The MTV President

In America, those who exude a certain type of attraction or charisma are often christened with the sobriquet of "rock star." For those of us who've outgrown the allures of the brain-shattering, soul-stealing muck that has masqueraded as music for the last few decades, this term is not exactly a desirable one for those engaged in anything but narcissistic and immature pursuits.

Yet for many in this country, comparison to a rock star is the ultimate compliment and a cherished goal. Into this sad state of our country comes President Barack Obama, whom many have labeled our first post-Baby Boomer president and naturally, a rock star who can dance too!

...

Baby Boomers were the first generation to be reared on television, but not to the extent of their children and grandchildren. The advent of cable and satellite technology brought 24/7 news, MTV and other so-called entertainment in a such way that television and those who make it became the omnipresent arbiters of social mores. If TV was the babysitter of the Boomers, it became mother, father, teacher and preacher to all who came after.

So it's not surprising that two-thirds of the biggest turnout of the vaunted "youth vote" in years turned out to elect a man of scanty credentials and no executive experience at all. Since the 1960s, maturity is not considered cool, and most kids since that awful decade have grown up thinking that their goal in life is to clean up the messes made by their parents; the reasons behind them be damned. And Mr. Obama is the essence of that modern mantra: coolness counts most, and consequences be damned.

Barack “Hollywood” Obama

Rapper 'Ludacris'

Lyrics to Ludacris' Obama rap song, "Obama Is Here":

"Hey... I'm back on it

like I just signed my record deal, yeah the best is here

The Bentley Coupe paint is drippin wet, it got sex appeal

Never shoulda hated, you never shoulda doubted him

With a slot in the President's iPod, Obama shouted him

Said I handled my biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers

Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer

Better yet put me in office, make me a Vice President

Hillary hated on you so that bitch is irrelevant

Now Jesse talkin slick and apologizin for WHAT~?!

If you said it then you MEANT it how you want it, head or gut

And all you other politicians tryin to hate on my man

Watch us win majority vote in every STATE on my man

You cain't stop what's 'bout to happen, we 'bout to make history

The first black President it's destined and it's meant to be

The threats ain't fazin us, the nooses or the jokes

Get off your ass black people it's time to get out and vote

Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified

McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed

Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped

Ball up all of his speeches and just throw 'em like candy wraps

Cause what you talkin I hear nothin even relevant

And you the worst of all 43 Presidents

Get out and vote, or the end'll be near

And the world is ready for change cause Obama is here

YEAHHH! Cause Obama is here

The world is ready for change cause Obama is here

Yeahhhh, cause Obama is here

Say world is ready for change cause Obama is here

Hey!

Since Obama just twiddles his Blackberry, there will be no need to build a big library to house his letters, etc., after he leaves. He’d only need a website, well, assuming he doesn’t hit delete before he goes, like he seemed to do with all his previous documents, experience, university, etc.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

And he attracts very freaky girls.

[Sig Sauer P220]

He be down wid dat!

[Eye of Unk]

Fads fade, Obama is a diet that is starving America, its full of nothing.

[dmz]

Wasn’t this sobriquet already given to Bill Clinton?

[AJMCQ]

The problem with liberals in a nutshell; image over substance. They all want to hang out with “the cool kids”. LOVE ME!!!

[KansasGirl]

If we are going to have a “rock star” President, can it atleast be Ted Nugent?

[Ukiapah Heep]

Sometimes it just be's that way.

[ETL]

And sometimes it be that ‘other’ way.

[JRios1968]

[ETL]

Lol! Very good! And quick!

[Sig Sauer P220]

Shouldn’t it say “yo ass”?

[JRios1968]

I didn’t make it, it found me

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

God help us. Funny the MSM isn't writing about the racism in "Obama is Here." To do so would be "racist."

We are like ignorant shepherds living on a site where great civilizations once flourished. The shepherds play with the fragments that pop up to the surface, having no notion of the beautiful structures of which they were once a part.

He's the Warholian candidate, famous for 15 minutes, he was branded like PEPSI.

He’s an atheist like Obama.
