"Brothers Should Pull Up Their Pants!"
Here at CounterProgramming, we want to reach out to President-Elect Obama in a spirit of bipartisan cooperation and work together to blah blah blah. Thus, I am pleased to report that only days after his election -- an election I strongly opposed -- I have already found an area of strong agreement with our incoming Chief Executive.
In an interview a couple weeks ago with MTV, Obama made excellent use of his bully pulpit on one of today's most pressing issues. Asked by a viewer what he thought of laws against "sagging pants," Obama made it clear that he thought such laws were "a waste of time, but then -- after his usual hemming and hawing -- finally exclaimed "Brothers should pull up their pants!"
For the record, I agree completely.
Fast-forward to 1:25 for the money quote.

Yes, if he could combine more of this "humour and warmth" with his other attributes, he could be even more popular.
He may need it when the going gets rough. And it will, because his policies are going to make everything worse.
He’s an Uncle Tom, like Cosby
