Some opinions are stupid.
Do you think that his statement that 'The President is our boss' connects with reality? The President may be the boss if you work for the Federal Government... but Chris Rock isn't on the federal payroll.....
Or is he???
In allegory a message is communicated by means of symbolic figures, actions or symbolic representation. Allegory is generally treated as a figure of rhetoric; a rhetorical allegory is a demonstrative form of representation conveying meaning other than the words that are spoken.
He is all of a sudden a bad comedian because of his comment???
Obama is the POTUS. That is the highest official position of power any one man can hold in America. If our believing in that is pathetic, then you are obviously not American.
Have you ever heard of Allegory?
"Dogfighting's very prevalent in the South," Rock said. Rock also pointed out that we hunt, and many people consider that wrong.
"Why is a dog so much better than a deer?" Rock asked. "I see no difference between a dog and a deer."

Yes, I have.
Do you think that is what he was spinning for us?
If you think that we need this sort of fairytale spun for us, likening the POTUS and First Lady to our parents, you need a dictator in your world.

In a world where people respected each other until there was a reason to not give respect. A much better world than today. And disagreeing with someone was NOT a reason to lose respect.

He did no such thing. He said he supported Obama. Said he was like "Dad and you gotta listen to Dad."
Actually, he could have just stated that he didn't think that any of us needed to own guns and that we should all be disarmed, in his opinion.

Thanks. I've already got one. So basically you did care for the message then? Would it have been better if he eluded to Obama as the Anti-Christ then?
