First Black President All-White on Dance Floor

WASHINGTON – President Barak Obama looked elegant in his tuxedo and First Lady Michelle unmistakably lovely, even in a dress that looked like it was borrowed from Sasha’s Lemon Meringue Pie Barbie, but when the couple took to the dance floor one thing was clear: for all his many talents and abilities, the President cannot dance.

“Oh my,” commented Aretha Franklin, Queen of Soul, who appeared at the inauguration in a startling hat, “I love that man, but the brother does not have the moves.”

Even Michelle struggled between trying to keep her toes well away from her husband’s feet and negotiating with her uncooperative ball gown, constructed by designer Jason Wu from his Grandmother’s chenille bedspread and approximately 20 yards of bubble wrap.

The President’s less than inspiring performance on the dance floor, however, proved reassuring to some Americans including Vice-President Joe Biden who commented, “If anyone doubted his white heritage before, those doubts have now been put to rest.”
