Tonight, as we mourn the 12 people murdered today at the Washington Navy Yard, Michelle Obama has a message for Americans:

First lady Michelle Obama said that the president “will shake his groove thing” at a Latin music concert being held at White House on Monday. Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin and Romeo Santos are among the artists lined up to perform.
All they want to do is dance.

And all we want to do is hurl. This is absolutely shameful.
UNBELIEVABLE!! White House will still be partying tonight. FLOTUS: Obama 'will shake his groove thing' http://t.co/catxL2rE3o via @POLITICO

No surprise BHO will "shake his groove thing' instead of respecting the dead from #NavyYardShooting. The man is a total ass.

"@toddstarnes: Mrs. Obama says President Obama will "shake his groove thing" tonight." Doesn't seem entirely appropriate.

Absolutely disgusted at this dishonor to the victims of the #NavyYardShooting. http://t.co/BDX1IOToGC

Tonight, while at least 12 families grieve, Obama will be out shaking his "groove thing" with the one percent.

Surely BuzzFeed’s Kaczynski has something to say about this, right?
WH correspondent report tonight: "It was a somber shake of his groove thing tonight as President Obama attended a Latin music Fest…"

Ugh.
@NavyNmySoul @politico I wish Obama would shake his groove thing right out of the White House! So UNPROFESSIONAL!

So do we.

Update:
Looks like the First Couple won’t be shaking their groove things tonight after all:
WH: In light of today’s tragic events at the Navy Yard & out of respect for the victims and their families, Musica Latina will be postponed

Somewhere a disappointed Joe Biden, wearing a sombrero and carrying maracas, stomps off to his room.
