You are right maybe...but every ObamaBot knew of the Staple Singers because he started with her music and kept using right up till the night he was elected.

<span style="font-style: italic">By DANIEL J. WAKIN
Published: January 22, 2009 </span>
<span style="font-weight: bold">It was not precisely lip-synching, but pretty close</span>.</a>

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">The somber, elegiac tones before President Obama’s oath of office at the inauguration on Tuesday came from the instruments of Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman and two colleagues. But what the millions on the National Mall and watching on television heard was in fact a recording, made two days earlier by the quartet and matched tone for tone by the musicians playing along.

The players and the inauguration organizing committee said the arrangement was necessary because of the extreme cold and wind during Tuesday’s ceremony. The conditions raised the possibility of broken piano strings, cracked instruments and wacky intonation minutes before the president’s swearing in (which had problems of its own).

“Truly, weather just made it impossible,” Carole Florman, a spokeswoman for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, said on Thursday. “No one’s trying to fool anybody. This isn’t a matter of Milli Vanilli,” she added, referring to the pop band, stripped of a 1989 Grammy because of its lip-synching, that became synonymous with the practice. </span>

I am absolutely thrilled for Obama and his lovely family. As promised, he hit the ground running. So far, so good.

Obama practices taking his oath



Sasha dances while
Malia takes a picture of dad
before he heads out to the balls Tuesday night



In a freight elevator on the way to a ball,
with the First Lady staying warm
