Barack Obama offers rapper Kanye West ‘advice’ for successful political career

In 2013, meanwhile, West told a Philadelphia radio station that he was no longer going to mention Obama in conversation.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf greets the crowd at a Democratic… That’s what we stand for as Democrats, that’s what I believe this country stands for.

Kanye West for the White House in 2020 strikes President Barack Obama as “strange”, even “cray”.

“It’s about ideas, bro”.

“It’d be amusing if it wasn’t this big existential problem”, the president said of the Republican doubts.

West, who is married to reality television star Kim Kardashian, has declared he will consider running for president in 2020.

The pair has obviously patched over any ill-feeling after Mr Obama famously labelled West a “jackass” in 2009 for crashing the stage at the VMAs and hijacking an award given to Taylor Swift.

“Couldn’t get any stranger, but in case Kanye’s serious about this whole POTUS thing or, as he calls it, Peezy, I do have advice for him”, Obama said.

First of all you’ve got to deal with odd characters who behave as if they are on a reality TV show. You can’t get much more reviled than having a sitting president calling you names, so seeing Ye and Barack chummy again is a warm and happy ending.

Obama had clearly done his homework on Kanye as he referenced the rapper’s fifth studio album, My lovely Dark Twisted Fantasy, for his next tip.

Obama inspired the viewers to be politically lively and says he plans to stay so when his presidency concludes, saying “I’m simply getting began”. There are a lot of people who’ve lost their congressional seats saying things like that. Obama asked. “That is insane”.

President Obama had a few words of advice this morning for the 2020 campaign’s current frontrunner. He has always been a supporter of Mr Obama, and has performed at several Democrat events. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.2 percentage points. Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson has also praised Kanye West, and has been in communication with him.

“Fanning intolerance isn’t going to solve the problem”, Obama said.
