Obama shakes a leg at Marley Museum

IN A VERY RARE MOMENT, United States President Barack Obama swayed his hips and sang along to the music of Jamaica’s reggae legend Bob Marley and the hit song “Exodus”.

The occasion was an unannounced visit to the Bob Marley Museum Wednesday night, shortly after the US President arrived in Jamaica for a two-day visit which ended last night.

“Hey, that’s the song we were playing on Air Force One on our way here,” Obama told one of his Secret Service bodyguards during the tour which was conducted by tour guide Natasha Clark, (at left).

Clark said the US President told her “Exodus” was his favourite Bob Marley album, even though he still has “all Marley’s albums”. (AP Picture)
