Obama, Down with Jay-Z?

McCain claims he's down with the dimwits on "The Hills," but Barack Obama has one-upped him - seems he's down with Beyonce's man! Jigga, what?


During a speech in North Carolina last night, Obama "brushed the dirt off his shoulders," you know -- like the Jay-Z song -- in response to all the mudslinging that's been going on in the race to the White House.

He's got 99 problems but a Clinton ain't one.

5. Poster numbe 1, you are ignorant. I can tell you know nothing about him, why don't you educate yourself and last time I checked he was an American. But I guess stupid is as stupid does.

6. The more color he shows, the less I understand him. He and his wife are hiding a lot of hate towards white people, God forbid he gets into the White House and gains real power over anybody.

9. That is what you have to do! He is extremely smart and eduacated. President's dont have to be so stuffy. Hillary likes to have a drink or two and eat pizza, that is just the real them. My vote is for Obama. I dont believe the people in the White house are still chummy with the Clintons. Every thing that she will try to do, congress will disagree with because they dont like Bill and she will never truly achieve anything. I also think she comes across a little unstable and I dont trust her.

11. Wow, what the heck does brushing off your shoulder have to do with hating white people, being unAmerican and the ghetto? Sorry folks, JayZ did not coin the phrase "brush your shoulders off" (or the gesture) and Obama doesn't have to reach to JayZ for an endorsement. Some of you need to read more than TMZ, Obama's mother is white (so I guess he must hate himself), he gradated from Harvard (far from the ghetto) and he is already in the lead for delegates and superdelegates.

12. I promise. It really is true racists are cowards! It is really easy to do this crap under cover! Just like the cowards of the KKK! You are no better! Many of you will be in church tomorrow and hate people whom you do not know! Come quickly Lord Jesus!

He only inverting popular culture into his speech! Did idiots #1 and #5 notice that all he did was brush his sholder! Nothing more! Whites and blacks applauded him! That is now a universal symbol to not let haters bother you, and it is the same thing I am doing right now to these hate filled posts! I am brushing my sholder! LOL!

Go Obama!!!!

13. I guess if you have no problems with the fact that Obama lied to us when first caught by Rev. Wright saying he had not heard any of the P's sermons when he 3 days later had to admit he had since the story wasn't going away. And if you have no problems with his racist preacher and 20 year mentor (like we are supposed to believe the guy had no influence - BS), then maybe you have a problem with being called a Rich White Person or a Typical Scared White Person or the fact that if you like God, happen to have a gun and don't make millions a year, you are BITTER. Personally, I want a president who will represent ALL of us - not just his black friends.
