Obama Sings Al Green. How Did He Do? .President Obama sang a song from Al Green at a party fundraising Thursday, in case you have not heard. Well, "sang a song" might be an exaggeration - he sang a few words, really. He was standing on stage at the Apollo Theater in New York by thanking the people to come when it rotates in the Green classic "Let's stay together.""Ahhhhm ... so in love with you," said the leader of what was once called the free world.
Then he smiled and said, "These guys do not think I would."
He did not say that "those guys" were, at least not on the video released so far. Maybe he was referring to Spike Lee and his wife, who earlier in the evening had organized a dinner for Obama and donors willing to part with more than $ 35 000 per ticket to get the president's entourage.

how did he do? It sounded good, but the sample size was small, only one or two lines. We'll tell you this: there is no Herman Cain. Now there's an aspiring (former) president with pipes! Here is a performance Cain of the National Press Club last fall.
Now comes the fun part: it pretends to overanalyze the policy implications of this act in order to suck the spontaneity and filled with sawdust stuffing punditry.
Clearly, Obama has tried to send a message to his base with his song choices. A fund raiser? The song, "Let's stay together?" He pleads with his heart Liberal supporters to stay loyal and full of energy in the next election, even if it did not deliver what they want.
However, this approach shows its political weakness. It was cool, analytical, and not passionate enough. Why did not he make a choice more energetic, such as Green "You should be with me? “This would have shown more fire in the belly of the coming season. Come to think of it, he could sing Green "full of fire." That would get the message across.
What will the GOP do? By not completing a lyrical, Obama open to criticism that he is unable to perform important tasks, such as the economic recovery. Whoever the Republican candidate is that they can exploit this weakness and the fall.
Remember, we do this up - do not send us emails about how we live the vision of Newt Gingrich on the news media. If you have other suggestions for songs of the president should have tried, please posting them in comments. As for us, we went as far with what the guidelines allows Pundit Association. Enjoy the show.
