Petition's goal: Get Obama to dance 'Gangnam Style'
Some folks dream of world peace, others hope to end hunger, and then there’s Grace Choi, who just wants to see President Obama bust a move to the latest dance craze.
The Korean pop music fan aims to get the commander in chief doing his best horse-riding-like gallop as he dances “Gangnam Style” with YouTube sensation Psy. The entertainer’s Korean-language hit became the most-watched clip ever on the video-sharing site last week.
Choi, a self-described “international relations nerd,” recently launched a petition on Change.org to make her dream a reality. Claiming that bringing Psy and Obama together would result in “cultural diplomacy,” Choi lists a few reasons why supporters should slap their signatures on her petition.
Plus, Obama has already expressed some familiarity with the proper “Gangnam Style” gestures. In an Election Day radio interview, Obama said of the song’s dance, “I think I can do that move. But I’m not sure that the inauguration ball is the appropriate time to break that out.” Choi writes on her petition, “Well, Mr. President, I’m not asking you to do this anywhere near the inauguration.”
So far, the Change.org petition has about 150 signers.
