Gene Simmons on Barack Obama: 'He's Been a Piss-Poor President'

This past week (Oct. 12), the famed Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp opened up its brand new facility in Las Vegas, Nev., where the camp will now be based. Noisecreep was on site for all the fun and will be bringing you a series of exclusive videos and interviews throughout the rest of the month.

In addition to its new rehearsal and recording studios located just off the strip, the Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp also unveiled its new showpiece within the spectacular MGM Grand Hotel - two state of the art rehearsal/recording "pods" located right on the casino floor, with viewing windows so that passersby by can observe the rock star/camper interactions. The Vegas-based concept was the brainchild of camp founder David Fishof who has been working closely with the hotel to forge a co-branding relationship that seemed to go very well in its inaugural week.

KISS legend Gene Simmons was the headline teacher at camper for this session, and as you'll see in upcoming reports, he took his job very seriously.

Noisecreep chatted with Simmons after he finished up his very first camper sessions at the MGM, and he shared with us his thoughts about the campers, the acclaimed new KISS album Monster, and the upcoming Presidential election.

Technically it really is silly for everyone to be getting in a 'pissing' match over Simmons' views...accept it for what it is (an opinion) and the only reason it's being published nationally is because of Simmons' notoriety.
The only good thing about this blog is that we can all express our political views without the CIA or FBI knocking on our doors accusing us of treason and/or being an enemy of the state.

I am not surprised at Gene Simmons comment!He is a fat ,old man living on past glory.Now he shows his ignorance too.If it had not been for Bush and the war,we would not be in this mess!It took 8yrs. To screw us up,we need at least that much to straighten us out!(W.Howell)

Never understood why liberal weenies are so hateful, mean spirited and violent. You boys need to be hittin the Vicodin and watching cartoons. lighten up. Bush didn't stick us 16 trillion in debt and blow off an entire presidence getting a health bill that congress won't fund...uh, cause we're BROKE.

Relax, cheeseball.

Racist, you got 40 acres and a mule and 60 years of welfare and affirmative action.

Next thing you know you'll want white women, BMW's and class.

Sheesh.

...............and you, Gene Simmons have been a piss poor example of a man. What kind of a man would cheat on his mate and the mother of his children, left and right? Obviously, your family never came first.

Honestly, who cares about what this man has to say. This country is going to **** not because of who is leading it, but because of who is living in it. Were all fat, lazy, overspending Americans that cant wipe our own asses without sending a tweet or facebook update about it. We need to get our **** together, turn off the tvs and computers and start doing things to become truly happy. Ohhh, that includes your cell phones too.
