BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) – He could not resist the forbidden dance.
President Barack Obama wasn’t in Argentina for 24 hours before he found himself doing the tango Wednesday night.
It was a reluctant tango. The president and first lady Michelle Obama were attending a state dinner in the Argentine capital when they were pulled abruptly onto the dance floor on by a pair of dancers hired to provide the entertainment.
At first, the woman in the shimmering gold dress seemed to content to twirl with her partner, but then she made a beeline for the president and beckoned him to the floor.
“No, no,” Obama’s face seemed to say, as he declined her invitation not once but multiple times. But the dancer wasn’t to be deterred.
