Callas-fan-in-chief II

Readers of this blague already know that President Barack Obama is a Maria Callas fan.

President Obama reiterated his admiration for la Divina in his recent Rolling Stone interview:
I’m not a big opera buff in terms of going to opera, but there are days where Maria Callas is exactly what I need.
The audio selection is the Habañera from Callas’s 1964 recording of Bizet’s Carmen.

Hear Maria Callas in other selections from Carmen.
