Each year, after my not so distant cousin’s State of the Union address, I have this regular thing of writing a short piece as tribute to him, and to put my irresistible sense of satisfaction about him into words...Now Listen: Maybe he only changed the complexion and not necessarily the direction of the Whitehouse. Maybe he is not “Black Jesus”. Maybe he is only personable and not a true leader. Maybe what pathological challengers say about him and his policies are right, or maybe they’re just willfully ignorant. Maybe he is genuinely interested in world peace, or perhaps just war hungry. Maybe his support for education, the middle class, environment, health, women and veterans is all a political frontage, or maybe not. Say what you will about him, that’s none of my business, but an undeniable fact about him that really matters to me is that to this point, he is the coolest and the most elegant and eloquent President that America has ever had; and even if you believe his speeches are only perfectly scripted, be reminded that it takes finesse to act it the way he does it. Now let me unpack the word ‘COOLEST’ to not only referring to his amazing intelligence and casual and humble conduct. I am talking about an incredible human being who’s willing to lose ground with very influential people in order to do what’s best for the best part of his people, one who’s all the time striving to bring hope to the hurting; a man who wants to see social equality, as in shared growth over the growth of only a select few. You only need to be real and willing to think objectively to be in agreement that Barack Obama really rocks, and to overlook his flip ups, knowing that every human being will have his share of blunders. See how hard he is striving to bring more change even in his final two years in office. Now what can be more important than that unselfish stand? He is building a legacy that shall forever be remembered in the annals of history, without a shred of doubt. #POTUS #SOTU #NotSoDistantCousin
