Obama throws hi Bro Ludacris under the bus... in under 3 hours
The Politico ^ | 7-30-08 | Ben Smith

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 doesn’t 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."

I don’t know what’s funniest about that picture - the bus, the “victims” or Obama shakin’ it like Urkel. LOL.

Rush just said—Obama didn't condemn it, his campaign did.

Wow, dumped the guy in three hours. That is even less time than McGovern took to dump Eagleton.

No he didn’t. As Rush pointed out, he had a SPOKESMAN do it. Obama has yet to throw Luddie under the bus.

Too late, Hussein's gangsta friends love their homeboy too much to crawl under the bus with Grandma whitey.

This is a contrived event. You can bet he had Ludicris write the song and then uses it to gain points and an oh, so fair candidate. It happened to fast, just like with Jesse Jackson’s contrived mic slip.

“... Another thrown under the bus!
And another one thrown,
and another one thrown,
and another thrown under the bus!”

(Sung to the tune of “Another One Bites The Dust”, by Queen.)

What do you suppose the chance of urban rioting will be election night?

“Less than three hours...what’s the “throwing under the bus” record to date?”

I don’t buy it. Obama most likely arranged for Ludacris to do the terrible rap so Obama could come out and make a nice statement about values! Reminds me again of the “private prayer” Obama wrote and gave to the media to release....so he could boost his being a Christian.

“and someone opens the door and they all fall out.”

If Obama gets elected, they’ll all fall out after Election Day.

I recognize some of the members of the under the bus club (Granny, preacher, presidential logo) but could you name the rest of the members?
