Paint It Black? (With Apologies to the Stones)

HT Tony Phyrillas:


Democratic voters who are on the fence about Barack Obama (start with the 18 million who voted for Hillary Clinton) aren't going to like the implication in the new song by rapper Ludacris promoting a Barack Obama presidency.

The two lines are are sure to get the most attention:

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

There are a lot of Americans who are on the fence about Obama, not necessarily for his skin color, but for his association with so many people who hate this country -- Rev. Wright, the Weather Underground terrorists, etc.) You can add the name of Ludacris to that list.

The Obama campaign has issued a condemnation for the song, but Obama himself earlier praised Ludacris as a talented artists and an example of a successful black businessman. This sounds like another of those "trying to have it both ways" attempts by Obama.


The TrekMedic adds:

It appears the eponymously-named Ludacris has joined the LONG list of idiots trying to "help" Obama's campaign!
