Backstage at "We Are the One" inaugural concert: Barack Admits to Beyonce He’s a Fan of “Single Ladies” (with video)

Vibe.com--WATCH the Obamas greet Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, Jimmy Henchman, and John Legend (with video):
It’s clear that our President is the new cool, but nothing shows this more than his recent meet-and-greet with various celebs at the Lincoln Memorial following the star-studded “We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration” concert.

Captured on video by singer John Legend, the Obamas walked up to greet Beyonce. Michelle Obama says, “Mr. President, you didn’t tell Beyonce about 'Single Ladies'? Your rendition?"

"I'm not like Justin [Timberlake]” Obama says laughing, referring to Timberlake’s spoof of the video on Saturday Night Live. “I didn't put on the outfit. ...[But] I didn't want my girls thinking that I couldn't, you know...I got a lil something."

He then does the infamous hand flip. See all the meet-and-greet footage below.

Howie P.S.: Like everybody else, you have to wait a few minutes for the Obamas to show up. Like everybody else you'll be glad you did.
