Hank Aaron was one of the best baseball players we’ve ever seen and one of the strongest people I’ve ever met. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Aaron family and everyone who was inspired by this unassuming man and his towering example. pic.twitter.com/2RZdc82Y18

A must listen to interview. Marc was great. He asked very relevant questions and covered an interesting breadth of topics. President Obama was fantastic. He doesn’t have to run his answers through pollsters, a communication team, a PR firm, etc., He is always refreshingly honest because he speaks from the heart. A hallmark of a true leader

"Outraged" over POTUS use of n word? Try listening to the whole podcast. But, beware, you may learn something. bit.ly/1H72i6R

Hey white people - Obama did not create race tensions by using the N-word. Your ancestors already accomplished that centuries ago.

Also, are people honest to Jesus saying that Obama is the first president to say the N-word like 12 of them didn't own slaves?

I appreciate Obama. I’m pretty sure he’s about to drop some serious truth bombs on people and white folks are going to lose it.
