President Obama Was a Huge Fan
Apparently, President Barack Obama loved The Wire just as much as we did. The 44th president has cited The Wire as one of his favorite television shows several times. President Obama even had a favorite character: Omar Little, the gay drug dealing stick-up man with a Robin Hood-esque moral code. He told the Las Vegas Sun, “That’s not an endorsement. He’s not my favorite person, but he’s a fascinating character.”
The Wire was also one of the few things President Obama and John McCain could agree on. McCain also listed The Wire as one of his favorite television shows, alongside Seinfeld.
