2) Jay-Z was a successful entrepreneur. President Bush was a failed entrepreneur.

From drugs, to music, to clothes, to nightclubs, liquors, professional sports teams, record labels, cars and more, Mr. Carter was able to create an empire out of nothing, lacking even a basic education.

Mr. Bush, on the other hand, was only successful in bankrupting a few businesses and appropriating $500,000 loans without putting down a penny of his own money, thanks entirely to his last name.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather have the guy who actually worked for his millions, thank you very much.

Advantage: Jigga


3) Jay-Z understands that collaboration is essential for growth and progress.

Jay-Z is famous for collaborating with the best musicians in the industry, regardless of their prior recording history or affiliation. He's successfully incorporated artists into his own albums from every hip-hop quadrant of the United States, including Dr. Dre, Bun B, Freeway, Kanye West, Mos Def and Pharrell. Jay also recently made amends with long-time rival NaS, even collaborating with the Queen's Bridge rapper on NaS's album, Hip Hop is Dead.

But as we are well aware, President Bush does not believe in collaboration. Instead, President Bush recklessly endangers the lives of every American citizen by continuing the War on Iraq with no clearly defined exit strategy or consideration for compromise.

4) Jay-Z has the ability to realize when he's made a mistake, while Bush has never apologized for anything he's done in office.

With all of the failures surrounding the Bush Administration, from the gory public demise of John Ashcroft's political career, to the missing WMDs, and most recently, to the fiscally schizophrenic federal budget policy, it's surprising to many that President Bush has not offered an apology to the American people.

Jay-Z stands at odds with Mr. Bush's zen-like ability to deny responsibility for any and everything that could be considered a political foul up. In fact, Jay-Z often raps about his failures, and the lessons that those failures allowed him to learn. For example, after pledging one million dollars to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, Mr. Carter realized that the money he donated was going to the Red Cross and not directly to the victims of the disaster. This sparked Jay's public apology in the song "Minority Report."

A leader who's not strong enough to admit when he made a mistake is not worthy enough to be at the helm of the most powerful organization on the planet. 

Advantage: S. Carter


5) Jay-Z was smart enough to sell the coke, not abuse it.

If you had to choose between a drug dealer and a drug abuser for the next President of the United States, wouldn't you choose the dealer?

Advantage: H to the Izzo
