Anyone who has read any of my many Wire posts knows that I love Omar Little (the character Michael Kenneth Williams played on the show). It seems I am not alone - apparently a few months ago Barack Obama announced that he loves Omar too! This may not seen like such a big deal, except that Omar is a violent street criminal (keep in mind that it’s all in the game) and openly homosexual. I found a YouTube video of an ABC report about Obama’s liking of Omar that features an interview with Michael Kenneth Williams where he talks his character and the significance and importance of Omar (FYI - it’s a little out of sync) - it will make you love Omar even more!
How could you not love Michael K. Williams! In honor of Omar,
