President Obama Sings "Let's Stay Together" For Al Green
by Free Britney at .President Barack Obama is probably not going to quit his day job (at least not for another year), but he did make a brief foray into R&B at a fundraiser last night.
The Commander-in-Chief burst into song while thanking Al Green, who had performed earlier at the same event, crooning a bar from "Let's Stay Together"
Obama then joked he hadn't been ushered off-stage. Watch:
It all happened at Manhattan's Apollo Theater late Thursday, when Obama stepped to the podium and veered from prepared remarks to thank Green.
Apparently not content to simply praise Green, Obama launched into "Let's Stay Together," warbling "I, so in love with you" ... complete with vibrato.
He stopped to laughter and applause, remarked that his staff didn't believe he'd do it, and that the Sandman hadn't come out to yank him outta there.
That would be Sandman Sims, a famous tap dancer who chased unpopular acts off-stage at the Apollo for decades. Sort of a Keyboard Cat predecessor.

Thank God for a President who is human and not some card board cut out that no one can relate to. When Obama took office there were no jobs, economy was on the brink of disaster and the worst president in history put us in a war we shouldn't have been fighting. Reed, where were you during the Bush years? BUSH caused all the choas and you expect the President fix his mess under the thumb of a republican house and congress. The poor man doesn't have a prayer to govern the Country like he want too. It is sad so many people are so blind to the facts.
Lets Stay Together.... thats going to have to be the theme song now...for his Re-Elect Obama campaign!!
Obama had a Democratic Congress his 1st 2 years - They were voted out and for good Reason. This Congress-They say no more Spending! This aint a Blank Check Presidency.
Obama has done more good for this country than Bush did in 8 years. If he had a Congress that was more interested in the good of our country than trying to see that he didn't get a second term, then more people would be working on our roads, bridges,snd schools that are falling apart.
Bill Clinton didn't have 20% unemployment. Clinton could close a deal & not take his Ball and go Home if he didn't get his way.
