I despise Obama's policies, I disparage his lack of leadership, and I don't care for him personally, but credit where it's due: that guy can sing, at least based on that little snippet.
Acting cool is the only thing this president is good at. Unfortunately, that's all he needs to win the support of most Americans. We get the president we deserve.
Dang, with that huge flag in the background, I'm surprised Obama didn't stride up on the stage wearing a chrome-plated helmet, ivory-handled .45's on each hip, smacking a riding crop against his leg all the while muttering, "Horse dung...Saturday Evening Post...carve out their living guts...fornicating..."
"at the Apollo"? Really? I'm surprised you didn't reference "Soul Train", the only other black singing reference you must know.
Regardless, in those few words he certainly showed more passion than John Ashcroft groaning out "Let The Eagles Fly".

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseUh, he actually was at the Apollo. Don't let that stop the racist stereotyping though.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAnd again hughman shows us who the true racist is.
It's a shame you have to see everything through the specter of race, hughman.

The fundraiser in the video was literally at the Apollo Theater in Harlem.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseGot to say, it is a great song--on my phone, I have Rev. Al's version as my personalized ringtone for my wife.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseHe was literally AT THE APOLLO. It wasn't some racial placeholder.
His pipes weren't bad there. He can carry a tune.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseNice try, but Obama actually was at the Apollo Theater in New York City yesterday.
But, of course, as a good liberal, you couldn't let reality get in the way of using the race card, right?

Had the fund-raising part been commensurate with the quality of the singing, a more appropriate song would have been: "Brother, can you spare a dime?"
To stay positive, Barry certainly sings better than he can throw a ball, for what that's worth.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAny ideas on how we can get him to quit his day job and pursue a career in music?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseGotta admit, he sounds pretty good.
