START POSING ON CONSERVATIVE SITES!!!!

people know the right is going to use this, even though luda was using words and not a gun...not like he went on a hate filled rampage against conservatives and neo-con(victs) in a church and killed two people during a childrens' performance ..... oh, sh*t didn't that....

HEY, WHAT'S WITH THE CENSOR SHIP ANYWAY?!!!

but, oh well, here we go again... is mccain responsible for every word uttered by everyone of his supporters. how about phil gram's comments? WOW, its all in our heads not being able to buy gas, food, and pay bills all on two checks. i guess a "nation of whiners" can look past that because he was only the economic adviser on the mccain ticket....but we know whats REALLY important.
a rap lyric...... and we all know how so very relevant rap is!!!

people need to ask, who has a bigger impact on THEIR life?
some guy talking..... or some guy making policy?

bunch of "whiners".

T.

Craig,
Foil antenna going up... Do you think that Luda is working for the Billary camp on the low?? (as I look over my shoulder) lol
These rappers have done so much dirt, it would be easy to blackmail one of them.

Luda probably thought he was safe, since they played Jay-Z's "99 Problems and A __ Ain't One" at the Iowa Victory Party.

You have this fake outrage at Ludacris/Obama and the new complaints that Obama's not "aggressively raising money like he's supposed to" and it just seems to be manufactured outrage to whip up Hillary supporters to press for her to be the VP.

Oh! Now I see where you're coming from Town about the fake outrage - and I agree with you completely! We haven't heard one word from the virulent Hillary supporters who scream "sexism" when it comes to Bob Johnson and I always believed the "Iron My Shirt" incident was a set up. Several people noticed in that video that the lights actually came up (brighter) when the guy put up the sign. You could actually tell. It seemed very fishy to me.

I wasn't talking about Bob Johnson getting criticized on this site. Bob Johnson was one of the Gang of 20 who sent that letter to Pelosi threatening repercussions and consequences if she and the superdelegates didn't back Hillary. He was the one out there insinuating Obama was doing drugs in the corner while Billary was out saving black folks. He was out there saying Obama betta choose Hillary as VP. This man made billions off of degrading black women, off of black women being called bitches in songs, black asses gyrating, credit cards being swiped down ass cracks, etc. Not to mention 99% of the black men on the channel were drug dealers, pimps, layabouts, thugs, hood rich, etc. All the news shows got taken off, all the positive shows got taken off so we could have more asses shaking (in between the infomercials).

The Hillary supporters are screaming about "sexism!" but one of her biggest supporters made his fortune off of...sexism.

It's fake. Fake outrage. Hillary gets up in the newspaper screaming about sexism, but one of her biggest fundraisers/supporters made his $$$ off of sexism. Hillary screams about sexism but one of her biggest surrogates claimed Hillary was more of a man than Obama was and had the body parts to prove it. And all Hillary did was shuck and buck like a simpering fool when he said that. Geriatric Ferraro gets up on TV crying about the dudes carryign in the IRON MY SHIRT sign, but not one person questioned her as to HOW these dudes were able to sneak in a big ass IRON MY SHIRT sign and get down to the front row with it. It's all phony. I need for all this fake outrage and tomfoolery to stop.

ITA! This just gives Hillary Fanatics, McCain's Campaign, and the media more ammunition to use against Obama. Now, for the next 2-3 days they'll be talking about this instead of the real issues.

THINK, PEOPLE! THINK! Folks coming out their mouth way too early, thinking Obama got this on lock. We've got 4 looooong months to go. Speak and act strategically.

Why would an artist with such a high mainstream profile and who has visibly supporting a candidate, make a song like that?

well, I won't even SAY what me and my girlfriend have called Ms. Hillary in our home as we watched the primary insanity unfold. Perhaps this makes us two lesbians "anti-woman."

Also none of these people had a problem when Ludacris was calling black women bitches in his song, but heavens to Betsy don't call Miss Hillary a bitch!

"The best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people that are unemployed..."

Obama, dude... Not helping. It's like Harvard failed you. Like you don't know what reparations are. Brown vs. Board and all that MLK civil rights stuff (and affirmative action) is supposed to be about that good schools and jobs stuff.

"Chris Rock had a routine. He said some-too many of our men..."

Obama, dude... NOT helping. You know that sh*t came from Rock's "N*ggers vs. Black people" routine. It's like Harvard failed you, quoting a comedian... It's like you subscribe to some of that Juan Williams bs that Black people have become more than one race.

It is not just about Obama; that song is just low brow and not creative. But, in reference to Obama... Why would an artist with such a high mainstream profile and who has visibly supporting a candidate, make a song like that?

Luda is a grown ass man, I don't know who he was trying to play tuff guy for, with those ghetto lyrics. The important thing is this shows how lazy some rapper artist have become.

But we all knnow the game...Be on the look out for a new Luda album in about 2 months. That was a pure publicity stunt on Luda's part.

"Couldn't he come up with something more moving and meaningful to honor Obama?"

That would be too much like RIGHT!

Imagine the thoughtful, seering rhymes he could have made about Bush or McCain or even Hillary. Something that shows he's read a paper or understands the issues that separate Obama from McCain and Bush (the war, McCain not knowing the difference between Sunnis and Shiites, McCain waxing rhapsodic about the situation on the non-existent "Iraq/Pakistan border."

Like you, I'm hardly a rap connoisseur, but a true lyricist could have done something really powerful here.

I read that rap and I admit I'm not a rap connoisseur but it seemed thrown together, like he didn't dig very deep or try to be thoughtful about it. It was mostly trash talk. We have the first viable black candidate, couldn't he come up with something more moving and meaningful to honor Obama. "Bush is mentally handicapped"?...c'mon, couldn't he be more original than that?

I agree he was being selfish, it's all about riding Obama's wave to get a few bucks in sales. He just sat down and threw something together in a couple minutes to take advantage of the news cycles.

Everybody's hustling and trying to make a buck....off Obama.

In other, much more important, news, Obama says he will order review of executive orders.

Barack Obama told House Democrats on Tuesday that as president he would order his attorney general to scour White House executive orders and expunge any that "trample on liberty," several lawmakers said.

Presidents, as head of the executive branch of government, issue such orders to direct operations of executive branch agencies, like the Justice Department and the CIA. For example, President Bush used an executive order last year to breathe new life into the CIA's controversial terror interrogation program that allowed harsh questioning of suspects.

Obama "talked about how his attorney general is to review every executive order and immediately eliminate those that trample on liberty," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.

"He indicated there would be a review in his administration," said Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., the House majority whip.

Obama did not mention executive orders when he addressed reporters who waited for him outside the closed-door meeting. He said only that he would be campaigning alongside members to win the presidency and help expand Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.

"I am looking forward to collaborating with everyone here to win the election, but more importantly to collaborate with everybody here and also some like-minded Republicans to actually govern and to deliver on behalf of the American people," Obama said.

During his presidency, Bush increasingly has relied on executive orders to dictate policies without seeking congressional approval. His orders have ranged from restrictions on striped bass fishing to sanctions against Myanmar's government.

Obama did not indicate who his attorney general would be, or any other member of his Cabinet. To lawmakers who asked about his Cabinet plans, Obama said: "Get me elected, and then I'll worry about the Cabinet. . . ."
