Kanye's Impulsivity and Obama's Steady Grace

Kanye West's lack of grace at the VMA last night was sad, but a teachable moment for all of us. The quixotic Kanye rose in defense of a damsel he believed was in distress, battling the racism he perceives within the music industry, and greatly embarrassing both graceful and talented women. In contrast, cornered by media about racism, President Barack Obama and his Press Secretary Robert Gibbs have refused to be distracted w/charges of white supremacy issues within the so-called Tea-bag movement while consistently sending an upbeat message about working with Congress in the face of it all.
