Is Barack Obama The Best American Politician Ever?


Like Kobe, like Lebron, Barack did go straight from high-school to the pros.

That's a biting but fair assessment.

Sub, what do you mean by 'biting'?

Biting is perhaps the wrong term. I mean to say that you hint at a legitimate concern. For every Kobe Bryant there are many more Kwame Browns. How much of his success is due to real talent rather than media hype? But I think that there is something to Obama. As black men who enjoy a fair amount of wealth, leisure, and superior education which permits us to meander in this sphere, you and I know how much hard work and skill is required for even modest achievement.

Au Contrare Mon Frere,

I think no such thing of Obama.

I think Obama has the REALEST of talent. He is talented at being a human being.

He is real man in a fake world.

He is an island of soul in an ocean without spirit.

Obama is a real super hero. F#ck that ol' sissy ass superman.

And ...

Quiet As It's Kept -

Obama's "Secret Weapon" is his blackness.

Obama has tapped into something special, powerful and unique about the black male experience that the world loves. MLK. Ali. Mandela. Bob Marley. Barack Obama.

This is what the Michael Fisher GSWS set does not understand.

The power no "system" can erase.
