President Obama Quote

DateThursday, February 25, 2010 at 6:37PM

(This double-post day will probably be a rare occurrence, but I had to share this quote that was too long for Twitter or Facebook.)

As quoted in the most recent Rolling Stone (March 4, 2010, #1099, p 18), during a recent concert at the White House:

"It's easy to sing when times are good. But it's hard to sing when times are rough. But times like that are precisely when the power of song is most potent." - President Barack Obama, Feb 9, 2010.
