Brett Nichols, a 17-year-old junior, stole the show at Pitman High School’s talent show last week in Turlock, Calif. To the tune of “Billie Jean,” Jackson’s 1983 No. 1 hit, Nichols mimics the smooth dance shuffle and leg bends the King of Pop made famous. He even moonwalks — a step that generates cries of delight from the audience, just as it did when Jackson first did it on the “Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever” NBC special in 1983.
Nichols told News10 that old Jackson YouTube videos got him hooked, and led to the natural next step: “This is something that really inspires me, and then it was later I thought, ‘Why isn’t this something I can’t do?'”
His segment starts around 1:11 in the video — don’t miss it!
In a time of turmoil – fighting two wars, going through the worst economic recession since the Great Depression, dealing with unemployment figures presently at 9.7% nationwide, the international issues regarding Israel and Palestine, China, Iran, Russia to name a few and now the Deepwater Horizon oil spill caused by BP – president Obama has so far kept a cool head trying to navigate through all these obstacles. And that’s what is expected in times of trials and hardship, someone who knows the issues, has a plan to get past the issues and is keeping a calm head while navigating through the issues.
President Barack Obama
Conservatives however wants a screeming, crying and confused leader who gets distracted by every issue that comes up and start throwing a fit. They’re not concerned about the plans in place to deal with the issues. They’re only concerned about the theatrics of a president who drops everything and pop up in every television shot, crying about what’s going on and the Armageddon of the situation.
Well it seems that the president heard their cry for more emotions. He seem to have lost his “cool” in an interview with NBC’s Today Show host Matt Lauer. Mr Lauer asked the following question;
Critics are now talking about your style which is the first time I’ve heard that in a long time. And they’re saying,”here’s a guy who likes to be known as cool and calm and collected, and this isn’t the time for cool, calm and collected. That this is not the time to meet with experts and advisors, this is a time to spend more time in the Gulf and, I never thought I’ll say this to a president, but kick some butt.”
President Obama chuckles at the suggestion, then replied;
“I was down there a month ago, before most of these talking heads were even paying attention to the gulf,” he told Lauer. “A month ago I was meeting with fishermen down there, standing in the rain talking about what a potential crisis this could be. And I don’t sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar; we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick.”
They have accused President Obama of being too cool. Saying that he’s not showing enough emotions and because of that, they accuse him of being disconnected from the common folk. This group of people have put themselves opposite of President Obama on every single issue, so what will they do now that President Obama is taking a harder stance?
The Conservatives and Republicans will now called him the “angry black man.”
