Al Green just told TMZ ... he thinks President Barack Obama's version of "Let's Stay Together" was "terrific" and, "He nailed it."
Green, of course, is referring to Obama singing part of the first verse of the song last night at the Apollo Theater in Harlem.
Green said, "I was thrilled that the President even mentioned my name, and if the President can get the economy going again and get everything going that he wants to, then we'll all be together."
Politics aside, Obama's singing is pretty awesome.

Obama is trying every gimmick he can to win over the American public for re-election. Politics disgusts me.

The only thing that Obama has nailed is the American people right in the behind. You could throw a dart at a map of the United States and whatever house it lands on you could find a more competent leader. Just go back to Hawaill or the golf course and please take your amazon wife with you.

President Obama had such a pleasant tone to his voice. I was surprised.
I loved seeing Al Green's name trend on twitter and for a positive reason! I hope this brings new attention to Al's catalog and "Let's Stay Together"! It doesn't get better than Al!

Glad Al Green loves Obama. Guess he doesn't care much about his fellow black Americans? In Detroit the real unemployment rate is close to 50% for blacks and in Chicago about 40%. Obama has surrrrrre done a lot of NOTHING for fellow black Americans. Oh, and then there is that other pesky fact: He literally said he cannot stand Israel and Bibi Netanyahu...figures since his middle name is "Hussein."
