Shaggy gets motivated by Barack Obama
Shaggy told reporters recently that he sees similarities between Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama and the character Rocky from the 1976 motion picture of the same name.
In the movie a small time boxer got a once in a lifetime chance to fight the heavyweight champ in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect.
Shaggy said the thing he found unique about Obama was his ability to inspire others to go the extra mile and "deliver."
Watching Obama is like viewing "Rocky" in Shaggy’s eyes, who said that he just gets motivated listening to him and will admire his spirit, whether or not he wins. Barack Obama’s speeches puts, "a fire under your ass," Shaggy said. As a pure symbol of hope he gets you charged up, he expounded.
Not at all an admirer of the current President George Bush, Shaggy classed him as one of the worse presidents ever, according to reports.
