Very Minor

But speaks to why I feel as though Barack Obama will be an infinitely better version of myself in the White House.

His favorite TV show is The Wire and Omar Little is his favorite character.

Michael Kostroff, an actor who was in town to volunteer for Obama and had a chance to meet him, told the Sun that Obama’s favorite TV show is his own: HBO’s “The Wire,” which chronicles Baltimore’s violent drug culture and the police who quixotically try to stop it.

Obama told the Sun his favorite character is Omar, a stick-up artist who steals from drug dealers and then gives the loot to poor people in the neighborhood.

“That’s not an endorsement. He’s not my favorite person, but he’s a fascinating character.”

To contrast, Hillary told TV Guide that she likes Antiques Roadshow, American Idol, and "HGTV makeover shows." Very safe. Very unoffensive. The UK version of the Antiques Roadshow is better than the US one.

In David Simon's own words:

"One thing that distinguishes Omar is his absolute patience. He's willing to endure even longer surveillance than the police do. He's absolutely determined."

The game is the game.

Always.
