Jimmy McMillan Of 'The Rent Is Too Damn High Party' Announces Presidential Bid
Jimmy McMillan, folk hero, internet sensation, and leader of New York political party "The Rent Is Too Damn High," recently announced he has his sights set on the White House.

After being catapulted to fame following a quirky yet impressive performance in the New York gubernatorial debates this fall, McMillan attained rockstar status, winning more than 40,000 votes in this year's New York governor's race. Now he says he's ready to take on President Barack Obama in the quest for higher office.

"If you don't do your job right, I am coming at you," he said, complaining about the president's bailout of General Motors. "I know Barack Obama is an Internet hog. I know he knows that I am out there. But what he hasn't heard yet is that Jimmy McMillan is running for President of the United States of America."

McMillan urged Obama to call him up on the phone and invite him to serve in the administration. That scenario aside, McMillan said he would register as a Republican to avoid a primary challenge from the president, a man that he called "a good-looking young guy" that he admired.

"I'm coming after his black ass," he said of Obama.

McMillan said his greatest strengths include a mastery of social media, an ability to pinch pennies, and inimitable political vision.

And, for those curious about his stance on global warming, McMillan says he isn't buying Al Gore's "punk" science.

"Global warming is a natural occurrence that happens every 15,000 years," McMillan explained.

1. Why is this idiot being given any kind of platform

who the hell cares what he has to say

[Gin]

2. hey.... if a witch & Palin get a platform...he should too.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. Because the Corporate Media loves a story about a black man going after

another black man, especially when it's Obama.

Epic fail!!

[Mortos]

3. I don't know if "impressive" is the right term for his debate performance

Comical, ridiculous, or farcical seem more appropriate. I am sure President Obama's "black ass" is safe from this caricature.

[rasputin1952]

20. C'mon

this guy is HILARIOUS. The gloves? The beard? I'd pay money to see him.

[Odin2005]

12. Idiocracy.

[vaberella]

13. Many on DU must be hailing this man a Progressive hero.

Basically as many have said on this board---he's a corporatist. Bailing out those car industries...shows that he cares more about Wallstreet than main street.

[and-justice-for-all]

14. Uh, the GM bailout worked brilliantly asshat...

and I highly doubt Obama has time to google that clown to see what he is doing and like he gives a shit. This McMillian clown just wants his 15min.

[Politicalboi]

17. Cool

A black man who can say stuff about Obama and not get called a racist. :sarcasm:
Does this asshole work for Faux? I know Tracey Morgan will have a field day with this clown. And already has.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

19. He is right. The rent's too damn high!
