Obama Compares Himself to Rapper Jay-Z at Fundraiser, But What Do They Really Have in Common?

by Yvette Carnell

Obama was all smiles while schmoozing 100 donors at Jay-Z’s 40/40 on West 25th Street, where  supporters paid $40,000 a plate for the privilege of getting within arms length of President Obama.

 

 

“Let me just begin by saying to Jay and Bey, thank you so much for your friendship. We are so grateful. Michelle and Malia and Sasha are mad at me because they are not here,” Mr. Obama said. “That doesn’t usually happen. Usually they’re like, we’re glad you’re going–we don’t need to go. But every time they get a chance to see these two they are thrilled, partly because they are just both so generous, particularly to my kids. And Malia and Sasha just love both of them.”

Jay and Bey? 

President Obama went on to gush over Beyonce’, saying  she “couldn’t be a better role model for our daughters because she carries herself with such class and poise.”

    Don’t think this was a wise thing for our President to say. JZ was a drug dealer so I wonder how many lives he ruined. Barack is a college grad who has devoted his life to doing the right thing by people, not making money off of their addictions.

    Sean Puffy Combs would be someone more suitable. He sold newspapers and worked in a recording studio when he was young.

    Come on he’s a Chicago politician a really good one who will say anything for money and votes!

    I like the man, voted for him, I’m not an Obama right or wrong person!

    He is not a good leader and will not go down in history as a great President.

    He wants to be the leader of the world rather than the President of the USA, and doing a very poor job at each.
