Ludacris song unpopular with Obama

I'll guarantee this one is going on Karl Rovers' ipod, er, tape deck.

Hey, Ludacris is just a hometown fellow just trying to help out his man.

"The video is sure to ruffle a few feathers, especially among those who are already trying to paint Obama as little more than a celebrity trying to ride his hype to the White House."

Hmmmm, let's see if Grandpa McBush passes the "Commander in Chief" test:

Nope!

oh this is just sad!

how pathetic is this??

What a big loser this guy is.. I feel sorry for Obama.. he doesn't want this kind of attention I'm sure.

I'm glad Obama called him out. I am getting tired of the hate and venom from Obama supporters. The man says he stands for change, for ending the hateful rhetoric of the past 16 years. Apparently not everyone who thinks they support him got the memo.

That is they way i really think BHO thinks -- he caught the real essence of the man..

The world needs to CHILL

Maybe this little ditty will replace "Hail to the Chief"? Good grief.

I'm sure the Obama campaign will be featuring this wonderful expression of support in their next ad very soon...

Had the "artist" been required to take any United States history he might have learned that although GWB is considered the 43d president he is the 42nd person to hold the office as Cleveland's non-consecutive terms classify him as both the 22nd and 24th president. Of course these days one can go through four years of college without even sniffing any of that "irrevelant" stuff.

I think his name is appropriate,LU--D-A-C-R-I-S, because that's what he sounds like rapping hate like that.

Wow, and he really thinks he's doing Obama a favor....What an ego!!

Enjoy, you liberal jokes.

Let's see what kind of song Ludacris is singing when his taxes go up by $46,000 to $396,000 on every $1,000,000 earned after 2010.

We've heard from the moronic preachers, now we've got the ignorant rappers doing their best to sabotage the senator's campaign. What a lame rap, too.

A few points folks.

First and most importantly, just because someone supports YOU, doesn't mean that you support THEM. This is true of every candidate. Both men have some real idiots singing their praises.

Second, to all the posters who want to believe that only Obama supporter are full of hate, you can either skim through comments posted by the right on any of the Swamp items, or just peruse email I get from conservatives who are actually my friends!

There's enough hate to go around for everyone.

Dumb. These guys (Wright, Phleger, etc.) must not really understand politics or just don't care. Dumb. dumb, dumb; but he'll sell records because of the publicity.

Who's the sellout Luda? You!

...More evidence that Obama shouldn't worry about whether Americans can speak OTHER languages...He should be MUCH MORE CONCERNED that anything even close to proper ENGLISH isn't being learned!

Among other recent glimpses into the potential future...hopefully this will wake up a few more Kool-aid drinkers. Anyone who cares about preserving a shred of this country's hard-work ethic, decency, and literacy--had better for the only qualified candidate remaining: JOHN McCAIN.

I think Luda is expressing his freedom of speech....the song could have been much worst

It's a good thing this is the front (home) page headline, otherwise people might remember that the economy sucks and there's a senseless war on.

Sweet Caroline it's not. With friends like this ...

It's lyrics like this that make me hesitate to use the word "artist" when referring to rappers. There's no artistry in demeaning and insulting people.

Dumb. Plain ansd simple. Those who think they're "supporting" Obama are really bringing him down. Wright, Phleger, and now Luda. Either they don't understand politics or they don't care. Dumb.

None of his songs make any sense anyway. Anything to keep his name out there, an sell songs to the people with poor taste. Shows that if you are in politics, it's better not to say that you like any artist.

Can't wait for the next Obama "friend" to come out of the woodwork. This is the problem when a party picks a candidate who has not been fully vetted through years of challenging campaigns and has had an extensive record of experience in a variety of settings. Obama remains the blank check that has yet to be signed.

Oh my gosh, I hope that goes out everywhere....it 's just SURE TO HELP OBAMA ha ha ha ha ha.

My favorite part was Bush, ha ha, that was a hoot ha ha.

One person who is a entertainer has his opinion. Who does he speak for, but himself. I hope the paper is not saying he speaks for 50 million Black Americans; or, for anyother group of Americans. Let's face it. Obama sells and everyone is taking advantage of "history" in the making.

The meter on these lyrics is pretty bad: you'd have to cram syllables in one verse and stretch them on another!

Seriously, this is almost as bad as those "Up with the USA" country songs: and I'd be really ashamed if I'd written one of those, too.

Not "Friend", he's a supporter. He's doing what he feels is his part to support his candidate. Maybe not in the way that's desired, but he's just doing what he does: raps. In the manner he usually does it in. I don't blame Obama for denouncing it, God knows there's more than enough people "trying to help" that's doing more harm than good. But this is to be expected. I can't be mad at him for what he did. He felt as though he's given BO his props (and making some money in the process). I'm sure people who listen to Luda and support Obama will be bangin' this all summer long ...

Freddy C.

It's gonna be like MTV on Faux News the next week or two...

Hannity Has the Hits!

Is this what we are to expect more of if Obama gets into the White House?

We are not real for this kind of president or his friends. More to come. You really lost out on Hillary and now we get Mc Cain ...GREAT you silly ultra liberals!
BO and company are just not ready!

Boy! Bill O'Riley is gonna have a BALL with this one....

Obviously this guy is a moron, made rich by other morons (mostly sad, lily white suburbanites I might add). However, his name refers properly to what he is:
ludicrous
- absurdly ridiculous: utterly ridiculous because of being absurd, incongruous, impractical, or unsuitable

That's the name the goofball chose for himself and it's completely and accurately descriptive.

This type of idoicy leads to polarization. Shouldn't you stump for your candidate based on his qualification. How will painting the White House black help this country?

Is rap still 'round?
and who is that clown
with a rock in his ear
and whose lyrics I fear
will bring down my man; the Obamaman.

Why it's the Lude' with the 'tude!
who can't help but be rude
'cause that's what is sellin'
to white teens who are wishin'
they could be just like Ludacris.

But the Lude’s gone too far
which isn’t raising the bar
‘cause how far can you go
when you clearly don’t know
what you’re talkin’ about.

Still people listen to rap
even through most of it’s crap
being today’s flavor of pap
for the masses to lap
just please don’t rap about the Obamaman!

Tomorrow's headline:
Obama: "This is not the same Ludacris I have known for twenty years."

I laugh so hard i almost passed out and fell out computer chair

Posted by: Mic | July 30, 2008 4:50 PM ****Oh my gosh, I about fell on the floor when I read your post.......these poor lambs don't even know they are goin to slaughter ha ha.

Interesting who Obama attracks

"I can no more denounce Ludacris than I can my own white grandmother!" Good one, Kevin.

Oh crap.

As a "RAP" song goes this is "MILD".

But the video is another story. I guess Ludacris is trying to "SINK" Obama.

VJ Machiavelli
http://www.vjmachiavelli.blogspot.comps with friends like Ludcris who needs "Karl Rove"

Ludacris ... Wright ... Farakan ... Pfleiger ... Ayers ...
Obama's closest associates,
spanning 20 years,
are all angry men,
and they're not into the kind of change
that most Americans can believe in.

Ludacris: with Ayers, Dohrn, Pfleger, Wright and Rezco, likely guests in the Lincoln Bedroom. By the way, Obama himself has not commented on the this overtly racist nonsense, A third level flunky did. Not good enough.

Better get used to a lot more of this if Obama wins and,as George Clinton might say,
"paints the White House black".

Yet another non-story, brought to you by The Swamp.

"At The Swamp, we trivialize the election so you don't have to."

So, did Ludacris, like Ralphie Boy Nader take some Republican money to produce this "Obama's greatest misogynist hits of Primary 08' video?
This won't matter if Hillary is on the ticket--Imagine the 2 of them on stage making FUN of how Democrats can take a check or two and keep on skating?
If Hillary's on the ticket, it won't ge close enough for the nasty people to steal another election.

As an Obama supporter I have to take comfort in these types of stories because it proves that there is so little (at least now) on him that the negativity has to be aimed at those who simply have something to say about him, and not the man himself.

On a side note I think a post needs to be done on the racist remarks people feel free to make online--but how many of them would feel good saying that stuff on national TV, for instance?

Ludacris should have served in the Navy. If he had then he would have learned the phrase: "Loose lips sink ships."

And here I thought the almighty Ludacris would be the opening act for Obama at Invesco in Denver. That's a shame...

If you want a preview of the Osama presidency just watch Idiocracy

Does Obama have to answer to everything and anything that comes out of the mouth of other people? In my 25 to 30 years on watching political races, I’ve never seem someone have to answer for others as much as he has. Free speech is not his job to reprimand.

Ludacris, like most hip hop artists try to give voice to the landscape of America to their audience. This song is not a dedication to Obama. It is a piece about the Obama movement and how it makes Cris feel. Now Obama does not respond to every political cartoon written about him?

Will, Idiocracy was about the over corporatization of the country, and what happens when consumerism goes overboard and hands too much control to the leadership. It was an anti-right message. Look into it, and who made it.

And stop with the name-calling. It's childish.

With friends like Ludacris (Jackson, Wright, et al), who needs McCain.

Think about it.

The rapper is another example of the differences between McCain and Obama.
McCain is a fatherly type figure. Obama is a rock star type figure (but without any talent!)
Who do you want to run the country? Would they have the national anthem rapped when Obama's sworn in?
I'm tired of seeing Obama and hearing how "popular" he is - I'd rather see some reporting on what he's done..but then - I guess there isn't anything to report.

From Ludacris to Wright to Pfleger to Soros to Ayers, it's astounding how much hard-left hate Obama has voluntarily aligned himself with for the last 20 years.

This is America's future if Obama gets elected. People wake up!

OK, seriously? I've seen this a few times on message boards lately, people complaining that their taxes are going up on "every $1,000,000 earned". Please, if you make even one million, not to mention more than one, is it really that big a deal? Ridiculous. I saw another guy on here complain how "Obama thinks if you make $250,000, you're rich". The audacity of people amazes.

"Let's see what kind of song Ludacris is singing when his taxes go up by $46,000 to $396,000 on every $1,000,000 earned after 2010."

"THis is America's future if Obama gets elected. People wake up!" (BBC) Are you crazy? That is the most racist comment (and ignorant comment ) I've heard in a while. So you only vote for a candidate based on what others may or may not sing about him? Please stay home on election day.

In the video, Ludacris says that Obama has told him he is his favorite rapper. What judgement!?
Too bad the DNC shoved Obama down our throats.

Elect an empty suit for president? No thanks. Do it just to make "history"? Are you serious, or desperate? Buy into his rhetoric about change? Really? Change what; change it how; and pay for it how??? Oh, yeah, raise our taxes... Thanks for nothing. Obama's superb record as a junior senator should speak for itself. Ha, just kidding.

Lies, lies, lies. What we're not being told is 4 men are responsible for Ludicris' current campaign to cause Obama to be embarrassed. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and McCain have Ludicris on their payroll. They plan to continue to use pop stars to cause Obama embarassment. That's why we saw Paris Hilton and Madanna in that TV commercial with Obama also. We need to impeach these 4 Texans before more pop stars cause Obama embarrassment. He's already slipping in Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Virginia.

Gee, if a white performer sang something this offensive, the outcry would have been immediate, and intense. But a Black performer sang it, so people are hestitantly speaking out. MAkes me wonder...

Ludacris really put his foot in the dog waste... He is someone I don't listen to and now won't listen to either... Who is this man trying to impress?

I can picture it now:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the World"

Followed by the posse of hate filled preachers, home grown terrorists, enviro nitwits and other assorted socialist whackos.

Good grief, God help us.

The lyrics are very offensive and the comment about McCain in a chair only if he's paralyzed sounds like threat of violence against him. Obama has yet to denounce and condemn this demented rapper. Almost as disturbing is that he's one of Obama's favorites and he listens to him on his ipod soaking in the hostility. The question is why? What kind of hypocrit is he pretending he cares about the minds of children?

Im a white dude and i liked it. Nothing can offend me after 8 years of Bush. The idea of another 4 years of McSame scares me more than any song by Ludacris.

Why does this song need either Obama's approbation or censure? Do artists now need to check with politicians before writing songs? I don't think so. The lyrics are far less offensive than most of the garbage that fills the airwaves every night of which I'm sure many of you partake. Please, find something of substance to worry about.

Ludacris has "Rev Wrighted" Obama. This is too funny.

They must have cut the sound off of this video, I heard the commercial prior but nothing when this man started speaking. What did he say?

Maybe I can find it on line.

What a great song, Obama should use it in all his ads it really reprsents who he is. Look no more, Obama has found his new V.P., with the two of them on the ballot they will win in a land slide.

Those lyrics' should have never been released and Luda knows that. Even thought it may seem that Obama is about to cross the finish line its comments like those that will give McCain a nitro boost to finish this race before Obama can take another step. We need to support him in a positive way and keep all of our personal opinions to ourselves out of respect for Obama.

Rick McCain, maybe Obam should have been a little more selective in picking his friends over the years. He wouldn't be apologizing so much today. You can certainly judge people by the friends they keep. Or in this case kept. We can look forward to a scary four years if Obam gets in.

Obama: "Is that the best you can come up with?" ... well, it may not be as good as solving our energy problem, by adding air to our tires. but, hey Obama ... if you want substance between you and McCain ... then, why do you refuse to debate him in 10 town hall meetings? Obama has been attacking his opponents ... first Hillary ... now McCain, by way of his supporters ... who he has to keep distancing himself from, only after they're caught that is, to give the appearance that he is not involved in the attacks. As far as Obama looking different than the Presidents on our dollar bills ... this presumptuous, pompous, arrogant candidate is probably already planning how he will redesign our currency, with his picture on it, like the way he redesigned the Presidential seal ... that is, whenever he can take some time away from accusing everybody who disagrees with him of being a racist. Obama is a cry baby, who is not qualified to be President of the United States.

Do we not have the freedom of speech or did you people let Bush take that away too. Some people say they trust McShame with there military over Obama because he has experience but when was that, when the military was segregated. Look people Bush has already taken away more freedoms than most of you even know chasing ghost and McShame wants to continue down that road. If you want World War III go ahead vote for McShame and watch the body count... But let the song play

America is back to the sixties while the rest of the world is moving forward towards real integration and diversity far beyond racial revenge and white people ridiculous guiltyness. America is the only place on earth where black people set themselves appart as AFRICAN AMERICAN. LUDACRIS AND GOOD LUCK!

Ludacris made an interesting comment.....he said that it seemed to be a lot of miscommunication going on. Wonder what he meant by that, could he mean the communication that he had with Obama about them putting this out there?

Well something is a little fishy here. I couldn't here this video when it first played (techno difficulties they were having) so I came back to it, and they had Lud saying something that struck me as odd, so I commented on it. Hey, now the video is gone, and my comment is no where to be seen.

In the video that WAS on here with Ludacris after this screw up, he said he guessed there was just some misunderstanding or something. So, I commented that it was odd to say that, it appears that he is talking abou an agreement he had with someone...like OBAMA.

I commented on this and the second video of Lud disappeared, along with my post.

The song is weak, the rap is weak & I really thought Ludacris was smarter than that. Although I listen to some pretty raw rap: LYNCH, C-BO, WC/CUBE, I don't let my kid listen it and I don't run out and whup somebody cause I listened to a mysognistic rap tune. It's parents that shape the kids not weak rappers or even Barack Obama. Obama needs to focus on his campaign and stop trying to up his "street cred" by buddying up to studio gangsters like Ludacris. Luda just showed everybody what an imbecile he is. As if Obama didn't know what kind of lyrics Luda spit before he started buddying up to him - please. It's almost as if Obama sets this stuff up and then comes riding in with the "can't we all get along" tripe, to make him look like a real leader. Sound familiar? The same happened with Reverend Wright. I see a pattern.

WHERE IS THE VIDEO OF LUDICRIS????????????? I've heard so much about it, and saw it on here once and then it dissapeared, and I can't find it anywhere on line. He made the comment publicly that there must have been some kind of miscommunication. I think that is very telling, I'm sure the public would like to see that one. Who did he have a miscommunication with SWAMP? Are you checking into that story?

How many of you are african american , really this is'nt truly for you this is our code ofg communicating with our people you have your little part of society that we are really not to worried about .theres alot of things that just need time to understand rap music is'nt one for you guy's other than a select few let us talk to each other get these young people out to vote so you can't sit back and say they have the oppritunity to vote but won't .it's the way things have been said and done over the past 4 decades . Ronald Reagan did it and so did Arnold Swartzennegger.don't trip get hip it's yall game don't get mad cause we playing it too.Some body will have some real smart answer ,but this is how it is you don't want to see a black in the white house and we feel that there is someone of color that is intellectually sound enough to be the president of the united states of america when ever you get trew with it !!!
