and searched mightily online for more. The only place I could find it: right here!
It is an amazing and beautiful piece of tape. He is so cute (I can say that because I'm 6 years his senior.) Hope this goes viral! Can't wait to see what John Stewart, Colbert and other do with this. I think it's a first? Who knew he could sing?

Because Pres. Obama doing a song like that could have the same effect.
People love that kinda shit. It humanizes them.
