I had suspected that he might not be able to sing.

The tonality of that little bit suggests to me he may be able to sing quite well.

A musical ear is something that is a big plus for me in a politician.

You just heard the echo of Bill Clinton's saxophone.

I never expected him to be even remotely on key, that seriously surprised me!

It was lovely, short though it may have been. I'd pay to hear him go a bit longer.

the last message he wants to send the electorate now is "walk on by"!!!

but it is a kind of sweet video, esp. the part leading up to his singing, where he talks about being smooth...

Was that Michelle out in the audience at the Apollo last night who he was making all those cute head bobs to, do you suppose?

What a doll. Sorry to swoon. But it's beauty on the inside, radiated out.

You know, for objectivity's sake.

Things like this make that very hard.

Worst "progressive"* President ever.

Best President overall, ever.

*never pretending to be as such.

(Yes, I know this is a mind bending post of epic proportions, but that's how I am, I still love Obama. )
