Now that we are HERE, here are five burning questions that kill me when I think about Barack Obama's presidency?
1. If elected (Once elected for the cocky people) will be assassinated?
JFK was. Martin was. All the leaders that wanted to make an extreme change in America suddenly were obsolete. Now comes Barack. Promising change and a new America. Only time will tell.
2. If elected and his presidency doesn't live up to expectations, will the media and people rip him apart?
Well I believe Obama has the people in the palm of his hands but as far as the media goes thats another story. Obama has made plenty of promises and his to do list is looking quite large. And if the media doesn't see immediate moves expect a slaying of his name. Barack is a wholesome, well-spoken gentlemen, but the media is an unforgiving monster and no matter the race, gender, creed or income they will do as they may.
3. At this point, has Barack earned the right to be on the Mt. Rushmore of Black Leaders (i.e. - Martin, Malcolm, Jesse & Garvey)?
I believe so. The biggest difference between the four I mentioned is that Barack is living in a different time period. Those past leaders were trying to unite blacks and blacks with whites. In today's society, Barack is trying to unite all races and ethnic backgrounds. He is not jus redefining Black America, but America as well.
4. Will Hip Hop hurt Barack's presidency campaign?
From Nas' "Black President" to Young Jeezy's "My President is Black", emcess have been spitting some hard lyrics to support Obama's campaign trail, but I think they need to hold the horses. On Ludacris' "The Preview" Mixtape he refers to Hilary as a bitch and McCain as an old man. Even though the lyrics might support the eyes and ears of Hip Hop, if the media and McCain's campaign gain that evidence, they could always reword it to make it look like Obama was in the video for it. I suggest all rappers to put the mics down til the parade and then you can come congratulate our newest President with your hottest 16.
5. Will he win?
thou shall be KING.
i-n.
