More From Henry Rollins

Stick on this that donald trump as the outsider doesn't know what's going on. that the inside-the-beltway culture is special and it's so unique and it's so tiny that nobody that's not part of it could ever, ever function. nobody who's not in the establishment could possibly understand it. so they have an arrogance that leads to a condescension against people, which leads the inside-the-beltway, the establishment, both parties, to think of trump as no different than his voters, a bumpkin idiot.
Party Unique Thinking
A lot of people who voted for barack obama expected and were led to expect something new in politics: a new tone of political discourse in washington. and i think - i think they're disappointed, because barack obama is not a new kind of politician. in fact, he's an old chicago politician.
Thinking People Political
One of the things that you come pretty early on to understand in this job, and you start figuring out even during the course of the campaign, is that there's barack obama the person and there's barack obama the symbol, or the office holder, or what people are seeing on television, or just a representative of power. and so when people criticize or respond negatively to me, usually they're responding to this character that they're seeing on tv called barack obama, or to the office of the presidency and the white house and what that represents.
Jobs Character White
Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. this scarcity makes leadership valuable...it's uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers. it's uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail. it's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo. it's uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle...if you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader.

Even in this case, whatever it is, it's about [barack] obama. "how did obama do at the memorial? did obama come off well? will obama's poll numbers go up? did he really reach people?" the hell that there are 53 people dead. nobody cares about them, like nobody cared about the four dead in benghazi. all the media cared about, how did obama do?
Media Numbers People
They're making a movie about barack and michelle obama's first date, called 'southside with you,' and the producers say they've already cast someone to play young barack obama. now, i'm not saying the president has aged a lot but that young actor is morgan freeman.
