President Obama’s joke about the Jonas Brothers was no laughing matter to one of the nation’s most popular boy bands.
The Jonas boys were among the celebrity guests attending the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington, D.C.
During his remarks, President Obama delivered zingers about Sarah Palin, John McCain, birthers, and even the Jonas Brothers.
“The Jonas Brothers are here,” the president said. “Sasha and Malia are huge fans. But, boys, don’t get any ideas. I have two words for you – predator drones.”
The quip drew laughter from the audience, but the brothers Joe, Kevin and Nick were not among them, according to the Washington Examiner.
The guys apparently took offense to the suggestion they might hit on underage girls.
“Seriously, we’re not pedophiles,” Nick told the Washington Examiner.
The Jonas Brothers are also Christians who earned national attention by wearing “purity rings” to signify their commitment to abstain from premarital sex.
"He will have to explain to the American people why his vision for bigger government, more spending, and higher taxes will work over the next four years when it hasn't worked in the past three and a half years.” – Sen. Rob Portman on President Obama
