Nevermind, not even gonna derail this thread.
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Derail away my good sir. I mean Obama is a cool dude. But from a realistic stand point, he hasn't done +$$$ in office. There hasn't been an iconic president, meaningful president worthy of praise since JFK. But in all honesty he won the election off of "swag". An intelligent, eloquent speaking young energetic black man with the smile and wit that makes 85% of the world forget all presidents are pawns in the match.[/font]
The simple fact that he is a black man who went to Harvard law and was a community activist is admirable.
He has done a lot
He has upped the ante.
"Swag"

On another note, tickets went on sale to hear the Dalai Lama speak in San Diego, and I missed on my chance. It would have been cool to hear him speak, and see whether or not he would've made my list.

But these people are always the hot heads who get fired for going off..
The ones with nobody at their funeral cause they always "kept it real"
Censorship is not a bad thing, not every feeling needs to be expressed, kanye is VERY female like to me.
But hey thats yo dude let me stop hating.
people like others who keep it real others don't, there's times when you should speak and times when you shouldn't. like shoefreak said not every feeling needs to be expressed, Kanye chose his various 'moments' and he's known for what he is today. Is it better to know how someone really feels then never or real late? in an kinda same example is Would everybody still liked Jordan if him being a-hole was known to be 100% fact during his prime instead of retired and years after touching the court? only to be found out with Chamillionaire and past teammates stories etc

I've never really idolized anybody, because i had my father and older brothers around, but i've never heard about Pharrell being mean, I've seen him perform he comes out to the crowd... He's always showing love, and i heard he does actually live/or go back to VA beach alot... If i could be a public figure it would be Pharrell

Why create a thread only to bash those who answer your question? Sense not made.

I don't really know what you were trying to say ... But for what it is, yes I respect people that speak their mind when doing so for a cause. I can only think of two events w/ Kanye, feel free to correct me if there are more. When he said Beyonce should have won & that George Bush does not care about black people, I'm sure many people think the same way but they have blogs. I mean people take it like Kanye was talking about genocide or something, sure at any point I can tell you who I think should win best music video and I have heard comedians & entertainers say George Bush doesn't care about black people well before Kanye.

The ones idolizing rappers who made millions off of drugs and gun talk, need no acknowledgement, that's just smh style.
I am not a republican, an anti-democrat, any BS like that. I am anti our flawed gov't and it's evil powerzszsz.
I mean, I was realistic about my "hate" towards him. In all actuality I think Obama is an awesome dude. Any president who can ball and be as cool as him is good in my book.
But, still no president really deserves acclaim they are just puppets...and he is even kind of a republican.
but republican is probably just a BIG WORD you know, but do not know the meaning of
