Obama To Kids “You’re Not Lil Wayne… Stay In School”

Posted in Entertainment, Politics on Jul 09, 2008

Ebony Mag hit the nail on the head when they said Obama is cool. Yesterday at an event in Powder Spings Ga. Obama showed the ATL just how cool he was.

The quote from Obama:

You are probably not that good a rapper. Maybe you are the next Lil’ Wayne, but probably not, in which case you need to stay in school,” Obama, D-Ill., told a cheering crowd, brought to a standing ovation at a town hall meeting in Powder Springs, Georgia. The presumptive Democratic nominee was speaking about high school drop out rates and the need for people to be committed to working hard in school so they can get a job after school. Obama said he knows some young men think they can’t find a job unless they are a really good basketball player. “Which most of you brothas are not,” Obama, who played basketball in high school, a sport he continues to play to this day, said jokingly. “I know you think you are, but you’re not. You are over-rated in your own mind. You will not play in the NBA.”  Source
