Obama campaign criticizes Ludacris

There's a new celebrity tribute to Barack Obama, but his campaign isn't exactly loving it.

The rapper Ludacris has a video, titled "Obama is here," that predicts the Democrat will win the presidency and urges blacks to get out and vote. It features footage of Obama dancing on the "Ellen Degeneres Show" and shooting hoops with US soldiers.

Ludacris is/was one of Obambi’s favorite rappers, and there never was any doubt what kind of scum Ludacris/Ludicrous really is. Bill O’Reilly had a campaign against Ludacris for his many appalling lyrics (I’m not a fan of BOR but he sure was right about this Ludacris scumbag). It’s too little too late for Obambi to pretend to be concerned and offended now that he’s feeling the heat.

This is not the Ludacris that Barack Obama knows.

RUSH: Obama didn't say anything! As usual, Obama hasn't condemned anything. Bill Burton did! By the way, it may have happened, but I haven't heard Obama condemn all those rap lyrics that often. Have you heard him condemn rap lyrics? Now, I don't read People, and I don't read US Weekly, and I don't watch E! Entertainment Weekly or whatever these 6:30, 7:30 p.m. little mindless entertainment shows are. So, you know, when the Obama family was exposed on television, he may have said he didn't like rap lyrics. He may have said it in his book. I haven't read the books. But I haven't heard him making these statements. He may have said it at the NAACP convention. I haven't heard it. All I know is Obama did not condemn this, Bill Burton did. Obama met with Ludacris in 2006, in November of 2006 to discuss things, and then in Obama Chicago office. They discussed things. They had many important things to discuss. Ludacris' political activism and some programs, typical mindless pap charities. Yeah, well, you add this guy with Jeremiah Wright and you add this guy in with Bill Ayers, and the next time Obama does speak about this, he'll say, "This is not the Ludacris I knew."

Ludacris Attacks Hillary, McCain

lewd-a-crap

As the “Reverend” (sic) Wright said long ago, Obambi may just have to ‘distance’ himself (heh heh) from some of his more incendiary pals, just to get elected.

Ludacris, get under the bus with the others! ;-)

[the invisib1e hand]

With a *wink, wink* and a *nudge, nudge* to Ludacris all the while

I would think so.

There's a trick in the brokerage industry: mail a buy recommendation to half of a population, a sell recommendation to the other. Half are guaranteed to see a great recommendation.

So a campaign can talk out of both sides of its mouth and manage to please everybody. After all, with regard to Ludacris, it's a "black thing" and "they [white's] don't get it."

More scamming from Mr. Audacious.

The messiah will bring us all together.

[Lizavetta]

I am so sick of being spoken to, or written to, like I'm in kindergarten - the n-word, the f-word, the b-word, the s-word.

If everyone knows what you mean, they're hearing that word in their head as they read. So why not print it?

[T Lady]

And if any additional pressure is applied, Ludacris will join the others already thrown under the Obama Bus.

[PhiKapMom]

You are right this is another thrown under the bus moment where he supported him before he didn’t. Since you are judged by the company you keep, I would say that Obama gets an “F!”

[Miss Didi]

Luda will pretend to go under the bus...then he’ll perform at the Convention. Barry’s big on concerts before his appearances. ;)

[Miss Didi]

By the way, Rush played the song three times today.

[BallyBill]

Mr. Ludacris want all Blacks to get out and vote for Obama. I can't wait for some white guy to tell all whites to vote against Obama to get payback for the OJ Verdict.

"Hillary hated on you, so that (bleep) is irrelevant"

That should pull in all those disgruntled Hillary supporters...

[Libloather]

Hillary hated on you, so that (bleep) is irrelevant
Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
if you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!
and all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my man
you can't stop what's bout to happen, we bout to make history
the first black president is destined and it's meant to be
the threats ain't fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
so get off your ass, black people, it's time to get out and vote!
paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed
Yeah, I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and I throw 'em like candy wrap
cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant and you the worst of all 43 presidents
get out and vote or the end will be near
the world is ready for change because Obama is here!
'cause Obama is here!
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!

Now isnt it funny that everytime that something happens to somebody that obama knows he always diregards them after that...He did it with the whole priest thing, then the jackson thing and now he is doing it with the rapper thing. He is a joke and fake. I wish all of america would wake up and see this
