Video: President Obama Gets His Al Green on During Apollo Fundraiser

The prez impressively croons a few bars of 'Let's Stay together'   

President Obama

*President Obama swung through New York City Thursday on a fundraising tour and stopped at the legendary Apollo Theater to greet supporters.

After announcing that legendary crooner Al Green was in the audience, Obama broke into a few quick bars of Green’s hit, “Let’s Stay Together” to the delight of the audience.

“Don’t worry Rev, I cannot sing like you, but I just wanted to show my appreciation,” Obama joked.

Obama indicated he was relieved that he wasn’t booed off stage like so many Apollo casualties and that the theater’s  “Sandman” did not try to sweep him off the stage.

Who knew that the president had some serious pipes.

The Atlantic Wire reports that Obama raised more than $3 million for his re-election campaign. He made four Manhattan stops during his New York trip, including a $36,000 per ticket appearance at the home of director Spike Lee.

Check out the the Prez get his smoothed out Al Green on. He’s sounds quite impressive. Check it for yourself below.

    Well it’s a black event. It’s an election year. And he needs to show that he’s still “down.”

    So why wouldn’t he? I wouldn’t be surprised if he started doing the electric slide at the next such black event.

    • You’re stupid!

    From time to time I have a fleeting thought cross my mind that another reason why white people hold a certain disdain for black people is that embodied within us are all the capabilities and compentencies that they may possess. They won’t necessarily acknowledge these attributes. But to top it off we got what the young people call swag. Somebody my age would just call it black cool!

    The most powerful man in the world AND he got soul too?!!!
