Not unlike the way Ben Roethlisberger would go to bars around here and expect to be comp-ed and not have to leave at tip, under the theory that “my very presence here is bringing in scores of business for yinz”.

"...my presence is charity. Just who I am. Just like Obama’s is."

Funny - TurboTax didn't ask me about "my presence" when I was filling out my Schedule A for the year. Do I get to deduct 100% of my time?

The deification continues.

I wanna know what JayZ and Obama text about.

[Wyatt's Torch]

Rest of the quote. Wow what an arrogant asshat...

“...Obama provides hope. Whether he does anything, the hope that he provides for a nation, and outside of America is enough.” He continued, “Just being who he is. You’re the first black president. If he speaks on any issue or anything he should be left alone… Of course we want to challenge him to do better. I felt Belafonte he just went about it wrong. Like the way he did it in the media, and then he big upped Bruce Springsteen or somebody. And it was like, ‘whoa,’ you just sent the wrong message all the way around…Bruce Springsteen is a great guy. You’re this Civil Rights activist and you just big upped the white guy against me in the white media. And I’m not saying that in a racial way. I’m just saying what it is. The fact of what it was. And that was just the wrong way to go about it.”

For me, Jay-Z's absence is charity.

[dfwgator]

What’s a Jay-Z?

[PowderMonkey]

“I’m offended by that because first of all, and this is going to sound arrogant, but my presence is charity. Just who I am. Just like Obama’s is."

How niggardly.

[Billthedrill]

I had to look to see if this was satire. Wow.

...this is going to sound arrogant, but my presence is charity. Just who I am. Just like Obama’s is.

I don't think the word "arrogant" quite covers it. Self-parody, possibly. This guy is headed for a long, ugly fall and a nasty shock when he hits the bottom.

[dfwgator]

and this is going to sound arrogant,

Uhhh, that's because it IS arrogant.

[ßuddaßudd]

Is he national holiday material ?
I want another day off.

[Colonel_Flagg]

This loser likes himself almost as much as King Hussein.

[Ann Archy]

uh....Pride Goeth Before the Fall, Z....good luck PUNK.

[Uncle Miltie]

My presence is an aphrodisiac.

[dfwgator]

What’s next, him saying that he denies women his “Life Essence”?

[Mr. K]

so he can take atax deduction wherever he goes!

Too bad Wesley Snipes didnt think of that one...

[MEGoody]

Jay-Z said,“I’m offended by that because first of all, and this is going to sound arrogant, but my presence is charity. Just who I am. Just like Obama’s is."

:::rolls eyes:::

I'm really glad this kid thinks he's all that because I sure don't.

[Clock King]

Bow down, B****es!

He and his wife and Obama and his wife all have God/King/Queen complexes.

[ColdOne]

Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffftttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!

[ColdOne]

Oh one more thing, I can’t believe I actually agree with Belafonte!
