Which character in The Wire do you think Obama most identifies with?

Carcetti. A polical candidate fighting for change in a racially charged election. Hopefully without the moral lapses that Carcetti suffers from.

Joe Biden = McNulty?

I’m only on Season Two, so pleeease no spoilers.

I was thinking Daniels because he seems to be pretty smart and have very good intentions as well as ambition, but then I thought about Lester, but I don’t see Obama being that subtle. I think Andrew has it right. Carcetti it is.
Personally I like Omar. He only robs and kills bad guys.

I don’t know who Obama would be in the the Wire, but I know that he has said his favorite character is Omar.

Hopefully he’ll take some non-literal lessons from Omar on how to win a fight!

Lester/Omar mix. Lester for wisdom and canniness, Omar for courage and style. Go Barack.

I love that we all support comparing him to Omar :D

Michael;
See another way Obama and I connect. We both root for Omar! Wait til you see what happens in the last season!!! (Being careful not to reveal spoilers)

The Bunk.

There is a side to Obama we don’t see.
