Winnah, Winnah, Chicken Dinnah (according to a Jan 14th article in the Las Vegas Sun)

Posted by crash davis (aka crash davis) Oct 28 '08, 13:46

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.�

Its a show I've really gotten into (www.lasvegassun.com)
