President Barack Obama gave Kanye West some advice about getting elected on Saturday.
The rapper recently announced he was running for president in 2020. Obama, alluding to the inability of House Republicans to find a new speaker, suggested Kanye could be a candidate for that position instead.
“You may have heard that Kanye is thinking about running for Speaker of the House. It couldn’t get any stranger,” Obama said at a fundraiser in San Francisco. He dispensed some tips “in case Kanye is serious about this whole POTUS thing, or as Kanye calls it, ‘Peezy.'”
“Do you really think this country is going to elect a black guy from the south side of Chicago with a funny name to be president of the United States?” Obama said. “That’s cray.”
“Saying you have a beautiful dark twisted fantasy — that’s what’s known as ‘off message’ in politics,” he continued.
Obama also suggested that West’s appearances on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” might serve him well in politics.
“You got to deal with strange characters who behave as if they are on a reality TV show,” Obama said.
From the moment Kanye came out in the open with his intention to run for president , flooding the social media scene are comments from those expressing how unsuitable he is for the office and from those simply wondering if this was a stunt or something Kanye is serious about.
To many , the idea of Yeezy filling the office of Speaker of the House is way too far-fetched. But some of us reckon that life has never stopped being a mystery , dishing out scoops of surprises each day that we rather chose to have the approach which believes that a human mind, coupled with a strong will, commitment and dedication can achieve unimaginable things.
If Kanye doesn’t make it to the White House, at least he should be admired for being one in a million, to dare to dream big. Many of us are afraid to even think we can own a house, a company, an institution or sit in the office of Head of State. For what it’s worth, may Kanye’s boldness be an inspiration to us all.
