At the end of a
state dinner in Buenos Aires with Argentine President Mauricio
Macri on Wednesday, Obama and his wife, Michelle, watched with
rapt attention as a male and female pair glided and turned in
graceful precision across a small patch of open floor in front
of their table.
Willing to give it a try, the president got up and sashayed from
one side of the tiny space to the other with the female dancer,
while the U.S. first lady teamed up with her male counterpart
for a spell.
Then the leader of the free world appeared to have second
thoughts.
Getting back to the other side of the dance floor, Obama stopped
to wave at the dinner guests as if to conclude.
But his partner would have none of it, taking his hand back in
hers and doing a number of turns before allowing the president
to spin her around for a finale that ended with her leg drawn up
high against his.
The music stopped, the crowd applauded, and the Obamas had done
the tango.
