The Beach Boys' Bruce Johnston had some heated words for President Obama while signing autographs for fans in New York on May 10th, according to TMZ.
"Obama? Unless you're interested in never having any money," said Johnston in a video clip when asked about the President. Johnston reportedly called Obama "an asshole" and suggested the president was a Socialist, but the exact quotes are hard to decipher from the clip.
Johnston was also unhappy with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, asking fans, "And who's the Republican asshole? Our guy isn't any good."
He finished with a barb towards a fan expressing support for Obama. "Wait until Obama doesn't have to try anymore," said Johnston. "You're fucked."

Hi, this is Amerigo Vespucci, and this is the portion of the post you CANNOT read UNLESS you are wearing your special DU Super Secret Subliminal Goggles©, or you are simpy SO BRILLIANT and PERCEPTIVE that you can READ and COMPREHEND words that, for the other 99.9% of the population, DO NOT EVEN APPEAR ON THIS PAGE.
YES, I DO have an agenda in this post, and it is to DENY Bruce Johnston his right to FREE SPEECH! It's not the idea that I DISAGREE with him...I just feel like messing with Bruce Johnston. After all, he wrote Barry Manilow's "I Write The Songs," and for that reason alone, he should be denied ALL of his rights.
So please respond to my post CONDEMNING Bruce Johnston as a human being, as a musician, and I PRAY TO GOD bigwillq isn't reading this post, because if there is ANYONE on DU smart and perceptive enough to discover my SUPER SECRET HIDDEN AGENDA, it is bigwillq. If bigwillq sees this thread, I will most vertainly be exposed for the fraud that I am. He truly is SMARTER and more PERCEPTIVE than ALL of us put together.
That is all. Remember to vote for Mitt Romney in November.

Dementia, Delirium, and willful political ignorance, also contribute greatly.

I was never a big fan of the Beach Boys. I went to high school in Honolulu (class of '68)
