President Obama Jokes About Kanye West As President

Obama cracked some jokes about Kanye West as POTUS.

Both President Obama and Kanye West guested at a
fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee today in San
Francisco. It had been reported that West would use the
occasion to perform songs from his upcoming album, SWISH .



Tickets cost up to $10,000 .
Variety reports that, before Kanye's performance, Obama gave
a speech and made a few jokes about Kanye's 2020
presidential candidacy, which the rapper announced after he
won the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV
Video Music Awards in August.

"In a little while you are going to hear from a guy who is
thinking about getting into politics...in case Kanye is serious
about this whole POTUS thing, or, as Kanye calls it, 'peezy.'"

He went on to offer some words of advice for Kanye if he,
indeed, is able to become the country's second black
president.

"You've got to deal with strange characters who behave as if
they are on a reality TV show. Saying you have a beautiful
dark twisted fantasy — that's what’s known as off-message in
politics."

And perhaps his best joke of the day:

"Do you really think this country is going to elect a black guy
from the south side of Chicago with a funny name to be
president of the U.S.?"
