President Obama, the "Crooner-in-Chief," takes up the microphone yet again.

You know I think the man might have a recording contract in his future.

This impromptu performance came at the end of the a special evening at the White House called "Red, White, and Blues."

You can see the entire performance over at the Obama Diary.

God I hope this doesn't scare Mitt Romney into trying to sing again. I don't think I can take it.

    When Mick Jagger hands you the mic, you've got to step up :).

    Could you even imagine the lameness if Romney or God forbid Ayatollah Santorum were President? It would be the Osmonds, and organ music, if we were lucky.

    Romney is not better at singing than he is at pretending to be an average, unemployed, working stiff. He comes across as phony in every way. He seems more like a (bad) actor auditioning for the part of President in a movie with a lousy scriptwriter. None of the gop can come close to our President, they all fall short.

    O/T -- over at the ceepee, they're claiming that, with the old Julian calendar, George Washington was actually born on February 11th -- and they see as a miracle that he and Sarah Palin (who has a "noble spirit") were born on the same day!
    Just one of the many parallels between his life and hers.
    Whew.

    Our President is a special guy.
    I can just imagine a Black History Month celebration planned by one of the GOP pretenders.
    They'd have theri buddy Herb over to sing, order some pizza, and call it done. Gives me the shivers.
    (And not in a good way!)

    LOVED the video of President Obama singing again, and with such a legend. The utter ease that President Obama has with people, with crowds, with music, with LOVE...it makes me so very proud to see and know that I had a hand in electing him...and will again.

    Glad to see that he is having fun despite the daily dose of nastiness coming from his opponents and the weighty decisions on his shoulders.

    This is just so very satisfying to read:

    Republicans are sighing, not cheering

    The most notable factor in the Republican presidential race thus far is the depth of despair into which Republican voters have sunk.

    They cannot find a candidate. Faced with a Democratic incumbent who appears shockingly weak to them, the Republicans have been unable to find a big nominee with a big voice to oppose him.

    Instead, they are finding a series of small nominees with squeaky voices. Some think the Republican Party’s problem is that its voters have failed to “coalesce” around a single candidate. That is not the problem.

    The problem is that there is no candidate around whom Republicans can coalesce. The field is not just weak, it is barren.

    The GOP is now the party of woulda, coulda, shoulda. If only this governor had run. If only that person had not dropped out early. If only there had not been so many debates to introduce the candidates to the American people long before the candidates were ready to be introduced.

    Today, what ushers forth from the throats of loyal Republicans is not a cheer, but a sigh.

    The GOP nominating race has been reduced to four men:

    President Obama will be re-elected in November. The GOP aka American Taliban aka Teabaggers will be rejected once again. They are too extreme and no one with a brain agrees with anything they have to say. Sorry GOP. President Obama will win and there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop it. Hahahaha

    I remember "The Jerk" - Steve Allen's character failing mightily to keep up with the rhythm; that's what I see with Romney. I think Romney would need a metronome.
