Michelle Obama Says The President ‘Sings To Me All The Time’
EmailFirst Lady Michelle Obama said her husband — a recent singing sensation — doesn’t hesitate to “show off his lungs” and sings to her all the time.
President Obama proved his vocal ability when he sang a few lines of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” at a campaign event earlier this month.
”That was completely spontaneous,” Mrs. Obama told Jay Leno in an interview on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” on Tuesday night. “I didn’t even hear about it until it got on YouTube, but he does have a beautiful voice, and he sings to me all the time.”
While the First Lady admitted, “I can’t sing,” she said the president doesn’t “hesitate to show off his lungs to his wife. He’s good.”
“Let’s Stay Together” is apparently one of the president’s signature songs. “I knew when people said he sang, I thought I’ll bet he sang Al Green,” Mrs. Obama said. “He sings a lot of Al Green, Marvin Gay, a little Stevie. He likes the classics.”
First daughters Malia and Sasha, however, may not be big fans of their dad’s public crooning.
“Anything we do is highly embarrassing. They just want us to be very quiet, very quiet,” Mrs. Obama said.

Mr. Obama’s term is pretty much already a full term. From now on until the next year, it’s just campaigning, as Mrs. Obama demonstrated by opening up about the singing of Mr. Obama.

Mitt Romney tried singing, too. It wasn’t that good. Extra starch and out of tune.

Actually, he sang four notes…and don’t hate just because he is naturally talented and can multi-task.

I like both of them and I think the President has done an excellent job. It’s easy to compare him to the last Republican. We’re way, way ahead.

He’s a great singer in the sense Kim Il Jong was a great golfer. I wonder if Barack would mind singing a few bars of Clapton’s “Cocaine,” just for fun.

He’s a great singer in the sense Kim Il Jong was a great golfer. —- He IS a good singer. Obviously. to deny it strikes of high school girls who jealously look at the most pretty girl and say “oh she’s soooo ugly!”

Republicans are trying to copy Obama by singing. let’s hope Newt doesn’t get up and start croaking let’s get it on, or , god forbid, Barry White.
Blech.

Because I can hear? Because i’m correct and you’re dissatisfied with the GOP. lol.
I stand by it: Extra starch and out of tune. (And he’s just being a copycat, everybody gets that. There is no real Mitt Romney.)
But let’s move on because there is something more topical: today right wing pundits and bloggers are smacking their foreheads in amazement at how gold-cufflink-gaffe-prone the Mittster is. Michelle Malkin says his CNN interview could easily have been a Saturday Night Live parody”
Over at the National Review, Jonah Goldberg, at the National Review, said Mitt’s stupid “I don’t care about the poor” quote raised concerns that Romney is “simply not a good enough politician” to beat Obama.
Mitt Antoinette, lol.
