Oh, dear. James Taylor is trending on Twitter this afternoon, after his performance at President Obama’s Inauguration.
James Taylor performs "America the Beautiful." He's a favorite of Pres Obama and ardent campaigner for him.

James Taylor is trending. Why the sudden interest. Even my lunch wasn't worth discussing today

And, not in the good way, for some. “Your smiling face”? More like your giggling madly face.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker is a fan.
Love James Taylor. Singing phenomenal rendition of America The Beautiful. "America, God shed His grace on thee." #inaug2013

But, then again, he also liked the Inaugural poem. No, really.
Rep. Cantor liked Taylor’s performance. As Twitchy reported, he was not a fan of the poem, though.
Enjoyed listening to James Taylor at today's Inauguration Ceremonies! pic.twitter.com/Lxn3yAMV

Some snarky Twitter users bring the funny after Taylor’s performance.
James Taylor, everyone. Get the tear blankets out.

James Taylor is the prefect guy to play at this farce. Cliched, cheesey, from the past, sucky. He perfectly sums up progressivism. #Caring

Others? Not so much. They just aren’t fans and make no bones about it.

Ah, youth! Time for another binder? President Obama is having trouble with his binders full of women. Looks like his binders full of old, white guys need to head to the used binder store, too.
Hip party of diverse youth & stuff. RT @vodkapundit: James Taylor? How very #Forward.

Zing! Progressives of pallor strike again.
Of course, out came the oh-so-post-racial remarks, just like with Kelly Clarkson’s performance.
Nothing says "trying to please old white America" more than James Taylor #inauguration #OutOfPlace

Mommy X just said that James Taylor was there to sing for the white people. *tears*
— Sasha X. Nevermind (@xsashagirl) January 21, 2013
Ok, white people. James Taylor is on. This is your moment. Soak it up.
— Jaclyn Friedman?? (@jaclynf) January 21, 2013
RT @armlessphelan: James Taylor is how you remember Obama is half white.
— M i c h e l l e (@heymeeshi) January 21, 2013
With both James Taylor and Kelly Clarkson, it's obvious Obama's going for the "white people with no taste" vote.

The choices of Kelly Clarkson & James Taylor seem so white on this MLK day inauguration that it's like a summit for albinos. #inaug2013
