Obama Jokes With The Eagles At Kennedy Center Honors Reception

President Barack Obama cautions Joe Walsh of the Eagles not to trash the White House like he once did a hotel room. "We want to get our security deposit back."
Walsh, Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmidt and the widow of Glenn Frey were at the White House in advance of the Kennedy Honors celebration.
This is the final Kennedy Honors that Obama will preside over while president.

[@pst3615]

Not only Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Timothy B Schmidt and Joe Walsh should have been there, but also Don Felder, Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon. Together they made the Eagles the greatest band ever.

[@realtyhaven]

How gullible can one be. I give you that he was well spoken and eloquent. But what did he accomplish??? He divided the country like no other President, he bashed America (eloquently) around the world, the economy was the worst, black unemployment at the highest, the worst black / white hatred he created, the worst police sentiment he spouted, Bashed Christians and Conservatives like they were unAmerican. Although all done very eloquently! The lists actually is much longer. PLEASE get educated and take your head out of the sand!!! I must say probably the worst President ever, if not the top two. People who believed him or voted for him - are the most politically uneducated and gullible ideologues!

[@johnflanagan9153]

Idolatry for a community organizer, and one-term do-nothing Senator does not equate to tangible results as a Commander-in-chief; Obama had eight years of his apologist, " Blame America World Tour, " and hoodwinked Liberal Dolts into believing he actually gave a shit about America.

@@jerryhill8281 not that they didn't want to be there as they deserved to be, they were excluded due to Henley and his oversized ego.

[@Iyamdisgustipated]

@@Sherry-vs2kn look at all the successful bands , they have to be alpha males or females so to speak and with that comes a bunch of great songs and music, just as the Beatles did ( together for 8 years ) they had all became rich and famous together and afterwards split up and had very successful careers as solo artists which brought them more fame and fortune and as they got older the ego's were set aside and said 95% of the time it was great, the media made the public think that the eagle's were ready to have a gun fight on stage which just wasn't so and they really didn't care about the lies that were being told about them, now granted those huge lies were based on small truths, they stayed together longer than 99% of marriages last so not too bad I would say.

[@Sherry-vs2kn]

J Doe I do agree with your comment here. With the Eagles there was to much ego flowing with Henley and Frey....can even throw Azoff in there to. Fielder was not invited due to standing up for himself with the law suit and Randy due leaving them. When he quit they knew they lost 99% of the voice/sound of the band. That shows with it taking a very long time to come out with The Long Run lp. Not the Tim can’t play or sing but no one could come close to Meisners voice and sound. Lots of bands have completely broke apart due to egos for sure, but those to should of still been honored.

[@Iyamdisgustipated]

@@Sherry-vs2kn very true, Randy Meisner was one in a million not only because of his talent but because he probably brought a calmness to the group, Randy Meisner did party but not even one tenth of the rest of the eagle's, Randy was a devout family man and although the money he made was great it was no where near what Henley and Frey made and Randy finally walked away from the Eagle's and gave up a lot to go back home to his wife that he loved so dearly and his children, such a humble man, I watched the Eagle's induction to the rock and roll hall of fame and Randy thanked his wife who was there,I think it was 1998, but at that time he had been married to her for 27 years so she was there when Randy had nothing and stayed with him when he would be on tour most of the year, they were truly in love

I dont like how he got kicked out of the band, but shit goes on that we will never be privy to and I can accept that. But to be so fucking bitter as to not invite your former band members to any awards or lifetime achievement honors, for a legacy in which they all fully contributed to is FLAT OUT WRONG!!! Also don't be fooled, as you can be absolutely certain Don Henley would have told the White House that the Eagles won't show up unless he gets to choose who goes. This is what makes some of these award things meaningless. That the White House accepts that kinda shit. They should have told Henley to fuck off and don't show up if it's like that.

Joking aside, Pres Obama spoke well of the Eagles, including Glenn. He was there that night.
