The other performer was the one and only President Barack Obama. President Obama was at a fundraising event in New York City geared toward his re-election campaign. With a crowd of about 1,400 gathered at the legendary Apollo Theater, the short video clip shows Obama singing Al Green’s popular ‘Let’s Stay Together’.
“I – I – I — I’m so in love with you.”
After surprising himself for actually following through with what may have been an innocent best the president stated,
“I told you I was going to do it! The Sandman did not come out!”
Nope, no he didn’t.
Update: So what did Al Green have to say about President Obama singing his classic? “Terrific.” “He nailed it.”
Green added to TMZ, “I was thrilled that the President even mentioned my name, and if the President can get the economy going again and get everything going that he wants to, then we’ll all be together.”
