The "Celebrity"

I think Obama should finesse his way around this "celebrity" accusation.

To be a celebrity is to be celebrated, according to Merriam-Webster. We all know what it means to celebrate - to be happy about something or someone, often a milestone or accomplishment. That is what Obama has attained, and rightly to be celebrated - the first African-American to be nominated for the Presidency by one of the two major parties. What's not to celebrate? And look who is celebrating - millions upon millions of ordinary people, from all walks of life, of all ages, of all ethnic backgrounds. The "fat cats" aren't celebrating, the oil execs aren't celebrating, etc. etc. So let's think about the true meaning of being a celebrity and celebrate with Barack!

He should embrace the term, and pivot, as they say, to it's inner truth!
