Obama Plays Ball While Celebs Duck for Cover

Why is Donald Trump so angry? Because former President Barack Obama is cool and he’s not – at least according to journalist Jemele Hill. Jemele joins Symone and Eugene to chat about Obama’s reception at the NBA All-Star Game, why Stephen A. Smith is proof that the age of the celebrity president isn’t going anywhere, and why the Olympics are turning out to be an embarrassing moment for America. And they pay their respects to Civil Rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson, whose call-and-response adaptation of the poem “I Am Somebody” can serve as a reminder for all of us.

Heads up! The State of the Union is February 24th. Join Symone and Eugene for a YouTube livestream, starting at 8:30pm. Visit youtube.com/@msnow to check that out.
