President Barack Obama is the ONLY person for the job of President of America. Everything in America is IMPROVING and will continue to do so with you doing your part. President Obama made many of his accomplishments and expectations clear during his State Of The Union Address and pointed out that our participation is required to reach these goals as a nation.
President Barack Obama held a fundraiser Thursday night at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem. After taking the podium, the president seemed to get caught up where he was. He broke out into song singing the opening line of the hit “Let’s Stay Together” by Rev. Al Green.
It cost $200 a ticket to hear President Obama speak at a fundraiser Thursday in New York. Obama singing? That was just a bonus.
The president thrilled the crowd of about 1,400 at the landmark Apollo Theater when he briefly launched into song, crooning a few lines of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” to the surprise of, well, just about everyone.
Even more — he wasn’t half bad.
“Don’t worry, Rev. I cannot sing like you,” he joked. “I just wanted to show my appreciation.”
The event was one of several Big Apple fundraisers the president attended Thursday while his would-be Republican foes were sparring at a debate in South Carolina. Others had price tags of $5,000, $15,000 or even $35,800. But some supporters got to hear the presidential pipes for as little as $100.
In his remarks, Obama pressed his case for a second term, and for his troops to be just as fired up as they were four years ago.
President Obama SINGS Al Green Let’s Stay Together
Saturday Night Live’s Seth Meyers hosted the star-studded White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner Saturday night, and he wasted no time in roasting Donald Trump and other controversial media figures.
The “SNL” head writer also takes digs at the royal wedding, Katie Couric and the Republican presidential candidates during the White House Correspondents Dinner….
Below, his best moments:
1. On Trump’s presidential candidacy: “Donald Trump said that he was running for president as a Republican. That’s funny, because I thought he was running as a joke.”
2. On Trump’s hair: “Donald Trump often appears on Fox, which is ironic because a fox often appears on Donald Trump’s head. If you’re at the Washington Post table with Trump and you can’t finish your entree, don’t worry, the fox will eat it.”
3. On Trump’s accent: “I like that Trump is filthy rich but nobody told his accent. His whole life is models and gold leaf and marble columns but he still sounds like a know-it-all down at the O.T.B.”
4. On Sarah Palin: “Donald Trump owns the Miss USA pageant, which is great for Republicans because it will streamline their search for vice president.”
5. On the royal wedding: “As I was watching the festivities I couldn’t help thinking how wonderful it is to live in a country where people don’t have to wear hats like that.”
6. On the Republican presidential candidates: “Just look at the options Republicans are kicking around: Palin. Huckabee. Gingrich. Trump. That doesn’t sound like a field of candidates — that sounds like season 13 of Dancing With The Stars. And not the stars — the dancers.”
7. On departed CBS news anchor Katie Couric: “Katie [Couric] was known best for asking those tough questions, like ‘name a newspaper.’ ********************************************************************
Donald Trump Slammed by Stuttering Foundation After Seth Meyers Attack
“Shame on you, Mr. Trump!” the group’s president says after Trump calls the host of the White House Correspondents Association dinner a “stutterer.”
Add the Stuttering Foundation to the list of those upset with Donald Trump.
The organization on Monday issued a statement slamming Trump’s use of the word “stutterer” as an insult aimed at Seth Meyers, host of Saturday’s White House Correspondents Association Dinner.
“Shame on you, Mr. Trump!” said Jane Fraser, president of the Memphis, Tenn.-based group. “We at the Stuttering Foundation find it discouraging that in 2011, Donald Trump has chosen to use the word ‘stutterer’ in a derogatory fashion, something to be made fun of, to describe Seth Meyers’ speech at the annual White House Correspondents’ dinner.” **************************************************************************
