This week, "American Idol" kicked off its 11th season, and it appears even President Obama is getting into the spirit. On Thursday night at a fundraiser at the Apollo Theater, the commander in chief surprised a star-studded Harlem, New York, crowd by busting out a few measures of "AI" staple Al Green's "Let's Stay Together."

That's appropriate since a large segment of this clown's supporters equate the election of a President to the TV show mentioned.

[MestaMachine]

This whole story absolutely gags me. I am sick of seeing it, sick of hearing it, and sick of obama period.

[ronnie raygun]

He is better fitted for the gong show

[Walrus]

All part of getting yourself elected President of the United States. You get to hang with title-winning athletes; you wife gets to jet-set around the world; you get to live out your fantasies of being a rock star.

Yeah, it’s great being king.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

I think this is great. Get him out office and on Soul Train. Everyone wins!!!

[taillightchaser]

Would it be OK if I mailed my bag full of puke to the American Idol coach?

[Argus]

Kissing the tyrant’s ass is an old tradition in most of the rest of the world. Just not here. At least, not until now.

Congratulations liberals. You’ve reverted to the status of slaves in a dictatorship.

It’s another Clinton Saxophone momment, to be sure.

They’re hoping to rescue Mr. Super-cool just like they did Clinton.

Stick a fork in him. He’s done.

[RummyChick]

Listen and watch him sing it. I swear he is saying “I” instead of “I’m”

[Bon mots]

In this case, I think he should definitely give up his day job.

[JimSEA]

The Obama cult is beginning to remind me of North Korea for some reason.

[liberty or death]

I don’t know what the big surprise is. Many gay men sing quite well.

[catbertz]

Can we just go ahead and give him the title of America’s first woman [P]resident? Or maybe, America’s First Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender [P]resident?

I really think that movie Idiocracy will eventually be considered a documentary.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

“Oh, Gracious God, Thank You So Much! It’s such a blessing to be able hear you sing . . .! Mr. President, thank you for taking time out of your day! Oh, gracious God, thank you so much!”

[libertarian27]

His supporters voted for him that way too....

Wha'd he do, dedicate a few lines of 'Bertha Butt Boogie' to Moochelle?

Bump bump bubba-dump

Bah-bump-bump-bump bubba-dump

When bertha got movin'

Her hips were hummin' in the wind,

The ground started shakin'

No grass grew where she'd been!

The music was poppin',

The crowd had formed a ring,

Her sisters yelled, "boogie, Bertha, do your thing!"

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

PUKE!!!

From what I've heard of the show “Glee”, I think he'd be a natural for it. The janitor ‘with flair’ leaps out of the closet giving a rendition of Judy Garland's favorite hits...
