Obama camp condemns song: Ludacris 'should be ashamed'

July 30, 2008
Categories: Barack Obama

Barack Obama's campaign is condemning a song by the rapper Ludacris that praises Obama and bitterly attacks Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

"As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesnגt want his daughters or any children exposed to," said spokesman Bill Burton. "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."

"Hillary hated on you, so that bitch is irrelevant," say the lyrics. "McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped."

The song also celebrates Obama's rise.

"The first black president is destined and it's meant to be," go the lyrics, calling on voters to "paint the White House black.

The song notes that Obama has praised Ludacris, and calls on him to "give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer."

"The world is ready for change because Obama is here!" it concludes.

I'm with Obama on this one. Weak lyrics, not helping the cause either.

Obama has to condemn this shit because you know damn well Bill O'Reilly is going to be playing this song all god damn week and linking it to Obama. O'Reilly has a hard on for Nas, Snoop, and especially Ludacris.

yea he said how he liked "mostly old school stuff (other than hip hop music), but he liked to listen to Jay-Z & Eminem, Altho at times the lyrics can be offensive". I guess for this story they decided to use half of the quote

whatever, people are just gonna have to start to learn that just because Luda is black and Obama is bi-racial don't mean that they think alike, even if Luda supports Obama.....

Personally I think that if Luda was smart he woulda seen beforehand how this song might of been misconstrued into some bad press for Obama.....I mean how smart is it to just release this joint anyway despite the fact that you know white conservatives are gonna use it against your caniddate?......Come on Luda, your smarter than that.....
