His name means "one who is blessed" in Swahili

No, it means "one who is blessed" in Arabic, and the Arabs nicked the word from Hebrew.

No dope stories ? Losing his stash , unexpectedly finding a stash , getting burned when buying , sharing and selling , and relieving the inhibitions of those with whom you share dope . The hungry public wants to know , these great American tales must be told .

That one is actually not true.

He invented a ‘hitch’ that enables dumb donkeys to haul all his manure though.

Sounds fairly adolescent to me. The boy king. Oh wait, we mustn't use that term. Gee, we must be so very careful in picking the terms we use to discuss this...this...gee, I guess we can't discuss him at all, simply bow down and be thankful the multiCULTi jihadis don't behead us for not having voted for him.

His favourite book is Moby-Dick by Herman Melville

Hmmmmm. He loves a novel where a great white creature is stalked and killed by a maniac that looks like Abraham Lincoln.(at least in the movie) and drags its crew to its death in the meaningless pursuit.

Things that make you say "Hmmmmm"

Yes, and he hates white people just as much as Captain Ahab hated the white whale. Before he starts redistributing the wealth to his personal “chosen people,” he might want to undertake a careful reading of Moby Dick.

We must all start parroting the phrase “Obama Recession/Depression” as much as we can in our everyday language.
