President Obama was the crooner-in-chief Thursday night, taking the stage at Harlem’s famed Apollo Theater and serenading supporters with an Al Green classic.

Capping three fund-raisers in the city, Obama softly sang the opening to “Let’s Stay Together,” with Green himself giving the Prez props for his chops.

“We’re so honored. It’s the first time we’ve ever had a sitting President at the Apollo,” the venue’s CEO, Jonelle Procope, said of the event where tickets went for $100 to $25,000.

Earlier, Obama met Jewish leaders at upper East Side restaurant Daniel and said the election is “going to be a tough race, regardless of who they nominate.”

You know, there are some times an event happens, you miss it, and you really feel like you've missed out. Then there are other times an event happens, you miss it, and you thank {Diety} you weren't there.

This would be in the second category.

Was not the Apollo famous as a venue for gay black artists and dancers? I’m thinking of Lou Reed, “Walk on the Wild Side”, the line about the gay black man nicknamed “Sugarplum Fairy” who “went to the Apollo, should have seen him go go go...”

Or were there two Apollo Theaters?

I thought this song was practically a gay anthem.

President Obama: bringing his supporters together. He’ll hand them Federal money after he gets elected.

Obama reminds me of Huey Long. You have to support him to be considered a worthy citizen. Or to expect the government to actually help you.
