Barack Obama's Favourite Things: A Gay Bandit and A Brass Band

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, the brass band who have performed with Gorillaz and Mos Def among other luminaries and who killed at Electric Picnic in Ireland two years ago are Obama's favourite band!

His favourite TV show is the HBO produced The Wire. Which possibly no one in the world dislikes and if they do, they properly smell like ass. Obama's words not mine...

While Omar, the gay modern day bandit in The Wire is his favourite character.

While Obama is checking out Omar's pecks he enjoys Marlboro Reds the most, sucking the nictoine high voltage ciggies with the panache of the pope gagging on Omar's silky,sexy anti-heroism.
