Wacka Flocka for President

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Ottawa chapter.

On April 20th Wacka Flocka Flame took measures to fulfill the promise he made years prior when he stated “I am dead ass running for president in 2016”. Up until his announcement the U. S presidential race was starting all over again with the list of candidates that included Hillary Clinton (and her technological woes), as well as Rand Paul (and his struggle with opposing Obama care… but still enrolling his family in it). This year, like 8 years prior, there is potential to change the course of history if Hilary Clinton were to become the first female president of the United States. However, things just became a lot more exciting because (drumroll please) Wacka flocka just announced his bid for presidency.

His bid was announced on 4/20, seemingly a perfect fit since his one policy announcement has been for the legalization of marijuana. So far he has yet to mention anything about foreign policy, but he has addressed other issues such as improving the education for American children and increasing the minimum wage in restaurants to $15. While he neglects aspects such as foreign policy and social welfare programs he does make mention that as president he will be banning dogs from restaurants. In addition, he also cares about the children and their education; his new intensive program will include lessons on his lyrics like the following one from his song Snakes in the grass

“Forty nights forty days no Noah’s Arc/If we was living in water I be a shark/I’m in the front you in the back like Rosa parks/ got heart like Rosa parks aye where the fuck to start/ don’t gotta gun than I’m a use a dart/ I fell in love with yellow diamonds since Gucci bark”

Evidently his lyrics not only contain Biblical history, African American history, but also gemology, which I reckon will be great for the kids. He also aims to ban people with big feet from walking on sidewalks (which makes me feel personally victimized by Wacka Flocka Flame), although he does make mention that it is to apply to people with size 13 feet and over (sorry guys).

Mr. Flame, whose real name is Juaquin James Malphurs, not only has amazing hair, he is a family man as evidenced by the cute pictures of him and his stepdaughter. He is also very intelligent judging from the fact that he has a higher ACT score than President Barack Obama, Steve Jobs, Marilyn Monroe and William Faulkner, so there is no doubt of his potential. Unfortunately he will not be able to run as he is only 28 years old and according to the U.S constitution an individual needs to be at least 35 years of age to run for presidency.

Maybe when he is finally eligible he will run in the 2024 presidential race.
