He's meant to be the biggest mover and shaker in the Western world.
But the bongos, it seems, throw him a little out of synch.
George Bush cut an awkward figure yesterday as he danced with a group of African performers at the White House.

At one point he seemed to go crosseyed, and then fluttered his hands, closed his eyes and opened his mouth in a failed attempt to look hip.
His efforts drew laughter from his most sycophantic aides. And when he tried to drum out a beat on one of the bongos - and failed - the dancers dissolved into giggles.
His wife Laura did rather better, swaying with style as she shook her head at her husband and rolled her eyes.
Mr Bush did, however, win the approval of the crowd gathered in the Rose Garden, who roared in delight.
They were there for a Malaria Awareness event at which the President vowed to turn the tide against the disease.
According to White House sources, Mr Bush is having dance lessons in case he has to take a turn with the Queen next month when she visits as part of celebrations to mark the 400th anniversary of the first British colony in America.
