’By lip-synching the national anthem, Beyoncé has cast a dark cloud over the president’s second term,” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky).  “The only way President Obama can remove that cloud is by resigning from office at once.’

“'While many in the media have blamed Beyoncé for the lip-synching controversy,' Mr. Paul said, ‘We must remember that this happened on President Obama’s watch.’”
