Which is not to say the whole thing doesn't kind of give us chills, or that Obama can really do all that much about an environmental catastrophe not even remotely of his making. But maybe he could choose to break into song in a room that didn't contain two or three of the most famous entertainers in the world? [Stereogum/Vulture]
