President Obama doesn’t care for the influence that narcissistic celebrities have on today’s youth. In a recent interview with Amazon.com, Obama said negative influences such as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West didn’t distract him from his pursuit of the American dream when he was a kid. Obama blamed today’s confluence of narcissistic, self-obssessed traits on the influence of Kim and Kanye and reality TV shows.
“The American Dream involved some pretty basic stuff. A good job where you felt some security. A good education… People felt if they worked hard they could get there… I don’t think people went around saying to themselves, ‘I need to have a 10,000-square-foot house’… I think, there has also been a shift in culture. We weren’t exposed to the things we didn’t have in the same way that kids these days are. There was not that window into the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Kids weren’t monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing, or where Kanye West was going on vacation, and thinking that somehow that was the mark of success.”
I agree with every word he said. President Obama is a very smart man.
