Obama Sings for Donors?
Posted on January 20, 2012 by Conservative Byte

Fundraising on Thursday in New York, President Obama decided his audience of 1,400 at the Apollo Theater in Harlem needed to hear just a little bit more than the usual campaign rhetoric. So he broke into the first line of Al Green’s R&B classic, “Let’s Stay Together” — after Al Green, himself, had warmed up the crowd.

“I-I-I’m so in love with you…”

Brief as the phrase is, it’s tough to hit all the high notes. But the president was pitch-perfect. The audience screamed in delight. Obama grinned, delighted himself. “Don’t worry, Rev,” he said to Green, “I cannot sing like you.”

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Obama show that much playfulness and charm publicly. True, he hasn’t had much to be playful about — the budget crisis, the healthcare crisis, war.
