VIDEO: Obama talks about singing Al Green with Diane Sawyer on Nightline
At the end of this new video interview with President Obama and Diane Sawyer, the Commander-in-Chief touches on a video that went viral this week: the one of President Obama singing Al Green's popular "Let's Stay Together" song.

Sawyer asked if his daughters Malia and Sasha now had the song of their father singing the old soulful song as their ringtones.
No, said the president, and they're not embarrassed about it either.
Throughout the video, President Obama speaks of Newt Gingrich's charges of him being "the food stamp President".
"First of all, I don't put people on food stamps. People become eligible for food stamps," he countered. "Second of all, the initial expansion of food-stamp eligibility happened under my Republican predecessor, not under me. Number three, when you have a disastrous economic crash that results in 8 million people losing their jobs, more people are going to need more support from government."
So there you have it. During the interview President Obama also said he couldn't call the Super Bowl winner -- because the Chicago Bears were not involved. Good to see he hasn't lost his sense of humor.
