Barack Obama Gives Jay-Z Parenting Advice

What the fuck?

In today's edition of, "Uh, what the fuck?," AOL reports that not only are Barack Obama and Jay-Z actual, not-just-appearing-in-photo-ops-for-their-mutual-benefit friends, but they actually hang out together. During a recent interview with an Ohio radio station, President Obama was asked to comment on his relationship with Jay, Beyoncé, and the little bundle of love that is Blue Ivy Carter: "I've gotten to know these guys over the last several years… We talk about the same things I talk about with all my friends. Was he helping Beyonce out and not leaving it all to mom and the mother-in-law? Being a President or a rap mogul might be a tough job, but being a parent can humble even the best."

The implications of this are astounding. Is Blue Ivy going to grow up with Sasha and Malia Obama as surrogate big-sister figures? Do Jay and Obama play golf together? What if Jay-Z is really boring to talk to in person? Do he and Obama exchange BBM's? Why does Jay-Z look the least enthusiastic in the above picture where they're all brushing dirt off their shoulders? Was Obama just lying in order to make himself look cool? This is all just too much to think about.
