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

Those have got to be some of the worst lyrics I’ve ever seen.
“”Hillary hated on you, so that b@tch 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.”
What is he even talking about? I think you’ve got the right idea by putting “song” in parentheses.
