Barack O'Brien

Nobody likes to admit out loud "part of my success is due to economic and social conditions cemented long before I was even born"; we must be made to believe that Successful Person X was left to die in a dumpster, then pulled himself up by his own bootstraps and became a real rags to riches story. -  XMASTIME 2011

Great episode of Conan O'Brien's podcast this morning with Barack "BARRY!" Obama, there to talk about his book:

1) He's funny af

2) Conan seems mesmerized by how good of a writer Obama is throughout the book

3) Obama points out that no matter how smart or hard-working each of them are, both of them got to where they did as much due to luck - a series of breaks along the way that led them to their destiny - as anything else: Xmastime - VINDICATED ONCE AGAIN!!!

Enjoy, people:
