Beyonce Serenades Barack & Michelle

Last night marked Barack Obama's first night as leader of the free world, so naturally, he spent his time getting down with his presidential self.

Obama and the First Lady attended the Neighborhood Inauguration Ball, just one of 10 events the Obamas attended Tuesday night. The Neighborhood Ball was the first inauguration event to be open to the people, and the first ball the Obamas visited on their whirlwind night. The Ball featured performances by Jay-Z, Sting, and Stevie Wonder, among others, and was broadcast on ABC. It was a fitting moment for the new president to include regular people in the inauguration festivities and turn the Ball into a celebratory concert people of all ages could enjoy.

At the Neighborhood Ball, the couple danced to Beyonce performing Etta James' classic "At Last" and later, Obama threw down some old school moves with Aretha Franklin and other attendees (see below). It is the rare president who can do "the bump" with class. As Obama settles in today and begins work on a million different issues, including suspending some of the military trials at Guantanamo, remember this image and know that we clearly entered a new age:

You are one stupid jackass. Next time you see a Black person on the street, repeat your comments. I dare you. Oh, just be sure your life and medical insurance are paid up! LOL Michelle Obama is the kind of woman you can only dream of having: educated, talented, beautiful, successful, and wealthy. You're just mad because only trailer park skanks want someone like you. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Why does it have to be a black person I say it to?? I'm sure plenty of white people wouldn't like it either. Sorry sista but it has nothing to do with white or black, its about I just personally don't like her. Sorry you can't see past race.

Etta James, she ain't!!!! She wishes she could sing. M.O.'s dress is horrible. Some say it looks like a bedspread. Beyonce' is just jealous that Hudson won an Oscar, so now she's gonna try for one. Don't hold your breath, Obamagirl.

Obama needs to get his butt in gear. He's not in Chicago anymore. If he can't do the job, he should turn it over to Michelle. Time is wasting and I want my 401k back. Quit making excuses for him. I'll give him a week. God created the whole works in a week.

The entire room had bleeding ears after having to endure Beyonce singing anything. How cruel to treat the new President and First lady on their first night in office.
