That was awesome. Obama definitely should NOT have condemned the video. Hillary is called a bitch (true), McCain old and sickly (true), and Bush mentally handicapped (true). If I were Obama, I would just have not said anything, rode the wave of positive publicity among the youth, who will all love the comedy and truthfulness of Ludacris. Because everyone wants to call these three fools for who and what they are.

I think Obama and Ludacris are both smart enough to know that they each do what they gotta do-- politicians have to distance themselves, rappers have to let the mind have an unobstructed path out the mouth. Only Bush could see this as a real beef!

Oh please. There's nothing offensive about the Ludacris video. Don't those media pundits know what rap is about? Luda's rap is restrained and honest. The b*tch reference was bleeped. The wheelchair reference signifies 2 images: the black-on-black violence from generations of anger that still festers today in our cities, and also the policy "paralysis" that we will likely experience if McCain occupies the White House. And what's more offensive? A rapper who tells it like he means it? or the President of the United States giving the finger on camera? That image was telling, by the way.
