RZA on Hillary Clinton Succeeding Barack Obama: 'That’s a One-Two Punch'

[ProudToBeLiberal]

“I think somebody like Hillary Clinton as our next president—I like that. When you think about the history and trajectory of our country, from the beginning of the founding. You know, we've seen a black man as a president, that means a lot in this country. And then, a woman as a president: to me that’s a one-two punch.”

“We’re really living out freedom, justice, and equality, the pursuit of happiness, liberty,” he went on, speaking with Bloomberg’s John Heilemann. “Those things are really becoming real. And we’re not discriminating from who’s qualified to be the best person for the job.”

RZA supported Obama’s election in 2008. Asked how he felt after seven years of his presidency, RZA replied, “I still think it’s a great thing for our country.”

“Before he was president,” RZA said, “I travelled the world, and it wasn’t even kinda cool to be an American. People was very snobby against us, because of the way that Mr. Bush was running our country.”

But now? “I’ve travelled the world after Barack Obama—it’s cool to be American again, baby,” he said with a laugh. “People don’t know how much that means to citizens like us, who are in a celebrity position, who represents the country through our culture and through our art.”

Yet we hear from posters on this very board that President Obama has brought us down in how people view the US.

They're so hysterical.. like anyone with any knowledge at all would believe their obvious agenda.

There is still more work to be accomplished.
