After all the madness we have had to deal with this week, we deserve some good cheer.
Who better to provide it than our very own singing president, Barack Obama.

Ladies and gentlemen, for your viewing pleasure, I present to you, the President of the United States!

well done sir.

That was short, but every bit as cool as Bill Clinton playing his sax solo, imo.

10. What a beautiful song, haven't heard it in years. Thanks kpete, for this all your work here.

Obama sounded a lot like the original to me:

11. This is the third post I've seen about this, and I play it again each time

Also, I was downthread when he sang, so I wasn't watching him- try it with just listening and not watching . . .

I want this clip on the tongue of each and every American- the ultimate earworm.

So does Michelle get to hear the complete version of this song when he's got her alone, just the two of them?

12. That'll revive Obama Girl's crush!

Man, he is a charmer.

[whathehell]

14. Yes, he IS a charmer.

I was thinking EXACTLY that when I saw this clip...That SMILE of his is to die for!

[whathehell]

13. He sounded good!

I saw Jamie Fox kid him about his dancing once,

I hoped his singing was better...and it was!
