Barack Obama Sings 'Sweet Home Chicago' With B.B. King & Mick Jagger

One little bit of Al Green and now everybody expects the president to sing America's blues and soul classics. Well, why not? Thomas Jeffersonlovedto sing, and so did Richard Nixon.

What is this, anyway? Some kind of PBS/White House blues party. It will be on the teevee February 27, but for now it is right here on your Wonkette. Here's a short version with just the Obama singing, for those who lack the attention spans to endure two minutes of fun:

Mitt Romney plans to counter this charm offensive by singing the "Love Theme to the Salt Lake City Olympics," in one of his more intimate yachts. [ YouTube ]
