Video of Bush’s African Dance Triggers Call for Ban on Presidential Dancing Outside of Controlled Formal Balls

Ok, I am the only one suggesting it. However, the video below should strongly support a ban on further impromptu presidential dancing.

Bush took off in dance on his African visit as shown in this clip. It is not his first (and it seems his worst) such effort as shown here

In fairness to Bush, cultural ties may make such demonstrations necessary and it is certainly better than the nightmare scene of Boris Yelstin doing his dance, here, which continues to haunt my every waking moment.

Now, if we had a law barring presidential dancing outside of formal ballroom settings, the president could cite the illegality of the act in declining such invitations. Of course, the illegality of acts has not proven a major barrier for President Bush. Yet, this would be a public rather than a secret operation.

Today, a clip of Obama in Texas doing a slight dance may indicate more promising things to come in this department. Obama shows a much more restrained and . . . yes . . . presidential dance technique. For the video, click here.
