Watch Obama Break Down Democracy and Quote Janet Jackson

Sun, Jul 26

While highlighting the sometimes 'frustrating' aspects of helming a democratic nation in front of a crowd in Kenya, President Barack Obama throws it back to a classic Janet Jackson hit from the '80s — ooh ooh ooh yeah!

Only took him... 7.5 years :rolleyes:

“People aren’t interested in what you’ve inherited…[It’s like] ‘What have you done for me lately?’” he said. “I’m not interested in spinning my way out of it.”

He must have used the same line because he is in Kenya this week.   I don't think he had Janet in mind.  He would have said her name the way he does other artists when he uses their lines

Not necessarily.....I have heard him use this line before with a lot more sass and it's part of his vernacular due to his knowledge of Janet Jackson's WHYDFML. He doesn't need to credit her publicly for using it though.

 There's a post on J|X where the person ran into him at WSC before he became president and stated he likes Nasty and quoted WHYDFML.
