Radically liberal singer Bono of U2 dedicated his song “All I Want Is You” to First Lady Jill Biden during a performance in Las Vegas last weekend.
Bono dedicates a song to Jill Biden
Before performing his 1988 hit song “All I Want Is You,” Bono interrupted his show to say he wanted to dedicate it to “one woman in particular,” who turned out to be Jill.
“This song, when we wrote it, I tried to write the lyrics from the point of view of the woman or the bride, in this case, which is pretty arrogant, I guess,” Bono, 63, explained. “It was a trick for me to get to the lyrics I was playing about myself.
“So tonight I want to dedicate it to all the great women in our lives,” he continued. “Our partners, our mothers, our daughters, all the women in the U2 crew, all the great women in our audience that we feel we know, and all the great women in parts of the world going through very difficult circumstances that we couldn’t Never Know.”
“And one woman in particular who is with us tonight,” Bono concluded. “She IS a teacher, she is your First Lady. So this is for Jill Biden. It’s a wedding song.

Social media users respond
According to The Hill, Biden had flown to Las Vegas that day for a campaign event aimed at women voters. Unfortunately for both her and Bono, though, social media users have made it known that they’re not fans of her dedication to her.
“I just threw up in my mouth…” one user commented, according to Newsweek. Another added: “That guy is such a cheater.”
“I’m so happy I decided not to go to the sphere… eewwe,” a third user wrote, with a fourth commenting“Bono from U2 dedicates a song to Jill Biden, well that’s all very nice, but I don’t understand how so many of these supposedly intelligent people can actually believe what the left is selling, what the left is selling is chaos, nothing good in This. “
Bono has long been a close friend of the Bidens. Last year, he was one of 26 guests the first lady invited to her husband’s State of the Union address.
“Each of these individuals was invited by the White House because they personify issues or themes that the President will address in his speech, or embody the policies of the Biden-Harris Administration working for the American people,” his office told CNN during the press conference. time.

President Biden honors Bono
In 2022, President Joe Biden honored Bono and the rest of U2 at the White House.
“From this Irish-American president in a White House designed by Irish hands, thank you for all you have done and the way you have lifted people up,” President Biden said at the time, according to the Irish Times.
“Seeing each other, seeing ourselves in each other, uniting in common cause – tonight we celebrate a truly exceptional event. . . group of artists,” she continued. “Right now we would do well to remember when there is too much hate, too much division and too much anger in America and, frankly, around the world, how [U2′s] The song says, “We are one, we are not the same, we can support each other.”
With President Biden more unpopular than ever, all Bono is achieving by gushing about his wife is showing the world how out of touch with reality he really is. Bono can venerate the Bidens all he wants, but that will do nothing to improve their chances of remaining in the White House after this year.
