McCartney Serenades 'Michelle My Belle' And Bashes Bush


Beatle-in-chief Sir Paul McCartney last night serenaded First Lady Michelle Obama with "Michelle" as a highlight of the star-studded ceremony honoring him with the Library of Congress' Gershwin Prize for Popular Song in the White House East Room. McCartney quipped he'd been "itching" to sing the tune in the White House and hoped he would not be the first person ever "punched" by a president.


The musician also heaped praise on President Obama, saying it was an honor to receive an award from "this president." He later emphasized the point, telling the crowd at the end of the event and once Obama had left the room, "After the last eight years, it's great to have a president who knows what a library is." :rofl: :woohoo:
