Tay Zonday for Vice President

So the other day I'm minding my own business, checking my e-mail, when the one like Enigmatik hits me up with this link, which features an interview with Tay Zonday, who seems to have gone buck wild on YouTube with his music. I mean, I know I might be late on this, but WHAT!?!?

I look at him like - is dude serious? He's my age, but somehow his wires got crossed. To me, he looks like a mixture between old Michael Jackson and new Michael Jackson. His voice is deep, and while it might not be faked, there's no denying how odd his tone is. And then I bring you "Chocolate Rain":

WOW! Check a sample of the lyrics:

Chocolate Rain
Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Chocolate Rain
A baby born will die before the sin

Chocolate Rain
The school books say it can't be here again
Chocolate Rain
The prisons make you wonder where it went

Chocolate Rain
Build a tent and say the world is dry
Chocolate Rain
Zoom the camera out and see the lie

Chocolate Rain
Forecast to be falling yesterday
Chocolate Rain
Only in the past is what they say

Chocolate Rain
Raised your neighborhood insurance rates
Chocolate Rain
Makes us happy 'livin in a gate

Chocolate Rain
Made me cross the street the other day
Chocolate Rain
Made you turn your head the other way

(Chorus)
Chocolate Rain
History quickly crashing through your veins
Chocolate Rain
Using you to fall back down again
[Repeat]

Some heavy shit from dude... I think? I'm kind of confused... In any case, I guess you can't knock his hustle - he has a TON of shit up there, and is getting his press. And this is what Barack Obama needs.

Obama is already getting his feet wet with the 'Net, as most politicians do, but he needs something, a zing - maybe some CHOCOLATE RAIN!?!!? Plus, Zonday already seems to know about the state of the world, and is knowledgeable enough to write captivating music about what's going on in the community. He is the perfect yang to Obama's ying.

Thing is, we'd have to make sure Obama NEVER got murked - do you honestly think Tay would make a great President? Wait, scratch that, he'd run circles around Dubya...
