You know…I guess I just don’t get musical theater. I mean, I have no idea what makes a show. For instance…
BERLIN – A musical about Barack Obama’s “Yes we can” election campaign premieres in Germany this weekend, including love songs by the president to his wife Michelle and duets with Hillary Clinton.
Even John McCain and Sarah Palin are given stage time, with actors portraying the losing Republican candidates and belting out songs on their behalf.
In all, 30 singers, actors and dancers are to perform in the musical “Hope — the Obama Musical Story” when it opens at the Jahrhunderthalle concert hall in Frankfurt in a bilingual mix of English and German. The audience may recognize that many songs quote from the politicians’ stump speeches during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign.
A dancing John McCain…Barack and Hillary zipping around singing…
Yes we can!
Yes we can!
bababababbababaaaahhhh!!!
Is that a show?
As part of an interactive gimmick, the audience will be asked to participate in the show by playing tiny drums built into their chairs.
Oh well, there you have it. You can sit in your seat and express your hopefulness buy smacking along on a mini-drum…
Yes we can!
Yes we can!
bababababbababaaaahhhh!!!
Did you hear that President Obama was given an honorary black belt?
South Korea Thursday presented US President Barack Obama with a taekwondo outfit including an honorary black belt as a memento of his stay, officials said.
President Lee Myung-Bak personally chose the gift in recognition of Obama’s past interest in the Korean martial art, a spokesman for Lee said.
Hmmm…Honorary Black Belt…how’s that work? Does it entitle one to issue honorary ass-kickings?
OK kids, which of the following has not won a Nobel Peace Prize?
Mahatma Gandhi…
…or…
Barack Obama?
Oddly enough, the committee of Norwegians that select the winner, never did pull the trigger on Gandhi yet they have recognized Barry for his peace prowess even though the deadline for nominations for the prize was Feb. 1; two weeks after Obama took office…and a good half a year before the beer summit.
Go figure.
