At least 5 women in the audience thought "I want to have his baby!"

Al Green's a great way to get sex from women. But then it's Barry White when you're actually doing the deed.

Better than John Ashcroft singing "Let The Eagle Soar".

In response, Mitt Romney is going to favor us with a few bars of (looks through focus-group numbers) Bocephus.

Good job, but Obama point blank said he was vetoing it if it made it to his desk.

He's got a decent voice...it's a shame he doesn't use it against his opponents more often.

Means nothing. Reptilians are notoriously excellent singers.

Can't fault POTUS for his musical taste.

As The Dynamite Monkey said in a quote that I put into my profile due to its wittiness:

My Al Green records are among my prized possessions... I might very well still be a virgin without them. That man could sing the panties off a nun wearing a spacesuit.

If Free Republic covered this, I'd be willing to bet that someone there made a comment very, very similar.

In response Mitt Romney will narrate a rendition of "America the Beautiful" complete with commentary.

I would pay to see that. Seriously.

Obama should put out a tribute album. He could also do Parliament's "Tear The Roof Off".

I figure he got elected by the same type of adoration that the singers get.
He certainly didn't get it with his mad political expertise

That put a smile on my face, for no other reason than the moment likely chapped the hide of thousands of Obama's detractors.

Of course not. He'd opt for Glenn Frey's "The Heat Is On".
