CNN News Flash: ‘White Presidents Have No Swagga’

From CNN, the “respected” news station that brought us the painful thuggery of reporter Susan Roesgen’s nasty, biased attack on conservative protesters at the Chicago Tea Party (thanks, Founding Bloggers!), we now have supposedly professional anchors Kyra Phillips’ and T.J. Holmes’ analysis of what has been wrong with all US presidents all through America’s history up until now… those stuffy, serious white presidents had no SWAGGA.
And having swagga is obviously important in a president, or a serious news station (cough) like CNN wouldn’t be discussing it, right?
Obama’s got swagga, Billy Dee Williams’ got swagga, Shaq’s got swagga, Shaft’s got swagga… but not white presidents. No swagga.
Imagine how much more effective a leader Lincoln or Reagan could’ve been if only either of them had only had that extra-special SWAGGA… and if they had made an effort to have also been more hip, cool, young, open, and inclusive as president. (Job performance, experience, ideologies, leadership, patriotism, foreign affairs prowess? Important only if accompanied by swaggggggaaaa… must be true, if CNN says so).
As many of us recall, George W. Bush definitely had swagga, but he was mocked and maligned for it by the media. Go figure.
As radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh says frequently about the drooling adoration of Pres. Obama, “It isn’t WHAT he says, it’s HOW he says it.” And now, thanks to CNN, it’s no longer just HOW he says it, but how he “SWAGGAS” it.
Watch this bizarre, embarrassing love-fest discussion between CNN’s anchors discussing Obama’s 100-day address and of course, his SWAGGA. For Pete’s sake, this is our POTUS, not a bubble-gum teen idol on the cover of Tiger Beat that they’re discussing.
Mind numbing buffalo chips here.
Too bad Mick Jagger isn’t a US citizen… based on his confident swagga, per CNN’s pea-brained talking heads, he could be a great president.
Elvis Presley and John Wayne also had some serious swagga, but, well, they’re dead. Yet again, if Pennsylvania senator Arlen Specter (who many think passed away years ago and has been replaced by a member of the Borg collective) can make national headlines after doing a career CYA by switching from the Republican to Democrat party, maybe “The King” and “The Duke” have a chance for “The POTUS” title.
Wonder if “swagga-ing” rapper Eminem would consider running for POTUS in 2012? Maybe Kyra and T.J. could do some serious investigative reporting and find out for us? After all, they make the big bucks…
Bleah. Obama drool bucket is overflowing.

Disgraceful. Reverse racism.
Would anyone be upset if commentary was made in a previous administration about why white guys are cooler to be president than any other named minority? You bet your bleepin’ ass they would be.
This is journalism??? CNN, you suck.
