Get Your Mind Right: Barack Obama Is Jay-Z

Jay-Z just might be Barack Obama.

Jay, of course, campaigned heavily for the 44th President of the United States. Obama, at one point, made headlines for referencing Jay-Z’s 2003 anthem "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" (complete with gesture). There it is, proof positive.
Not convinced yet?

Besides the fact that the two have never actually been seen in the same place at the same time (okay, maybe they have- but you can do anything with technology these days), consider a few other astonishing similarities:

1. Both are rich.

Jay-Z is worth an estimated $547 million dollars, and is (by his own admission) in pursuit of a billion. Barack Obama recently gave away $700 billion in “stimulus” money.

2. Both are important.

Without Jay-Z we wouldn’t have such classics as The Blueprint and Reasonable Doubt. Without Barack Obama, we’d have John McCain.

3. Both work for corporate America.

Jay-Z has advertised for everyone from Reebok to Budweiser to Hewlett Packard…Not to mention the companies that he actually owns himself. Barack Obama is President of the United States of America.

    • JayZ is a lucky hack who is married to a more talented individual. I would say that Beyonce and Michelle are both more talented than thier husbands so thats one simmilarity but the truth is that JayZ is a role model of the past and is now an embarassment. Kids shouldn't want to be rappers they should want to be the president! And now they have proof they can be!
