Well, he’s no Condoleeza Rice. President Obama sang a little Al Green at a fundraiser held at Spike Lee’s house, E! News reports. After singing a little bit of “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green (who was in the audience), President Obama said, “I cannot sing like you, I just wanted to show my appreciation.” Check out the video on youtube
Spike Lee’s fundraiser cost $38,500 a plate – and Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were among the celebs who plunked down their cash. Nick tweeted about the experience: “Wow!”Just left dinner with the President @BarackObama very inspiring! Thank you to Mr and Mrs @SpikeLee for hosting at their home.”
Mariah chimed in: “Just left dinner with President Obama. Beyond inspiring. Thank you Mr+Mrs Spike Lee!”
Spike posted a bunch of his own Twitpics, including one of Obama holding up some customized Michael Jordan sneakers. Adorbs.
Now that his 2012 campaign is in full swing, Obama will once again reach out to the rich celebrities who love him, while trying not to appear like a rich douchebag like Mitt Romney. Think he can do it?
“A great night,” Spike tweeted. “I Heard We Raised 1.6 Million Dollars From The Dinner Tonight. The President After The Q&A Shook Hands And Took Pictures. Ya-Dig.”
