Ron म्हणाले...: First off, it's sobering to see Ellen Get Up On The Good Foot better than the possible POTUS! I blame the Michael Jacksonesque-blanching effect of Harvard Law!

But it is comforting to know if this whole campaign thing doesn't work out, he can go on tour with Tears for Fears.; १४/८/०८, ८:४३ AM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: Hilarious!; १४/८/०८, ८:४५ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: He's obviously a terrorist. And his middle name is HUSSEIN. Did you know he's Muslim????; १४/८/०८, ९:०० AM
Peter V. Bella म्हणाले...: Nice clip. Now we know. Obama can't dance!; १४/८/०८, ९:११ AM
Joan म्हणाले...: I was wondering when you were going to get around to posting this, it's too hysterical to pass up. I've seen it linked 3 or 4 other places already.

Will I be called out as a racist if I note that Obama dances like a white guy? Was it Seinfeld or SNL or someone else that noted that all white guys dance the same way? My cultural literacy isn't up to the task this morning.; १४/८/०८, ९:५३ AM
knox म्हणाले...: I like that he dances like a dork; १४/८/०८, ९:५६ AM
knox म्हणाले...: I mean, it fits in perfectly with how I think of him. To me, he's pretty naive, kind of a doofus, but still likable. I think as we get closer to the election he's going to start panicking: "How did I get here?" and he's going to look less and less cool and more like the person dancing in this clip.; १४/८/०८, ९:५९ AM
Matt म्हणाले...: He may not ever tell a lie, but he may "speak inartfully."; १४/८/०८, १०:१० AM
AllenS म्हणाले...: He's not the dancer I once knew.; १४/८/०८, १०:२२ AM
Palladian म्हणाले...: "I think as we get closer to the election he's going to start panicking: "How did I get here?""

This is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife!

Same as it ever was.; १४/८/०८, १०:२६ AM
Triangle Man म्हणाले...: This is a riot! I can't wait for the McCain version. With what song though? I suppose McRolling would provide a direct comparison of the candidates on their merits, but I suspect there is a more humorous ditty out there.; १४/८/०८, ११:१३ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: He dances like he bowls.; १४/८/०८, ११:२६ AM
veni vidi vici म्हणाले...: Half-white men can't dance.; १४/८/०८, २:०६ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: That was excellent.; १४/८/०८, २:४३ PM
Richard म्हणाले...: Obama dances like old people fuck.; १४/८/०८, ३:०० PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Okay, anti-Obamers. I'm one of you. Let's take off our special anti-Obamer glasses here and judge. Obama looks pretty cool. He has grace. The video itself is executed in a cool way.

Okay, now let's all put our anti-Obamer glasses back on and (through our special anti-Obamer mouthpieces) call him a tax-and-spend leftist who will bring back staglfation and a foreign-policy disaster waiting to happen.; १४/८/०८, ३:१३ PM
knox म्हणाले...: Obama looks pretty cool.

uh, the opposite?; १४/८/०८, ३:५६ PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: I thought Obama looked really attractive here. This should be counted as pro-Obama post.; १४/८/०८, ९:३८ PM
vbspurs म्हणाले...: I thought Obama looked really attractive here. This should be counted as pro-Obama post.

In your eyes. Everyone else knows this is a montage of outtakes set to one-hit-wonder Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give you Up."

Rick Astley was a particular favourite of mine when I was a girl, and was called the white man with the black voice in the UK.

The inference, especially during his white-man-dork-dance is explicit.
