Young Jeezy Not Impressed With McCain
Posted by Brian
Rapper YOUNG JEEZY was left unimpressed after appearing on TV alongside U.S. Republican presidential hopeful JOHN McCAIN - branding the politician a “fraud”. The 30 year old, real name Jay Jenkins, appeared with McCain on U.S. TV show Saturday Night Live in May, and questioned the politician about his policies and how they would help improve America.
But the hip-hop star wasn’t convinced by McCain’s answers, and is choosing to champion Democrat leader Barack Obama instead.
He says:
“I told him the ‘hood was f**ked up, and he was like, ‘How you doing?’” (It was) real talk. They know entertainers, so they shake your hand (and say), ‘I’m your friend.’ But my mama is about to have surgery that I gotta pay for out of my pocket because she can’t get insurance. I don’t really feel McCain. It ain’t just because Barack is black; he can make change. Just like Bush equals recession, Barack equals progression. I really feel that.”
McCain probably gave that response cause he was really trying to wrap his hand around, “Who are you and why are you talking to me?” He probably thought he would have a couple of people more to his liking on the show than Young Jeezy. Might explain part of McCain’s problems in the polls so far.
