Speakeasy: John Podesta is familiar with Rebecca Black

“Politics is not easy, but it is fun. It doesn’t matter if your issue is marriage equality or reproductive freedom or creating jobs or getting Rebecca Black back on YouTube.”

President and CEO of the Center for American Progress John Podesta speaking Wednesday at the Campus Progress conference, the annual get together for college-age progressives, held this year at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Northwest D.C. Podesta received a loud cheer from the crowd when he referenced Black, the 14-year-old singer whose music video “Friday” became a YouTube sensation.
