"Obama Sings Soul Tune in Harlem"

[Sparkly]

This is classic.

Obama was at the Apollo Theatre for a fundraiser, and as he was speaking he sang a little snippet of "Let's Stay Together." It was very charming (and the man can actually sing, too!).

The headline -- yes, one of the top three headlines -- on Yahoo -- is "Obama Sings Soul Tune in Harlem." That's also the title of the clip -- "Obama Sings Soul in Harlem."

For cryin' out loud. Not "Obama breaks into song" or "Obama shows he can sing" or anything like that -- he sang SOUL. In HARLEM. Hmmm....

(Anyway, check the clip -- it was a nice moment.)

10. ABC Report on death of bin Laden

"Black President Announces Death of Osama bin Laden"

Osama bin Laden, hunted as the mastermind behind the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, has been killed, Black President Obama announced tonight.

The president, whose father was from Africa, called the killing of bin Laden the "most significant achievement to date" in the effort to defeat al Qaeda.

"Justice has been done," the dark-skinned Obama said.

Bin Laden was located at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, which was monitored and when the time was determined to be right, the swarthy president said, he authorized a "targeted operation."

"A small team of Americans carried out the operation," said Obama, whose cells produce more melanin than his predecessor's did. "After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body."

"I met repeatedly with my National Security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located Bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside Pakistan," the president said, although he did not immediately begin singing a soul tune.

"Finally, last week I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action and authorized an operation to get Osama Bin Laden and bring him to justice," said the president, resembling Sidney Poitier.
