Barack Obama, Usher And Janelle Monáe Get Down To 'Hotline Bling'

Take us to defcon awesome.

When you're in charge of the United States, it has to be hard to cut loose. But breaking it down to 'Hotline Bling' on a Friday has got to be the coolest way to do it.

Last week marked the final musical night at the White House to be hosted by President Obama and boy did the Obamas deliver a night to remember.

The event featured a number of enviable music acts such as Usher, Janelle Monáe, The Roots and De La Soul -- making it one of the hottest invites in the country.

Usher snapped a video of him dancing with the President at the event called 'Love and Happiness: A Musical Experience', further cementing Obama's status a the coolest President ever.

Obama can be seen dancing in the crowd to Drake's popular hit 'Hotline Bling' and the video is just as awesome as it sounds.

American radio personality, Angie Martinez, who witnessed Obama's moves at event, took to Instagram to say she saw the President run out, jump in a circle and dance to Drake with his hands in the air.

If this video and the clip of his opening remarks for the night are anything to go by, it looks like Friday night's White House party was certainly one to remember.

We wonder if Obama drew inspiration from this video?
