(ANI):
Sir
Paul
McCartney
said
that
he
might
be
the
first
guy
ever
to
get
punched
by
a
president,
after
he
serenaded
US
First
Lady
Michelle
Obama
with
the
lyrics
"I
love
you,
I
love
you,
I
love
you".
At
a
White
House

music,
McCartney
dedicated
a
rendition
of
the
Beatles''
love
ballad
"Michelle" to
the
US
President
Barack
Obama"s
wife,
Michelle.
He
said
he'd
been
'itching'
to
perform
it
at
the
White
House,
and
apologized
to
the
President
in
advance.
He
was
later
presented
Gershwin
Prize
for
Popular
Song,
awarded
by
the
Library
of
Congress.
"I
don't
think
there
could
be
anything
more
special
than
to
play
here," The
Telegraph
quoted
him
as
saying,
offering
to
make
it
a
regular
gig.
"Lunchtimes,
we
could
come
around,"
he
added.
"We're
cheap."
McCartney
praised
Obama
saying,
"You
have
billions
of
us
who
are
rooting
for
you
and
we
know
you
are
going
to
come
through."
Later,
he
expressed
appreciation
for
the
Library
of
Congress
and
added,
"After
the
last
eight
years,
it''s
great
to
have
a
president
who
knows
what
a
library
is."
