President Barack Obama has offered up some words of wisdom and advice for presidential hopeful Kanye West at the Democratic National Committee this weekend.
At the publicized event, President Obama joked about Ye’s run at the presidency.
“Do you really think that this country is going to elect a black guy from the South Side of Chicago with a funny name to be president,” Obama quipped. “You’re going to hear from a guy who I hear is talking about launching a potential political career. Kanye is thinking about running for… Speaker of the House. … Couldn’t get any stranger, but in case Kanye’s serious about this whole POTUS thing, I do have some advice for him. There’s some stuff I picked up along the way.”
“First of all, you got to spend a lot of time dealing with some strange characters who behave like they’re on a reality TV show,” Obama continued, a jab at Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “Second important tip: Saying that you have a beautiful dark twisted fantasy? That’s what’s known as off-message in politics. You can’t say something like that. A lot of people have lost their congressional seats saying things like that.”
