Barack Obama so turnt in Kenya. What a way to sign out.

President Barack Obama took some time out from his visit to Kenya to get on the dance floor on Saturday, the International Business Times reports.

Video from the event shows Obama at a state dinner dancing the “Lipala” with others to the Kenyan musical group Sauti Sol.

...have something in common! The last time I bowled, when I was 15, my age and my score were the same. I am now 64, and have kept my vow never to bowl again. I can, however, bust some pretty good dance moves.
