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.

17. According to Tine Hahiyary, one of Obama's teachers and the principal from 1971 through 1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the school. "I remembered that he had studied "mengaji" (recitation of the Quran)" Tine said.
Just Saying! So Vote For Obama!

18. Obama enrolled in the Besuki Primary School, a government school, as Barry Soetoro, Muslim. In third grade, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled 'I Want To Be a President.' His third grade teacher: Fermina Katarina Sinaga "asked her class to write an essay titled 'My dream: What I want to be in the future.' Senator Obama wrote 'I want to be a President,' she said."

19. He's a muslim mole.He is dangerous.He will destroy the USA slowly but surely.I prefer Hillary,she may not be perfect but Barack Hussein Obama is more flawed.Besides he carries a lot of bagage from being a poor black,with a single mother in America of the 60's and 70's.A vote for him is a vote for disaster.

20. All Indonesian students are required to study religion at school and a young Barry Soetoro, being a Muslim, would have been required to study Islam daily in school.

He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran and to study the laws of Islam.

21. It's too bad Obama didn't brush off that racist pastor of his twenty years ago. At BEST, Obama is NO LEADER and lacks good judgement... at WORST, I shudder to think of it! He is a RACIST black and a closet ANTI-AMERICAN. He is also a LIAR and a closet Muslim.

Personally, I can't STAND Hillary... but she would be better than Obama. ANYONE would be. I only hope and PRAY that McCain is our next President. He would NOT withdraw our troops immediately and cause a blood bath. He would also NOT demoralize our troops and he wold NOT embolden the enemy. McCain '08!!!!!!!!!

23. You bunch of haters out there. If he did something that was a Soprano move it would be alright. How you people feel a Soprano (Mafia) thing is ok and so against, what you would deem gangster, as bad. Especially when this supposed gangster Jay Z is just a media hype selling thing. Use your heads for something other than a hat rack. Many of your white wealthy people got that way doing criminal acts, like the Kennedys. As for Hillary and McCain the same old gangster government will go on. Just look at what Bush did, that is more gangster than any so called gangster has done. The U.S. government is the most gangster thing, they will sacrifice millions of people to get rich and control of property. Wake up people Jay Z has nothing on the U.S. government.

24. Wow. Some of you people are pretty effing stupid. Anybody still throwing up 'REV WRIGHT' comments should actually sit down and LISTEN to the whole sermon, try exercising a little independent thought for once - but that would be too hard for some of you. Instead, you prefer to get your opinions from the media and anyone who makes you feel more comfortable in your ignorance.
I have no idea what Obama brushing the dirt off his shoulders has to do with 'gangsta rap' LOL, Islam, or Jay-Z besides the obvious song reference, but I think it's refreshing to see someone running for office show a little personality and humor instead of the robots we usually get. Did anyone even listen to what he was saying in reference to brushing off the 'dirt'? He was telling the truth.

27. Wow! After reading these comments, I can't believe the people here are calling Obama a racist or unAmerican. SMDH! If you don't want Obama for president then leave the country for ...oh...about 8 years. LMAO!

28. Just because you disagree with OBAMA, should not make you a racist. Everytime, anyone disagrees with all the OBAMA PLANTS - the first thing that comes out of their mouth is "YOUR A RACIST". If I don't like this man, that is my issue, if you don't like Hillary thats your issue. But you should NOT call people Racist.. Its not about racism, its about who is best for this country. I am not on the OBAMA train, and probably will not be. this man will be a puppet to Daschle, Kerry and Kennedy. He claims he is not the normal politician that he is for change, but his advisors are all the Democratic Dinasours.

VOTE FOR OBAMA IF YOU BELIVE IN HEARTS, RAIMBOWS AND UNICORNS...

Not impressed...
