Kim Kardashian Sending Barack Obama a "Special Delivery," President Gives Kanye West Advice--
Kim Kardashian posted on her Instagram page on
Saturday a photo of two boxes of sneakers from
husband Kanye West's Yeezy Boost 350 and 750
collections, with Post-It notes reading, "Obama."
One pair is a size 11 and 1/2 and the other is a size
12.
Joined by tennis champ Serena Williams, the
pregnant Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, the
rapper and their 2-year-old daughter North West
had traveled to San Francisco, California to attend a
Democratic National Committee fundraiser for
President Barack Obama. Kanye was the headlining
performer at the Saturday morning event.
Speaking at the podium, the U.S. leader gave some
humorous advice to the rapper, who had declared
at the 2015 MTV VMAs that he plans to run for
president in 2020.
"In case Kanye is serious about this POTUS thing,
or as he calls it, Peezy,' I do have advice for him,"
Obama joked, as seen in a video posted on
Facebook by ABC7 in San Francisco "First of all,
you have to spend a lot of time dealing with strange
characters who behave as if they are on a reality
TV show. So you've gotta be cool with that."
"And second, this is the second important tip:
Saying you have a beautiful dark twisted fantasy--
that's what's known as 'off message' in politics.
you can't say something like that," he said.
His third piece of advice hit close to home.
"Do you really think this country is going to elect a
black guy from the south side of Chicago with a
funny name to be president of the United States?
That is crazy! That's cray!" he said, drawing
cheers from the crowd.
Obama had met Kim and Kanye, a native of Atlanta,
in Washington, D.C. almost exactly one year ago.
During their meeting, he gave them a gift--a signed
photo of the three.
"To Kanye & Kim -- Thanks for the support and
best wishes to your lovely daughter!" it read.
