During yesterday’s White House’s “Office Hours” Twitter chat, a commenter mentioned that the conversation was getting a little stale, so Obama Administration economic advisor Brian Deese sent him a little entertainment: Rick Astley’s music video for “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
In other words, Deese Rickrolled him.
Deese was on Twitter when user David Wiggs tweeted:
“This WH correspondence briefing isn’t nearly as entertaining as yesterday’s.”
Deese replied:
“@wiggsd Sorry to hear that. Fiscal policy is important, but can be dry sometimes. Here’s something more fun: tinyurl.com/y8ufsnp”
Given the lyrics, perhaps the White House is sending a thinly-veiled message to the American people:
Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
