Obama's Rapper Friend Curses Hillary

One of Barack Obama’s favorite rappers is calling Hillary Clinton an offensive, derogatory word for females in his new song.

In the song “Politics: Obama is Here” Ludacris calls Clinton an “irrelevant b****.”

Ludacris cheers the fact Obama listens to his music and curses Clinton in the track. “Give Luda a special pardon if I’m ever in the slammer/better yet put him in office/make me your vice president/Hillary hated on you/so that b**** is irrelevant,” Ludacris raps.

In a July interview with Rolling Stone Obama was asked about the impact rap music had on “family values.” Obama responded, in part, by saying: “I know Jay-Z. I know Ludacris. I know Russell Simmons. I know a bunch of these guys. They are great talents and great businessmen, which is something that doesn't get emphasized enough. It would be nice if I could have my daughters listen to their music without me worrying that they were getting bad images of themselves.”

(Clinton supporters would undoubtedly agree with the last part of his statement.)

The rapper has some harsh words for GOP presidential candidate John McCain, too. “Get off you’re a**, black people/it’s time to get out the 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.”

He also calls President George Bush “mentally handicapped.”

MSNBC reported Obama held meetings with Ludacris in 2006 to discuss an effort to rally the youth vote. Ludacris clearly admires Obama. The song ends: “The world is ready for change because Obama is here! /cause Obama is here/The world is ready for change because Obama is here!”

Obama spokesman Bill Burton is not flattered, but notes that Ludacris is a 'talented individual'.

"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 Burton in a statement. "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 left the link to this "song" on purpose out as I don't want to give this POS any hits

They are great talents and great businessmen, which is something that doesn't get emphasized enough.

Great businessmen yes: they have to be to market that garbage to gullible and naive teens.

It would be nice if I could have my daughters listen to their music without me worrying that they were getting bad images of themselves

BHO's daughters are just b****es and ho-s to Ludacris and company....

[Gay State Conservative]

My momma always said that you could judge a person by the company they keep.”Reverend” Wright....Bill Ayers....Ludicrous......

[cerberus]

This "song" is a real gift.

I hope it remains at number 1 through the election.

It’s a Win/Win for Obama.

He wins by disavowing it.

He wins by the ‘negative campaigning’ done on his behalf.

Frank Sinatra would be jealous.

Obama/Ludacris 08

Their campaign slogan?

"No irrelevant bitches."

[SIDENET]

And Ludacris is the best of the three!

lol

[gridlock]

I don’t think the PUMAs are going to be happy to hear this...

[Northern Yankee]

Maybe Don Immus can promote the song?

These rappers are beyond the pale. Bill Cosby must be having fits to hear such trash. It's crap.

[Miss Didi]

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

[MrB]

BHO’s daughters and everyone else’s daughters, to Lewdacris & company, are just pieces of meat to be used,

and then they can get a taxpayer funded abortion so that they won’t be “punished with a baby”.

Heard this morning that BHO had the [sarc]God glorifying[/sarc] “song” “Move B*tch” on his iPod. What a classy man of character.

It’s a Win/Win for Obama. He wins by disavowing it.

He may have criticized Ludacris, but this episode would be another reminder of who Obama is. With him throwing so many of his friends/pastors/families/colleagues under the bus, people would wonder if Obama really means what he says. So, I don't think Obama is happy with him. Not to mention this will open up the wound of PUMA.

RAP =”s “Retards Attempting Poetry”

[Gay State Conservative]

It’s a Win/Win for Obama.He wins by disavowing it. He wins by the ‘negative campaigning’ done on his behalf.

That could be true in the MSM.It also could be true in California and Massachusetts.But is it true in "flyover country"? Battleground states like OH,MO,MI,MN,NM,etc?

Well, a whole bunch of us on FR have called her the same thing, and worse. No reason he shouldn't join in.

[Da Coyote]

Having a rapper for a friend should tell us just about all we need to know about the Obamaloon.

[torchthemummy]

Rap has to be the most repetitious, boring music I have ever heard. It’s literally a Mad Libs format that allows the most untalented of “singers” to have a chance at musical success.

[DogBarkTree]

It’s a win/win/lose. He loses ardent Hillary supporters who he needs badly to win in November.
