I have been speaking with several friends over the weekend and today about President Obama's winning the Nobel Peace Prize. In all those discussions, it suddenly dawned on me that President Obama may be the older twin of Kanye West.
Think about it for a moment. You will be surprised by the number of similarities both men have.
Both have had the media lavish praise on them.
Both believe they should be praised for appearing anywhere.
Kanye West goes to MTV Awards (US and Europe) and must always have a mike, get an award, and express his opinion - President Obama expects praise whenever he makes a speech, went to Denmark and expected to get the Olympics, and creates policy based on his personal beliefs.
Both men have a Jesus complex (West on Rolling Stone, Obama gets it from MSNBC)
Both are considered rockstars in thier respective industries.
Neither seems to have a clue about reality.
Both are Black.
Both love to hear themselves speak.
Both have a fanbase that will defend them no matter what they do.
Both are Democrats (and Liberals to the best of my knowledge)
Both have bad tempers when their faults are pointed out.
Obviously President Obama is older. They are not related. And the Presidency is far more important. But still it just seems so uncanny how many things they have in common.
Too bad that neither benefits from the similarities.
