Now that Obama, or as he is known in some circles, the Madhi, has gotten a Nobel Peace Prize, can Lady Ga Ga be far behind? She’s due up in 2010. Obama has already admitted he has taken a back seat to her:
She [Lady Ga Ga] sat front-and-center at the black-tie Human Rights Campaign Gala in the ballroom of the Washington Convention Center, where 3,000 gay advocates and allies clinked glasses and liberally exercised the right to give standing ovations (she got two). HRC President Joe Solmonese says she was an obvious invite —"She pushes boundaries and brings people along" — and credited her for the dinner's rapid sellout. Even the president of the United States knows his place. "It is a privilege to be here tonight to open for Lady Ga Ga," Obama said during his remarks.
