Ever since Barack Obama sang the first few lines of the Al Green classic Let's Stay Together at a fundraiser, we have been barraged by the news media in playing the clip repeatedly and telling us how cool Obama is. Even this morning, some 10 days or so after the initial singing by Obama, the news media has been covering it by talking about how sales of the original have been boosted by the performance. Enough already!
Perhaps, rather than run for a second term, Obama could try out for American Idol. About the only good thing in my mind about the whole affair is that it reminds me of how great the original truly is.
