Mitt Romney Gangnam Style Dance: Watch Him Break it Down at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Conference
Arizona Young Single Adults, which is a Latter-Day Saints organization, also known as Mormons, had Mitt Romney and his wife as guests of honor at a conference in Tempe among other distinguished guests like the president of ASU. After his speech, Mitt Romney was goaded into dancing by another one of the presenters, who tried to get the Republican to imitate a Psy-like dance but Romney turned it into someone else altogether.
Although the dance and the clip is not much to speak of, many viewers find it nonetheless amusing and endearing from someone who was so vilified in the media prior to the last election.
Unsurprisingly, the bulk of the comments section for the video is full of political debate over which presidential candidate was more worthy of the selection. One YouTube commenter even went so far as to say the performance was "awesome" and that Mitt Romney got "points in his book."
He continued by saying that "if we could have seen this side of him then it would have been a bit harder to make him out to be an out-of-touch rich guy." Several other comments echoed the same sentiment, saying that he was a good sport for going along with it.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah with congregations and temples worldwide. It is ranked by the National Council of Churches as the fourth largest Christian Denomination in the United States.
Adherents are informally referred to as Mormons and their ideas about the nature of God and the potential of mankind differ from mainstream Christianity. The LDS canon has four scriptural texts (the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price) and revelations by Joseph Smith including commentary on the Bible.
