With Economy In the Sewer… Obama Resorts to Singing at Fundraisers (Video)

Things are so bad for Barack Obama, the worst jobs president since the Great Depression, that he’s resorted to singing at fundraisers.

Maybe if he chirps a few lines they’ll forget about his devastating policies.

ABC reported:

Shortly after taking the stage tonight for a fundraiser at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem, President Obama broke into song.

Obama, standing behind the presidential podium, thanked his hosts and the performers who preceded him, including soul singer Al Green.

“To know that Rev. Al Green was here!” Obama said.

Then, after a pause, he began to sing the opening line of one of Green’s hit songs from 1972: “Let’s Stay Together.”

“I’m…. sooo in love….”

The crowd of 1,400 supporters went wild.

The lyrics of full opening stanza of the song read: “I’m, I’m so in love with you. Whatever you want to do. Is alright with me
‘Cause you make me feel, so brand new. And I want to spend my life with you.”

The tune’s refrain underscores a theme of Obama’s re-election campaign: “Let’s, let’s stay together. Loving you whether, whether. Times are good or bad, happy or sad.” (The president did not sing this part, however.)

You certainly didn’t expect him to talk about the 20,000,000 Americans who are unemployed or underemployed, did you?

Our malignant Narcissist-in-Chief on full display.

I used to think that he was an Emperor With No Clothes that people would soon properly recognize, then realized that the MSM would simply once again drool all over themselves fawning over his “chiseled” abs instead.

Pathological narcissism and lying deceit, however, are continuing to be more and more the hallmark of this MISadministration as it drags our country further into the abyss.

“Six House Democrats, led by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), want to set up a “Reasonable Profits Board” to control gas profits.

The Democrats, worried about higher gas prices, want to set up a board that would apply a “windfall profit tax” as high as 100 percent on the sale of oil and gas, according to their legislation. The bill provides no specific guidance for how the board would determine what constitutes a reasonable profit.

The Gas Price Spike Act, H.R. 3784, would apply a windfall tax on the sale of oil and gas that ranges from 50 percent to 100 percent on all surplus earnings exceeding “a reasonable profit.” It would set up a Reasonable Profits Board made up of three presidential nominees that will serve three-year terms. Unlike other bills setting up advisory boards, the Reasonable Profits Board would not be made up of any nominees from Congress.”

He has the talent to be a presenter at the golden globes or something. But to think he is the President is just sickening,. And the press is so in love with you.

Questionman #34
You forget about one quality that is absolutely essential in a president, dignity. Or as the Romans said it, dignitas. A singing president may amuse you, you may even see it as a “touch of humanity.” I assure you, however our enemies see it as yet another sign that the president is little more than a buffoon. The price of behavior such as this may well be payed in blood. There was a reason that Ronald Reagan, despite being an entertainer, never broke into song in public. Reagan understood the concept of dignitas, our current fool does not.

The Wohn should have sung “The King and Queen of America” by Euritmics. The lyrics are quite apt.

Yea it’s the King of Nothing
And the Queen of Rage
With a pile of confusion
Upon a glittering stage
You know we never did anything
To make ourselves feel proud
You know we never did anything
So let’s play it loud

Let’s hear it for the -
King and Queen of America

I gotta give O a pass on this one. I know I’m going to be hit hard for it but every now and then a president just does something off the cuff and in the spirit and this was it.

Unlike O’s use of imperial powers to appoint who he wants when he wants and other crap that has real meaning to our lives, this stupid singing tells us one thing: the guy can’t carry a tune and it wasn’t earth shattering. Nothing here except nitpicking – move along.
