BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP/Getty Images President Barack Obama at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco gave Kanye West a few presidential advice, telling the rapper he’d have to “deal with unusual characters who behave as if they are on a reality TV show”. “In case Kanye is serious about this whole POTUS thing, or, as Kanye calls it, ‘Peezy, ‘ I do have advice for him”.

Ahead of the rapper’s performance for the president at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in San Francisco, Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian took to her Instagram account to post a picture of two pairs of her hubby’s shoes from his adidas collection.
The president also joked that West is thinking about running for the open House speaker position.
“A little bit later you’re going to hear from a guy who I hear has been talking about launching a potential political career”, Obama said to the crowd of about 1,300 supporters who paid between $250 and $10,000 a person to attend.
“Second important tip: Saying you have a handsome dark twisted fantasy – that’s what’s known as off message in politics”, Obama counseled.
President Obama was dispensing Oval Office advice Saturday to a candidate with White House aspirations.
“The latest swing through the Golden State proves once again that President Obama only cares about causing traffic jams for fundraising for the failed Democrat agenda”, Republican National Committee spokesman Ninio Fetalvo said.
Both Obama and West hail from Chicago’s south side. “Why are they so grumpy?”
