Newsweek - Love this: "Obama stood behind the podium, quietly singing the song "Disco Inferno"

[Jackeens]

"Nothing seemed to rattle Obama. He had a way of retreating into his own little world. During one of the debate preps, the lights blew, flickering on and off like a strobe light from the 1970s disco craze. Obama stood behind the podium, quietly singing the song "Disco Inferno," last popular in the heyday of "Saturday Night Fever."

2. I still find it so hard to believe he's the president!

Obama is way too cool to be president.

4. No he's not... finally the cool people are politically active enough

to have supported & voted for him. :)

We finally have enough politically active cool people! Now let's just hope they stay active!
