Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry ended up hanging out with Obama on Air Force One the other day after they ran into each other at a Florida airport. They took some pictures together, and Perry seemed pretty excited about getting to meet the President. "He's pretty amazing, you know?" Perry said the next day. "Being a Republican, I still have a lot of respect for the office, you know? Sitting there with the Commander-in-Chief and leader of the free world...it was really cool."

But not all of Aerosmith thought it was really cool, apparently. As Blabbermouth points out, drummer Joey Kramer replied to a photo of Perry, Tyler, and Obama tweeted from the Aerosmith account by angrily stating that this particular hangout was "not representative of Aerosmith."

Although Kramer is "not saying who I support," he has in recent weeks retweeted several messages in support of Donald Trump and against Obamacare. He also attended the Republican presidential debate in August 2015 as a personal guest of Trump's (along with Steven Tyler, who later told Trump to stop using "Dream On" at campaign events).
