Barack: What REAL Swagger Looks Like.

I voted for Obama because he was clearly a better choice than the other guy, but my vote for him in 2012 is not a foregone conclusion. I'm hoping for the emergence of a third party candidate who captures my imagination. The Republicans are heartless and the Democrats are spineless. I agree about Obama being intelligent, confident, poised, tactical, having class, etc., etc., but he's part of the system and the system is badly broken. Follow the money! I'm not saying that he hasn't done some good or that he's not better than Bush, but if I believed in Biblical prophecy, I'd be seriously wondering if Obama might be the antichrist. It's time to get real and move beyond the celebrity worship. Follow the money!

I guess, Kels, this this makes me a "hating ass black male." LOL

not that im a conspiracy theorist, but im not buying ! this man blew up the towers supposedly and gave us grief for over a decade, but no body, no pictures, a discreet burial at sea no reaction in Pakistan. Saddam who was just as nefarious but who did far less to us, was dragged out of his whole, put on parade, on trial. somethin
isn't right here. and its nothign against Obama because i do not dislike him,or even saying he masterminded it if is a hoax, I am just not buying this, especially with election being next year

That is an excellent point. I was called the N word once by a really disgruntled, older white man. I was shocked at my reaction: I laughed. It was really so absurd.

Have you noticed that the politicians who can dish it but cannot take it are the most mediocre? Sarah Palin and wealthy wanna-be Trump leap to mind.

There are so many black men out there in the general public and especially in the media, who have real problems with President Obama. I can't tell you how many times I've heard black men question his manhood and his blackness for not going ballistic every time some douche bag Republican said something bad about him or his wife.

What I love about this President is that he does not have the inferiority complex that a good 90 percent of black men have. He knows he's the shit. Why would he get upset with some idiot putting out a racist email? He ain't sweating it. He knows he's above them in every way. But your average black man is ready to fight every racist white person who talks shit because deep down, they believe the shit. They believe they are a ni#ger. They believe they're stupid. They believe their features are ugly and so on and so on.

Barack Obama knows who he is and he knows where he comes from. Most black men don't. And that's why some of his biggest critics are hating ass black males.

Wonderful post Chris. I couldn't have said better myself.

I'll agree that Obama is not a thug. But always remember, he's a Chicago politician and they play for keeps. He's verrrry good to his friends and doesn't care about the law if your not. From http://volokh.com/2011/05/02/the-death-of-bin-laden-and-the-morality-of-targeted-killings/

ILYA SOMIN: “From an international law perspective, it’s worth noting that the operation against Bin Laden is an example of targeted killing. Although we don’t yet know very many details, it’s pretty obvious that the US targeted Bin Laden deliberately, something the President more or less admitted in his speech, where he said that we have been tracking Bin Laden for many months (presumably for the purpose of targeting him as an individual). In the past, such targeted killings have drawn criticism from human rights organizations and others who claim that they violate international law. . . . It’s unlikely that there will be much criticism of the operation against Bin Laden.”

Targetted killing? Sounds like something out of The Sopranos.

love that 1st picture, saw it over @ TPM and DailyKos.

Congratulation to President Obama, the Navy Seal and everyone who accomplished this. Millions around the world are happy that Usama Bin Laden is finally dead, including Muslims whom directly or indirectly he has killed the most. Perhaps now he won't be the boggy man to profile and discriminate against anyone who remotely 'looks' Muslim.

I agree there is more shady business to come.

Trump of course is a side show and smoke screen to keep people entertained and not focused on the issues. Also I am sure he has too many whores.....or as his beloved "blacks or the blacks" say "he got hoes in every area code".

Since they cant crack the shell, soon they will find his polar opposite to distract folks.....and in a way say....well here is the true BM we all have come to know.

So I'm sure some crazy black killer or rapist on the loose will overtake the news, who commited some horrendous crime like kill a few kindly grandmothers or for horrendous and newsworthy killed a few sweet old WHITE grandmothers.

IF that doesn't work they can always bring up Gay marriage :-)

Meanwhile Obama is passing a healthcare bill and catching Osama Bin Laden.

Like I told my friend last night, Obama is King!!! First, he interrupted the Apprentice at a crucial time when Trump was going to announce who was going to be fired, and then when he did, it was a bombshell. Osama Bin Laden is dead!!! And then, to top it all off, he and Michelle were on Oprah. Tell me, who's got some swagga!!

Hello, I'm pretty new to your blog. I like it!
This is why the president was nick-named "Spock" a few years back by some fans and detractors. He is cool, logical, and very deliberate (and professorial) at least when it comes to his professional life!
Did you see Seth Meyer made a joke about Bin Laden having a show on C-Span but no one knows about it because no one watches C-Span? I'll bet the president was thinking, "I got this!"

That macro is the GREATEST!!!!!!! lololol

I hope the whole birth certificate hoopla is over!

How much do I love our President? My mother and sister clapped during his address last night and I literally threw my hands in the air.

Of course the haters are coming out full force right now. I think I may have to avoid facebook for the next week or so. My older cousin is on there right now spouting some seriously ignorant shizz that initially I was surprised by, but now, not so much. He's pretty much President Obama's antithesis. Has 8 kids by 6 different women, no job and barely managed to get his GED. *sigh* I need to woosah...

I was the first to comment but my comment disappeared. Like I said, Michelle is so lucky and if there were more black men like Obama, Bill Cosby (the show), Colin Powell, black women would have a field day. But alas you must cross the pond to find them.. Good going Pres.. That's coming from a very proud Navy Vet!

PLEASE!!!!! Don't make me HURL before lunch.... OSama/Obama I think I know where the real taliban leader is....
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20500

Or Dallas Tx.

but give me a break.... Obama is STILL a LOser. WTF up.

Reply to Knock Out Check--by the way love the name:

In answer to the question about what one would say about going bankrupt three times after having millions of dollars--there would never have been a second time! You would have been out. The credit system in America punishes people like us--ain't no one strike, you're out! It's one strike, you are out of the game.

I do so love the fact that Obama will not be clowned by charlatans like Donald Trump!

Mr. Trump BTW, called for the execution of a few black and Latino boys who were forced into confessing for a crime they did not commit 10 years ago in New York. Scared teenagers who did what cops told them to do and served time for crimes they did not commit. Later they were released after a stroke of bad conscious caused the real rapist to confess.

These boys were dragged through the mud because of a circus created by that clown Donald Trump who jumped on the coat tails of the story to gain publicity for himself. He could have had the deaths of young boys....children really on his hands and yet he walks around with his chest out. Yet people respect him.

If my Daddy GAVE me a million dollars and I went bankrupt three times...what would people say about me.? SMH

Obama on the other hand has to "Show and Prove" everyday and I am so glad he is doing it so well. I mean, really the best the Obama opposition has is Trump, Palin and Bachman??? We should then have 16 more years of Obama if it were possible.

He is hilarious!!!! I love it!!! This could be on Funny Friday! But seriously, I love wit and a good sense of humor about one's self above all else. He has a way of just cutting you down with a turn of a phrase that is so awesome. He's like the guy you want to have over for dinner and drinks with the family. I have friends like this and I love them to death. The President just cut people up right to their faces!!! Nice! Now that's swagger!

Barack... *swoons*

I agree that Barack Obama has "it". He is great. Extremely good-looking, intelligent, and caring -- that is the recipe for a great man.

Character above color. Love it!

yep yep... alot of idiots believe that swag is having your pants below your waist, showing your drawers, wear big chains around your neck and nasty a#@ grills in your teeth... oh boy are they wrong!!!

This is a man. This is how a man handles his business.

God bless and keep him,his family and the United States of America.

Oh congratulations Americans! He's a good man Obama. A real man. He got that Mandela composure (for the most part, he did seem upset about the whole birth certificate on his press conference about it. But who who wouldn't).

He might not see himself as Biracial but I'm going to use him as a inspiration for my children to see how far they can go.

But you should have put Osama head on a stick on the white house lawn instead of being so picky about their customs with funerals ;)
