Obama is looking handsome in this 
He is best looking president that I have ever seen/very suave.Obama is looking handsome in this
....No need to chase somebody else's dream
good message. just the feeling behind it i had a slight problem with. keeping it real it's not even that big of a deal and i just found it kinda funny overall. i don't know maybe little kid did need that ether. maybe the ether will make him focus more on his school work. or maybe it'll make him succeed even more at basketball. who really knows. i just thought it was a slight scumbag type of attitude which i found
as far as little kid being black. i really don't give a fukk.

Kid was so smug

Obama:
Ppl in here downing hoop dreams and sports overall and completely disregarding that this is the exact way that has helped THOUSANDS of black men/ women go to University for free or at a huge discount
I got friends who have degrees and dont owe any school loans because of sports, instead of being in college debt like most
I get the overall message but lets not act like this is black and white. Sports can still give plenty level headed blacks the means of successfully receiving a paid for higher-education even if they dont go pro brehs

I would hate to be president.
who is the black woman groveling on the floor?
I'm glad little rae rae was followed up by studious Black kids...
lil Dijon had kinda messed up Obama's flow though, he addressed those next black kids with 'homies' & they gave him that look
he fell back in line after that
I don't think anyone is disregarding that at all. If your catalyst for going to college is basketball or another sport, by all means, do it. But being realistic about your possibilities of making it should be on the other side of that coin. Besides, I assume this kid has a knack for science.
Even if my catalyst for going isnt sports that doesnt mean I shouldnt work hard at them
You could be planning on going to college regardless but being good at a sport will get you a free ride so why not focus on one if I have the passion for it
As long as I'm hitting the books, sports could be just as crucial as my GPA when talking higher education
You have to remember Obama had hoop dreams too untill HS when his dreams came shattering down when he found out he had a hard time even competing with Polynesians in Hawaii.

Well lil buddy in the video said he was going to college to play basketball. No mention of actually having an interest in higher education. Kids like that think college is just the next step to their NBA dream.
