The Celebrity in Chief's New Political Plank


September 19th was International Talk Like a Pirate Day, a fanciful faux holiday where people are encouraged to blurt out buccaneer phrases in casual conversation.  To wit, President Barack Obama tweeted this picture.

While it is kind of cute for Mr. Obama to participate in this visual joke.  But it took time and planning for the Celebrity in Chief to set up for this Pirate picture.  This same week, President Obama made time to appear on Late Night with David Letterman to face tough questions from the host such as "Have you seen me naked?"



Later, Obama went to a fund-raiser with Beyonce and Jay-Z which included a $280,000 tower of champagne.

When does President Obama have time to govern, or even attend a daily National Security briefing?

Jay Z Inspired Faux Obama Rap

Jay Z with Obama in the background

During the dog days of summer, it is a good time to enjoy some non-polemic political parody before the full throes of the Presidential campaign.

This video by Iman Crosson (a.k.a. Alphacat) filks Jay Z's rap 99 Problems.




Methinks the protagonist protests too much. And it clearly is not authentic as the first person singular is not used enough during the rap.

Apologies to Jay Z.  For that matter, apologies for Jay Z.
