Like so many rappers these days, Ludacris has put out a pro-Obama freestyle. Besides proudly mentioning that Obama has a few of his songs on his iPod, he also said, "Hillary hated on you, so that bitch is irrelevant." Of course, Barack Obama is being called upon to reject and denounce, this time by Clinton's former national finance co-chair, Yashar Hedayat.
"I hope Senator Obama has the presence of mind to denounce and distance himself from Ludacris," Hedayat wrote in an email to the Huffington Post. "In May, when Father Pfleger made those horrible remarks about Senator Clinton at Trinity United, Senator Obama didn't do much to defend her and John McCain was the first to rush to her defense."
Of course, the Obama campaign was then obligated to put out a statement. And the cycle continues…
"As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn't want his daughters or any children exposed to. This song is not only outrageously offensive to Senator Clinton, Reverend Jackson, Senator McCain, and President Bush, it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with the values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics."

Re: Luda… not exactly helpful, son.
Re: BO… will this man always have to speak out against some even slightly anti-whiteperson thing said by some random Black person to show he's not responsible? Kinda like how I was supposed to go to work and explain how the DC Snipers aren't my cousins. SMH
If they didn't appear together in this photo, he probably wouldn't have to which is why his campaign should be careful who gets photo ops with him because being associated with someone whose hits include "Move B*tch" and "I Got H*s in Different Area Codes" isn't exactly working in his favor.
Luda, just had to go and open his big mouth. It's not like Obama doesn't have enough problems already defending himself from the people he is associating with. Obama can't even concentrate on campaigning because he has to keep denouncing stupid comments by people who are supposed to be supporting him. C'mon Black People!
To Daria: well, I think it's on the Black people opening their pieholes nonstop, not BO, because at this point, the man has taken pictures with literally half the world. Dude can't be covering for all those pieholes.
I wonder how conscious some High Profile people are whenever the are versing their political opinion. Think before you speak is appropriate here.
Nice move Ludacris… nice. He should've saved the song for after Obama moved into the white house. This isn't the type of sh** Obama needs at the moment.
Luda: You're NOT helping!
