As Vulture points out, a behind-the-scenes video of the DNC caught a brief glimpse of Obama bobbing his head to the inspiring rap song, while his aides smiled and awkwardly joined in.

The video also features backstage footage of celebrities like Sarah Silverman and Katy Perry, both of whom made appearances at the DNC.
