Here Is What Obama Has To Say About Kanye West’s Dream Of Becoming US President In 2020

It is no longer news that popular rapper, Kanye West has intention to run for President in 2020. He made the announcement at the VMAs and the world has been left wondering just how serious he is ever since.

Now, the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama weighed in on the situation – with a little advice for Kanye.

President Obama gave Kanye some advice about running for president in 2020 during a speech at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in San Francisco on Saturday, October 10. The event featured a performance by the rapper. He stated:

Kanye is thinking about running… for Speaker of the House. It couldn’t get any stranger. But in case Kanye is serious about this whole POTUS thing –- or as he calls it, ‘peezy’ –- I do have some advice for him.
First of all, you have to spend some time dealing with some strange characters who act like they’re on a reality TV show. You gotta be cool with that. 
Second important tip: Saying you have a beautiful dark twisted fantasy — that’s what’s known as off message in politics. People have lost congressional seats that way. 
And number three: Do you really think this country’s going to elect a black guy from the South Side of Chicago with a funny name to be president of the U.S.? That’s crazy. Cray.
Obama and Kanye are both from Chicago’s south side.In response, Kanye West sent out two pairs of Yeezys to the President and shared the photos on social media.


One photo showed two boxes containing shoes from West’s line, Yeezy Boost, with the name Obama on both while in the second photo, President Obama’s signature with the number 44, is next to Kanye’s signature with the numbers 46 and 2020, signifying Obama as the 44th president and West as the 46th president, if he were to be elected.

Shridhar Chillal, 78 from India, has been growing the nails on his left hand since he was at school. He has continued with the impressive feat despite admitting his super-long talons have made it difficult for him to find work and love.Shridhar has now been officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the person with the 'Longest Fingernails on a Single Hand Ever' and features in their 2016 edition.

The nails has a combined length at a staggering 909.6cm. One of his thumbnails alone is two metres long.
The 78-year-old is so proud of his wares that he has offered to dedicate them to a museum, but he says they were nothing but trouble in his younger years."When I was to get married, no one was ready to marry me, I saw nearly 10 to 12 girls," he said.
"If the girl agreed to marry, her parents would say I would strangle their daughter's neck and refuse.
"If the parents agreed, the girl would say she would not marry such a dirty person."
Shridhar's obsession started when he was at school in India after a teacher beat him and his friends for breaking one of his nails.Told that he would never understand the kind of care required not to break them Sridhar determined to find out.

"Our family members opposed, then teachers were opposed but I decided from that point on that I would never cut my nails again," he said.Thankfully Shridhar's persistence paid off, and he has now achieved what he calls "the biggest goal in my life".
"I can tell everyone now with pride about my record," he said.
"When I am on my travels, people will recognise me as a Guinness World Records title holder."

At least 30 killed after airstrikes hit wedding in Yemen, officials say

Airstrikes hit a wedding celebration in Yemen, killing at least 30 people and leaving dozens more unaccounted for, local officials said.

The bombing Wednesday struck the wedding as it took place in Sanabani, a southwestern Yemeni town in an area controlled by Houthi rebels, according to three local security officials.
Local hospitals have been overwhelmed with victims, the officials said.

The Houthis are locked in a bitter conflict with forces loyal to the government of Yemen's deposed President. The pro-government fighters have the support of a Saudi-led coalition that has been bombing Houthi-held areas since March.

It wasn't initially clear who had carried out the strikes on Sanabani.

Coalition forces said they have no ongoing operations in the southwestern province in Yemen where the incident occurred.

"Not every explosion that takes place in Yemen is as airstrike - it could be a missile, car bomb, or weapons cache," coalition spokesman Ahmed Asseri said.

Civilians have suffered heavily amid the violence and disruption caused by the war in the impoverished nation -- and weddings have been struck previously.

Airstrikes hit a marriage ceremony last week in the southwestern province of Taiz, killing at least 131 people and wounding scores of others, the Houthi-controlled news agency Saba reported.

The news agency and Yemeni security officials accused the Saudi-led coalition of carrying out the bombing. The coalition denied the allegation, saying it didn't have any operations in that area.

Months of fighting in Yemen have left at least 4,000 civilians dead, according to the Houthi-controlled Health Ministry.
