"... And life is like a
sooooooo-ong-ong-ong-ong-ong-ong-ong-ong-on-o-o-o-ong-- hey-ey
yeah-ah-ah-aaaahhhh..." Holy shit.

And the staging of that Beyonce number... the dance was supposed to
focus all eyes on the Obamas, and there's Ol' Yeller standing up on a
raised platform at the same level, sharing the spotlight and the shot
with them! Time to bring back decorum and protocol. Where is Leticia
Baldridge? Just sing, girlie, don't mug and don't try to "share this
moment" with the President!
