Obama jokes of getting dreadlocks after leaving office

President Obama said jokingly Thursday that he might go back to wearing dreadlocks when his presidency is over.

Promoting anti-poverty programs at the White House, Mr. Obama called attention to Roger Brown, a young African-American man from Harlem in New York City who was standing with him on the stage. Mr. Brown, a student at Hunter College, wears his hair in short dreadlocks.



“I used to have a haircut like that,” Mr. Obama said to laughter. “And maybe, after I’m done with the presidency, I’m going back to that.”

Turning serious, the president noted that both he and the young man had been raised by single mothers.

“If you want to know why I care about this stuff so much, it’s because I’m not that different from Roger,” the president said. “There was a period of time in my life where I was goofing off. I was raised by a single mom. I didn’t know my dad. The only difference between me and Roger was my environment was more forgiving than his. That’s the only difference. If I screwed up, the consequences weren’t quite as great.”

"The Tea Party has a right to feel cheated.

When does the Republican Party, put in the majority by the Tea Party, plan to honor its commitment to halt the growth of the Federal monolith and bring the budget back into balance"?

I think it's time for Obama to make an Exodus to the Fatherland.............
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.
