[Because we love the man over here at Freshloveink, we give you more Barack Obama]
After a tough debate in Pennsylvania, Barack Obama inacted the famous reference of brushing dirt off yo’ shoulder, ladies and gentleman.
After conceding that the Philly debate was tough, he brushed the imaginary lint of Hillary, George and Charlie from his shoulders, in a wordless reference to Jay-Z’s lyrics in his anthem about not letting anyone crimp your ride as you cruise from the bottom to the top: “Got some, dirt on my shoulder, could you brush it off for me.”
Apparently the Illinois Senator listens to Jay Z, as well as soul music favorites Earth Wind and Fire and The Temptations making him the coolest motha&%*# ever to run for President of the U.S. of A.
Maureen Dowd of the New York Times certainly seems to think so but she gives him some pretty good criticism about it, expressing that Mr. Obama should remember that cool cats are still – cats who attack when provoked.
[B[efore it’s signed, sealed and delivered, as his campaign song goes, Obama will have to balance his cool with some heat, as J.F.K. did.
Yet another J.F.K. reference. There’s more article at the link. Let us boy’s over here at FreshLoveInk know what y’all think. Should he come with some heat or sit back and play it cool like P Diddy being questioned about the murder of a certain hip hop legend name – SHUT YO’ MOUTH!!!
