Barack and Beyonce -- Crazy in Love

Move over Obama Girl, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's got a new girl on his mind. It turns out he's pretty into bootylicious Beyonce.

On a recent campaign stop in Creston, Iowa, Obama was asked what his top tunes were, according to CNN. It turns out rockin' Barack's a big fan of old soul and new pop -- he even likes some of the new songs the young whippersnappers like!

Said Obama, "I tell you what. I can tell you the kinds of stuff that I love dancing to...I'm sort of of the generation of Stevie Wonder and 'Earth, Wind and Fire."

But Barack's also a big Beyonce fan. "I'm sort of hip to the younger stuff. You know, like Beyonce's 'Crazy in Love.' That's a good song to dance to."

31. You stupid Americans are still questioning whether he is black enough. Get over it! What are the black qualifications?

32. Obama is talking about a song, and lo and behold, a couple comments later, we hear about how fat Beyonce is and how Obama is not black enough. Some of you people are crazy. Stupid and Ignorant!! The girl dances and excercises more than 99% of us online and her body is shaped like it is, because that's the way it is. It ain't like the girl is sitting around behind her computer all day, thinking of stupid things to blog on! And the stupid comment about rap being the only true black music. Why would you limit your race to only one genre of music. We have been putting in down in so many areas of music with so many talented artists, why would you throw away a rich and wonderful culture musically , in so many areas? Some of you kids need to look to your history...we were singing and rapping before 1985, okay! Lastly, I don't get it, I know the ignorance behind someone labeling someone not black enough, but really, what do you want from him? Shall he speak ebonics, have attitude like Rev. Al Sharpton, act gangsta' .....what shall he pretend to be for you? Let this man be who he is, and if he is right for the job, elect him. Too many politicians pretend to be things they are not and their true natures come out soon enough, much to the dismay of many sectors of the population. Why all the hate sometimes????

33. Are you crazy I don't care? Beyonce's thighs and booty are not fat. Her legs are gorgeous and she is tone everywhere. The woman is a goddess. She has a perfect figure.

35. Hey, leave Barack alone.
To the poster that said he's not black enough. That crappy music you like,
is anything but real music. And by the way wasn't his Mother white?
I hope he wins the election. Best one we've had since JFK..

39. I agree she is pretty, but come on a beautiful black woman? Beauty is natural, she is NOT. How many asian women's hair has she had on her head and hair ironed - just like all the famous brothers' wives -- light skinned and shaped skinny like famous white women -- Kanye's chic is skinny; Diddy's ex is skinny (but man-faced, drag queen looking ex Kim Porter--skinny); Eddie Murphy -- all his chics are skinny.; Usher; even young Nick Cannon - skinny light skinned. All these black women with weaves. Sad. Accept your African beauty.! A real beautiful black woman is lauryn Hill or Jill Scott - talented voices who don't have to shake her ass to feel complete. Also, there is a double-standard everyone who is calling britney fat. If she were black she would be a beautiful black women -- shaking her ass with a weave. Did you see Alicia keys? She looked good, natural and noone called her fat!

40. All you people who think Barack Obama represents me, a black man is crazy. Jesse Jackson is right on. He panders to the white people too much. That's why he listens to music like Beoncye. She is half black for sure. She even says she wants to be Latino. Her music is for white folk. The only reason Black man like her is cause she a fine lookin bi*** If he really wanted to represntive my race, he'd be going on tour with the Snoop Dog or Lude. Then maybe we could trust him to represent me as a man of color. Thats all I'm sayin.

41. Barack is one talented person and should not be judged for the kind of music he listens to (or even dances). He can listen to vanilla ice if he wants to as long ashe does a good job in offie.

And Beyonce is a muti talented artist with many awards and recognitions. She has accomplished a whole lot more than some of you on here who have said bad things about her.

43. What a pitifully misleading headline. There are times when TMZ is fairly credible but this is not one of them.

44. Come on peeps. Get out and vote. We gonna take over this damn country. If we can stand behind our peeps in Jena, we can stands behind our man Obama. We are taking over, like it or not!! There is a new sherrif in town and my brother's name is Obama.

45. Beyonce performed, I believe, at the 2000 Republic National Convention, so I doubt she would perform for Obama's campaign.
