OBAMA WEARS A DU-RAG
OBSERVATION BY KHALID STRICKLAND a.k.a. BLACK PACINO
When it comes to Barack Hussein Obama, 44th President of the United States, there is much to discuss. Health care plans, stimulating the economy and bringing American troops home are just a few delicate and important issues. Well, I hate to pile-on but I’ve got an Obama topic that merits a post. Take a moment to carefully examine the picture above. What is the little boy doing to the President?
In case you’re dumbfounded, here’s the answer: The curious child is running his hand across Barack’s waves. They may not be as prominent as the ones on P-Diddy or Fabolous but upon close inspection, Barack does have a few waves in is hair. And that can only mean one thing.
Obama wears a du-rag.
Maybe he doesn’t rock it in The Oval Office or during the State of the Union address but at some point in the day, out of the public eye, The Prez wears a du-rag. How else does one’s hair get waves? Maybe he uses a pair of Michelle’s old pantyhose as a stocking cap, but with his Chi-Town swagger Barry-O strikes me as a du-rag type o’ guy. The leader of the Free World deserves better than a $2 du-rag from the bodega, though. Like any baller with power and money, The Commander-In-Chief must have some flashy, custom-made shit. I bet it looks like this…
Now that’s Presidential. Shit, I’d rock that my damn self. While shooting hoops with the homies during his private time, this has to be what’s covering Barry O’s dome. Try as I might, I couldn’t dig up any online photos of Obama rockin’ a du-rag, which is understandable. The folks in the Red States would spazz out if pics like that were floating around. So to demonstrate just how fly this patriotic headwrap looks, I now present the nameless, world-famous model from the “Du-Rag” advertisements and packaging…
Official, son!! Barack’s got his own Hennessy, why wouldn’t he have his own du-rag? The African bootleggers are probably replicating this design right now; expect Presidential du-rags to line the sidewalks of Harlem’s 125th Street tomorrow.
Just make sure I get my cut of the profits, you shiesty muthafuckas.

LMAO its funyn cuz I was just telling Geneva that i want wanter du-rag or hair grease Barack is using. I knew it had to be something lol
August 28, 2009 at 1:46 pm
well now you know. and once the african bootleggers spread ‘em like wildfire, you too can look presidential.
August 28, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Son, if he had a patented Du-Rag he could make a style with it, could you imagine!?. and Republican white people would scream bloody murder, cause remember, according to those fools, he aint even American.
August 28, 2009 at 2:02 pm
yup.
look at the republican mobs at town hall meetings about his health plan, wiggin’ out & disruptin shit. lucky they ain’t black. the riot-squad woulda been there crackin’ skulls & releasin the hounds.
so imagine the pandemonium if obama walked up to the podium, rockin a du-rag on national TV. he’d ratchet up his streed cred but he’d be impeached.
August 28, 2009 at 8:24 pm
The question is, “Is it silk-screened or embroidered with the same thread that old chick sewed the flag with?” Whatever, I need half of that pie.
August 28, 2009 at 8:47 pm
LOL! yeah, obama’s rag is prolly made with the same material betsy ross used. the african bootlegs, however, will be made with much cheaper shit i’m sure.
indeed, this design came from one of our discussions & you’re the architect of this historic product, fam. therefore you’re entitled to a chunk of the pie. get your baseball bat… we’ll take a trip down 125th & search for bootleggers, the way M.O.P. hunts ‘em down on saratoga ave.
whoever’s slingin’ presidential du-rags gotta break bread or end up with broken bones.
August 28, 2009 at 11:32 pm
That is too funny!
August 29, 2009 at 2:52 pm
funny? we’re having a serious political discussion here.
August 29, 2009 at 3:04 am
YO…I’m luvin the pic of the kid touching his hair. The best part is that him actually allowing that shows humility!! U gotta love “Barry-O” as u have affectionately called him! HOWEVER..while its a cleaver thought, and official enough for my Prez to roc…I’m not feelin that du-rag..its big and gaudy!! And that’s so not his style..I think he may have jus a reg black one thàt he tucks under that tight ass Presidential baseball cap he wears to appease the “red state folks” LOL!! ((Is this my first post or did I do one a loooong time ago??!!))
August 29, 2009 at 3:03 pm
i think this is your 1st post, MzSCT. if so, congrats.
with this comment, you’ve been officially “jumped-in” to the spizzy gang… minus the cuts & bruises.
you may be right, maybe O keeps it simple. but a guy with THIS kinda swag looks like he’d rock that presidential du-rag…

i mean, look at ‘im. with the stoagie danglin’ from his lips, all cool & shit. i can picture him rockin that rag in this very pic.
or maybe he just wraps an amercian flag around his head, like this…

thanks for your input, ma’am. come back again now, ya’hear?
August 29, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Dude, I’d get my son that doorag, but I wouldn’t wear it. lol
August 29, 2009 at 5:37 pm
that’s whassup.
your son would grow up knowing that one day, he too can president.
i think this du-rag is very uplifting for our youth.
August 30, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Back in my day they use to have a special hair-grease called ‘murray’s pomade’ for men i think… you needed that too for proper waves .. they still make that? the President could get a discount! i too admire his ’swagger’.. genius i tell you…
August 31, 2009 at 11:32 am
it’s funny you mention murray’s hair pomade, ma.
not only do they still make it, but murray’s also has (get ready for this)
SPECIAL EDITON OBAMA POMADE.
i bullshit you not. it’s right here…

they even got michelle on the can. that’s whazzup.
September 14, 2009 at 10:42 am
You had me fall off of my chair and almost spill my soup all over my keyboard and pants!
I’ve seen the photo of Barack and the little fellow, but the Murray’s can took the cake. I wonder if the neighbors heard me.
The waves do look manicured, like he ties them down at night.
Does he really use Murray’s? I remember Nu-Nile, Murrays, Sportin’ Waves, Vaseline and water… A friend of mine put me on to Vitalis. It’s for the older gentlemen. I stay away from it now, though. It’s too flammable!
August 30, 2009 at 3:41 pm
interesyting can you get me 1 in red and one in black *rolls eyes and neck rolls* you know i gotta keep my doobies tight
August 31, 2009 at 11:42 am
your ‘do would definitely be right in this stylish rag, my dear ruby. you’d make it look even better.
but they only come in black, just like the label on his special edition hen-rock. it only makes sense, i guess. after all, the prez is black.
i wasn’t sure at 1st but jeezy confirmed it with his song, “my president is black.” thanks for keepin me posted, snowman. see, rap is still informative.
September 1, 2009 at 2:42 am
I couldn’t rock that son. That patch in the front would make a nigga uncomfortable. But knowing them niggas on 125th (or down on Fulton for that matter) they’ll have that shit silkscreened on some exclusive shit. Till you sweat in it.
On a more serious note: When are we working on that album, son? What’s our budget like? LOL We goin triple copper.
Hell Nah Records proudly presents (project unnamed)! Coming out in the 4th quarter bitches! Niggas better push they shit back to february!!!
September 1, 2009 at 11:42 pm
Ha ha ha!!:-D
Triple copper. We aimin for Slaughterhouse numbers, huh? That’s a lofty goal.
The budget? I’ll let you know once I go to the bank & cash-in my jar of loose change. Minus the inevitable Canadian quarters, I think I got about $14 in there.
LOL @ Hell Nah Records. I can think of a dozen active labels that oughtta have that name.
September 1, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Wicked!-nuff gunshots for your imagination!I learned alot in this presidential debate! Keep it up.
September 2, 2009 at 1:51 am
Glad you got sumthin from this discussion, Falayan. And thanks for the luv. Roll thru anytime.
God bless America… And no place else.
September 1, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Son why he gotta need a doo rag! Why can’t his joints just be natural! I’m not cosigning on the doo rag thing! What if he just brushes his hair the hundred times a night and brushes in the shower with the soap in it like how I use to do! I never liked that line that use to form when you wore it all night! You know me Chf always gotta be different!!! Broooooookkkkkklllllllyynnnnn!!!
Chf1
Holla!!!
September 1, 2009 at 11:27 pm
LMAO!!
The imprint left in one’s forehead from a tight wrap… An unfortunate side effect of the du rag. I think I saw one on Obama’s forehead at his inauguration. It was early morning, after all.
You brushed your hair 100 times a night? I applaud your discipline, Chf. I’m sure your waves were fresh. But Obama ain’t got time to do that, yo. He gotta run the country & shit.
September 3, 2009 at 5:40 am
“The du-rags are back, fitted hats, snorkels and furs
Riker’s Island busses still packed, what’s the word?”
Hahaha… tight…
Nowadays I myself don’t sport a du-rag, but keep it conscious and righteous with a kufi
but the du-rag will neva go away.
September 9, 2009 at 3:55 am
gotta respect the kufi, bruh. that’s whazzup.
what if obama rocked a presidential kufi? whoooooooo boy!
could you imagine the headlines?
September 9, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Word Black………..that would be so ill, on the real.
September 12, 2009 at 3:07 am
the lynch mob would be out. nutjobs would be hangin around the places obama spoke at, carrying assault rifles. angry republican haters would call him a liar during his speeches it would be… uh… hmmm…..
…it would be just like NOW.
September 15, 2009 at 8:02 pm
@Scott
LOL glad you got a laugh outta that. it’s funny cuz that’s a real product.
vatalis? that musta been the stuff michael jackson used for that pepsi commercial.
sorry, mike… i luv you, man. you’re the greatest entertainer of all-time.
but i couldn’t resist that one.
R.I.P. MJ.
January 23, 2010 at 12:16 am
