Want to See Obama Singing ‘Let’s Stay Together‘ at NYC’s Apollo Theater?

President Obama isn’t a man one would call bashful and it seems his interests go well beyond politics, as the nation’s 44th president has a penchant for belting out tunes. In December, he sang with Santa Claus and Kermit the Frog. Then, on Thursday night, he attended a fundraiser at the Apollo Theater where he performed the classic hit “Let’s Stay Together.” Considering shrinking poll numbers and the tough general campaign that he’s entering into, perhaps this song was appropriate.
While on stage at the campaign event, which was reportedly attended by 1,400 supporters, Obama mentioned that soul music legend Rev. Al Green was in the audience (he also performed that night). Then, he proceeded to sing a short line from the song. In the video, you can see he really got into the performance, as he sang, ”I…I’m so in love with you.”
Watch it, below:
“Don’t worry Rev, I cannot sing like you, but I just wanted to show my appreciation,” Obama said, as the crowed laughed and cheered.

He needs to retire so he can play golf, sing, play basketball, dance, and party 24/7. Then he would be in “his” world with “his” people, right along with the anti-white hater, Eric Holder..

Posted on January 20, 2012 at 8:54amObama vs Romney, Newt or Santorun is equal to Marxism vs Facism…
Obama vs Ron Paul is Marxism vs the Constitution of the United States…
Which do you want? Do you want a lighter version of oppression with Facism or do you want TRUE FREEDOM that the Constitution gives you?
Do you want perpetual wars and Nation building or a strong defense of the Homeland and our borders with our troops home?
Do you want wars to be declared by the Congress as outlined in the Constitution or are you comfortable with your President sending drones to kill people he names as our enemies?
Do you want the Federal Government to have the power to arrest you and hold you FOREVER without charges or would you rather ket the Constitution speak to what should be done to Traitors of our Country?
Do you want the welfare state to continue or do you want it to be reduced to helping only those in REAL need?
Do you want sound money based on a gold standard without the Federal Reserve devaluing your dollars or do you want FIAT currency that is based on NOTHING that will soon be worthless?
Do you ant the Constitution or do you want Marxism and Facism?
Just want to know where you stand.
