I know it sounds crazy but ya never know. We don't want to open him up for anything. Just a thought. Unless you use the music and eliminate everything except the beat and the phrase brush your shoulders off.
While I loved the gesture and needed it after that debate last nigt, I was thinking the same thing - it would be just more ammunition for MSM; though the mere gesture itself might send them in search of its meaning and origin.
There's an interesting story here about Obama Superdelegates finding that there sisterhood is questioned:

Anyhoo, Kos had that video up pretty early today and a young Kossack caught it...and immediately I went into protect B.O. mode, thinking oh sh**, as insanely dope as I thought it was I just wanted to keep it confined to those who understand urban culture (good, bad, context, history and all). I wanted to grab the dude that found it and say Nooooo, just keep it as a little present to yourself. Maybe I'm paranoid, but we all saw what went down on the Mickey Mouse club last night and I for one saw the extreme disconnect between white and black progressives during the Mike Vick saga (please don't start that debate with me...we just wanted compassion and balance, I too love dogs okay). I went to see Jay and Mary last Tuesday in Atlanta and the absolute best part of the show was when he he did the song from 'American Gangster' (I forget which one) and it got to the part where he says 'Fu** Bush', a huge picture of shrub was flashed on the digital backdrop that spanned one side of Phillips Arena and the crowd ate it up...then, the best part...he flashed a pic of Barack and the place went wild. Sean Carter, understanding the nuance of this Amerikan game made sure he said that the Senator's campaign had nothing to do with his endorsement. Best part of the show! But seriously plenty white liberals and black folks have misplaced hate for hip-hop and Obama already has to walk a fine line. Ahhh, I just remember he met with Ludacris a while back to talk about issues important to the younger generation...hope that doesn't creep back up.
I love his swagger and LOVED the reference, I'm just a little uneasy about how easily this can be a manufactured controversy.
Go Obama, but, not with this sort of lyric atached to his name, the GOP is using it enough behind closed doors and will only give them more ammo to use about why a black man should not hold the job.

I don't know why her supporters are complicit in their own deception.
A NeoGAF forum poster made these, but I forgot what his user name/handle is:

the cast of High School Musical 2 was moderating the debate.
I agree with commenter Chris Chambers...US media is over.
there are also crazy video's of her out there, so let's talk real talk, he wouldn't have thousands of people voting for him if he was a shallow as a bunch of musical lyrics....people are smarter then that, and the ones who aren't
never planned to vote for him in the first place
I just thought it was universal. I like the song though, definitely a head bobber.
I wish Tupac were still with us.
