After Monday's inauguration even President Obama was ready to hand over the keys to the democracy to Queen B. And then Lipsyncgate happened.
The one and only Sasha Fierce lip-synced the Star Spangled Banner.
Yea just, THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. Tell us it's all lies, Beyonce. What would Blue Ivy say?
Here in America, we're used to the politicians lying -- maybe even athletes doping. But our one rock, our nation's symbol of power, betrayed us all. So of course those that felt stabbed in their Bey-loving hearts took to their keyboards for some much needed 140 character catharsis.

I don't care that Beyonce lip synced? I would've been okay with a cassette playing while Beyonce just stood quietly on a large platform.— AJK (@pizzadreams) January 22, 2013
