He calls Clinton a "b--"- and says "McCain don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed." Nice.This from one of Obama's favorite rappers. You can listen to it yourself here.
BTW, he sounds as overly confident of Obama's success as the subject of his song does:
"All you other politicians tryin' to hate on my man/ Watch us win majority vote in every state of 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."

Amen to the last poster.
Guy Arthur Thomas, must you mindlessly insult anybody who disagrees with you? If you are a true Christian, shouldn't you be speaking the truth in love to "lost souls" instead of angrily hurling insults at them?
Note, I was not defending Ludacris and his brethren in hip-hop. I was merely saying that the Bible contains as much (if not more) sex, violence, and debauchery than any rap album by Ludacris. It seems that you are counter-arguing that the Bible is not condoning or promoting such instances of violence and debauchery in its pages, but rather recording historical events. But in many of the wars the ancient Israelites/Hebrews/Jews fought in the Torah/OT, the Bible did not merely record them. It specifically says that God COMMANDED them to wipe out surrounding nations, sparing nobody, not man, woman, child, elderly, or disabled. God even commanded that all the animals (horses, goats, donkeys, sheep) in these surrounding nations be killed.
I believe that I have asked you a legitimate question, and ask you to answer me in a respectful manner, rather than resorting to childish and reactionary insults and loaded language, which unfortunately seems to be your trademark.
Also, I have heard Christians and Jews explain that Ezekiel 23, with its lurid descriptions of Hebrew women lusting after men from other nations, is basically a metaphor for Israel and Judah turning away from God and His law and embracing the ways of the surrounding pagan nations. But did the author of Ezekiel really have to describe the size of Egyptian mens' private parts in order to make his point?
LUDACRIS IS JUST SPEAKING THE TRUTH YOU ALL NEED TO STOP TRYING TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT PLUS BUSH IS THE WORST PRESEDENT AND MACCAIN IS JUST LIKE HIM IF MACCAIN WINS IT WILL BE JUST AS WORSE AS BUSH.
YOU THE WORST OF ALL 43 PRESEDENTS (OBAMA IS HERE)
Marcus,
Though I agree with you (and Ludacris) that Obama would make a far better president than McCain and Bush is a flat out horrible commander-in-chief, I think that Ludacris' lyrics were totally disrespectful and inappropriate. Not only does he insult people of the opposite side of the political aisle (Bush and McCain), but he also insults people who SUPPORT Obama, i.e. Hillary Clinton (who he calls a "dog") and Jesse Jackson. The song reeks of blatant sexism and misogyny, as well as disrespect toward the elderly. Honestly, with friends like Luda, does Obama really need enemies? Ludacris does certainly have a First Amendment right to record whatever song lyrics he wants (no matter how moronic), but I have a First Amendment right to call bullshit on him, which is exactly what I am doing.
And this whole thing shouldn't even be an issue. I mean, who really cares what some rapper says about the presidential candidates when we are at war in the Middle East, our economy is in dire straits, and we are facing an energy crisis?
A couple more points:
First of all, who really cares what some rapper says about the presidential candidates when we are at war in the Middle East, our economy is in dire straits, and we are facing an energy crisis?
And also, does anyone remember the 2004 election? A number of entertainers came out in support of George W. Bush. The singer Kid Rock (whose vulgar and obscene songs could give Ludacris a serious run for his money, as most of Kid's songs are him bragging about how many women he has had sex with) publicly endorsed Bush, yet conservatives weren't screaming for Dubya to publicly denounce Rock. Double standard, anyone?
