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."

47. I did not hear Jesse Jackson's comment about Barrack Obama not being Black enough.
My question is "What is Black Enough"?

48. Man, O man. It is strange that someone as beautiful, and talented as Byonce could be belittled and criticized. It is the psychological behavior of those of us who ar jealous of who she is. She is precious; and adds so much to life when she performs. She is human, therefore not perfect. The world would suffer a great loss without her and her wonderful family. Give the sister all the love that is due her.

49. Things begin to shift when Beyonce is glued too tight and Obama might be surprised to discover what lies beneath her beauty.

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

53. I like Obama. Instead of criticizing what he has already heard, let's just suggest he find exposure to more music; we all could learn from other artists. EVERYONE: listen to the group LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO; just heard them live tonight. Check them out! Their themes of unity, peace, and their story of rising above apartheid make some of tonight's comments, (such as trying to slice and dice how black or white Obama is) petty and small by comparison.

54. Fat? I wish I was shaped like her a 25 inch waist is not fat anywhere, except on the runway. She has hips that real men like. as for her voice, what is wrong with a 4 octave range. Besides having 115 million dollars is not bad. Jealousy, is as cruel as the grave.

55. Due to the fact that he is not 100% African American, how could he be "black enough"? His mother is white. Why is it that bi-racial people are automatically branded "black"?

56. I think Obama is an Austin Powers fan.

57. Hey big ups to the old school genaration for being able to feel some of the things we feel in our day in time. The gap just may not be as far apart as certain people in society whats us to believe. Big Joe frm Pittsburgh, PA

58. What does "not black enough" mean anyway? That is the most ignorant statement I have ever heard. How should he prove his "blackness" by protesting alongside Sharpton & Jackson (no matter if the party involved is guilty or not)? How does what type of music you listen to determine your color? Some of these comments are among the most ignorant statements I have ever read. No wonder our country is fastly declining as the world's super power. Really sad.
