Obama Dances The Tango During State Dinner In Argentina

I'm sure we'll hear reports about how he is cheating on his wife by dancing with that woman or something equally stupid. But damn, I love the Obamas! 

WATCH: Obama Dances The Tango During State Dinner In Argentina




When in Rome — or in this case, Buenos Aires...


President Obama danced the famous Argentine tango with a lithe dancer in a shimmery gold dress during the official state dinner at the Centro Cultural Kirchner in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday night.

While The Associated Press reports Obama initially declined the dancer's outstretched hand — multiple times — he then relented and joined her on the floor, dancing for about about a minute to the dramatic tango music.

While we wouldn't say Obama was necessarily fleet of foot, the leader of the free world was able to hold his own on the dance floor.

Nearby, first lady Michelle Obama tangoed with another dancer. After the dance ended, she and the president's partner exchanged a few words and smiles.


Visiting the South American country on an official state visit, Obama has promised to declassify U.S. documents related to the dark period of Argentina's history called the Dirty War, in which the government killed or "disappeared" as many as 30,000 Argentines during a seven-year dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s.

As Michele Kelemen reported, Obama, speaking at a joint news conference in Buenos Aires on Wednesday with Argentina's president, Mauricio Macri, said: "We previously declassified thousands of records from that era, but for the first time now, we will declassify military and intelligence records as well."

i hadn't realized he was going on to argentina after cuba

[mbcdefg]

OMG, before that first male dancer turned around to face the camera at the beginning I thought that was POTUS.

[josieposy]

Is it too much to hope for one or both Obamas to end up on DWTS in a few years? Because that would be awesome.

[mrsukyankee]

I wish we had a dislike button.

No, never, not ever.

He was getting flack for this this am on Morning Joe. I think I watch so I can curse at the tv and see just how ridiculous folks are towards him.

iammalcolmx,The Obamas are so flipping cool. I feel honored to be an adult during this time so I can take it all in. I don't know how this will hold up for other generations.

[bernsteincat]

He was already handsome, but Tango Dancing Obama makes me shiver. In a very good way.

[laurack]

lol I also thought the first guy was him and I was thinking "WHOA!!!"

I love the obamas!

[oliviapope]

I know this is old at this point, but I am going to miss them so fucking much. Hillary ain't doing any tangos lol.

[skwcm80]

The smile on my face is a mile wide. I'm going to miss them being in the WH so much.

[MeMyselfandI]

I love this!

[threejs]

Love, love LOVE!!

But a hard NO to the pp who suggested DWTS for the Obamas. No ma'am.
