Video: Obama sings the blues

Another fine performance from the president.

By Rob Pollard Published 22 February 2012 11:35

Following on from his version of Al Green's Let's Stay Together in New York last month (see below), President Obama has now moved on to the blues. Last night at the White House he gave us another impromptu song, performing Sweet Home Chicago with B.B. King and Buddy Guy. Can anyone imagine Mitt Romney doing this?

I find this kind of thing entertaining and humorous. But it is not in any way politically motivating for me. Just silly.

I guess it does show that Obama has some humor himself.

There was one clip I saw, which I think was not a performance by Obama himself but rather put together from words he has said, with tune in the background - it reminded me of a Capital Steps type piece. The Capital Steps do stellar send ups using show tunes and opera - great fun to hear. Love them.

How Marvellous!!!...Obama sings the blues after hitting Jay-z up on his blackberry!

Reginald's favourite hippy-hop rapper Jay-z made his game tight!

If Barry 0bama described himself as "shucking & jiving", would he then have to call himself a racist?
