Well, he’s no Condoleeza Rice. President Obama sang a little Al Green at a fundraiser held at the Apollo Theater, E! News reports. After singing a little bit of “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green (who was in the audience), President Obama said, “I cannot sing like you, I just wanted to show my appreciation.” Check out the video:
Obama also appeared at a fundraiser at Spike Lee’s house. The event cost $38,500 a plate – and Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were among the celebs who plunked down their cash. Nick tweeted about the experience: “Wow!”Just left dinner with the President @BarackObama very inspiring! Thank you to Mr and Mrs @SpikeLee for hosting at their home.”
Mariah chimed in: “Just left dinner with President Obama. Beyond inspiring. Thank you Mr+Mrs Spike Lee!”
Spike posted a bunch of his own Twitpics, including one of Obama holding up some customized Michael Jordan sneakers. Adorbs.
Now that his 2012 campaign is in full swing, Obama will once again reach out to the rich celebrities who love him, while trying not to appear like a rich douchebag like Mitt Romney. Think he can do it?
“A great night,” Spike tweeted. “I Heard We Raised 1.6 Million Dollars From The Dinner Tonight. The President After The Q&A Shook Hands And Took Pictures. Ya-Dig.”
Wow cant believe his wonderful voice. Way to go Mr. President. My dream would be to meet him and his family love this man.
Wonderful! I love our President!
Mr. President, that was great you can always start a music Career. Love it.
This was held at THE APOLLO, not at Spike Lee’s house.
