President Obama is already somewhat well-known for his singing voice and late night TV exploits - which once included a joke for which he realized he probably should apologize. While perusing the blogosphere on our lunch hour, Conflict Revolution caught wind of a pretty funny segment on Jimmy Fallon last night to add to the president's late night cache:
I was a little disappointed he didn't sing this time, and I was a bit
curious why the president apparently thought his dance moves were good enough for Ellen DeGeneres but not Jimmy Fallon. In general, I thought the headline "President Obama Slow Jams the News" carried a lot of potential that was not necessarily realized here. Kind of like the Obama Admin itself? ZING! I kid...
Still, an all-around good laugh. And if Jimmy Fallon is actually capable of being funny, surely the president can find a way to get re-elected, and bring down those college loan interest rates, right? I mean, right? To borrow a phrase from Kevin Garnett...
(you're going to have to check this one out for yourself)
Over and out.
Upon Further Review (4:34 pm) -->
I a) didn't realize this is a regular segment on Jimmy Fallon - kudos to Mr. Fallon and b) didn't realize that Obama dropped the mic at the very end. Ballsy. I still would have liked to hear more singing out of the Prez himself, but the dropped mic was clutch. Oh and the fact that he's trying to keep the interest rate on my loans from doubling.
Thank you, Barack-ness Monster.
