To cleanse the palate, via National Journal. You know what? He’s not half-bad. And the crowd eats up with a spoon. And yet: He must never do this again. Because if he does it again, other politicians will feel pressure to prove their hipness by doing it too. Do you really want to see John Kerry rap? Then this ends now, my friends.
TPM dug around and discovered that this isn’t the first time The One has felt moved to song while on the trail. I’ve embedded those clips below as well. I’ll say this for him: He has good taste in music, if you don’t count his fondness for songs written about him. Exit quotation from Al Green: “He nailed it.”

It ain’t over til the skinny Kenyan sings.
He sounds like a soprano. Not very manly, I’d say.
Obama needs to stick with his day job.He doesn’t do that well either.
He’s singing a torch song for his boyfriend, Larry Sinclair

Bathhouse Barry croons!
It ain’t over till the Skinny Man sings.
When ‘Omer smote ‘is bloomin’ lyre,
He’d ‘eard men sing by land an’ sea;
An’ what he thought ‘e might require,
‘E went an’ took - the same as me!
The market-girls an’ fishermen,
The shepherds an’ the sailors, too,
They ‘eard old songs turn up again,
But kep’ it quiet - same as you!
They knew ‘e stole; ‘e knew they knowed.
They didn’t tell, nor make a fuss,
But winked at ‘Omer down the road,
An’ ‘e winked back - the same as us!
“but it’s not about meeeeeeee”
The only song I want to hear him sing is his (political) ‘swan song’.
It'll fall on a Sunday, so the victorious GOP president-elect will be sworn in on Monday.

I think he should definitely give up his day job and pursue a singing career.
Can’t wait.
Think he maybe more a hummer than singer ...
...as an entertainer on board an Italian cruise liner, perhaps?
At least he won't be sinking ships of state... ;^)
I’m happy he’s testing the waters for a new career, he see’s the future and it’s on American Idol
As Bill Cosby once said, if you’ve got nothing, then drop your trousers.
Lipstick on a singing pig, is still just a pig.
