Barack Obama singing On The Road Again with Willie Nelson is painfully awkward

My eyes, my eyes, the goggles do nothing...

My eyes, my eyes, the goggles do nothing…

The White House recently held a concert in honour of the American Troops and invited some of the biggest names in music to come along to perform at the party.

Mary J. Blige, Common and Willie Nelson all showed up to do their thing and during the encore of Nelson’s performance, he invited President Barack Obama on stage with him for a sing-song.

Obama is a cool guy and is smooth in most situations but he was well out of his comfort zone during this rendition of “On The Road Again” and the best way to describe it is very, very awkward.
