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.

106. HUM! Obama - Barrack Hussian Obama - "Name" is a word or phrase that constitutes the distinctive designation of a person!
His wife finally is now proud of America! from what I saw at a rally I thought she was cheering for her Rev. White
He didn't salute the flag! I hold my heart tightly and proudly every single time I hear the Star-Spangled Banner
He believes in his Rev. White, for 20 years! Where are his commen sense, morals, pride, dignity and values!
He associates with a terroist, Allan Ayres, on a commity for 3 years, a wonder what they talked about!
And now, the people in PA. "are bitter, they cling to guns and religion" What is this man thinking? He's not!!
HUM! Hillary - Stuck by her man, how many of would do this, not many cuz the divorce rate is very high, and muct of
them very young, it's called commitment (for better or worse) and feel if she can committ to Mr. Clinton,
she will definitly committ to the USA.
First voted for the war, and so did I but I too have changed my view on this war, it must end.

107. Great Post, #94, GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Raven, for an alleged African-American who does not care about an individual's race, to then attack Senator McCain a decorated American war hero with a life long record of public service on the basis of skin colour makes you either mentally challenged or simply a liar - I will leave you to decide which objective assesment of your entire posting is correct. Either Senator McCain or Senator Obama will make a great President for the US, and definitely bring a return of honor, integrity, and honesty to the domestic and global image and policies of the American nation state.

Sally, I am assuming from the Aryan racial animus clear in your posting that you are the mirror image of your sister in hate and ignorance, Raven, wrapping yourself in the flag does not make you an American, GW Bush does that every day, and look what he has done to our great nation. Mr. Wright served as a US Marine in COMBAT and then spent his entire life in altruistic service to Americans of all races, colours, creeds, and religions, have you, Sally, done any of those things? How dare you question the patriotism of someone who actually defended this country and spilled blood to protect YOUR right to be free and spew venom on the internet anonmously?

Sally just like your Aryan sister Betty, "your racially based and non-sensical attack against Senator Obama is all over the internet, and no matter how many times you, whomever you really are, repeat it, it will not make it true, just like the racist and hate filled rantings of Reverand Hagee or Reverand Parsley do not reflect the views or beliefs of Senator McCain. And ofcourse, why bring facts into the argument, but Mr. Wright, an honorable Marine who served in combat and spent his life in altruistic service to all Americans regardless of race, color, creed, gender, or religion - never actually said what he is accused of saying - but why read and incorporate the entire text of a speech when your attention span and intellect has a 15 second lifespan that is only serviced by the American media typified by Fox News".

And, I will not comment on your laughable analysis of the Clinton marriage, as a Christian American there are certain lines of propriety in discourse that I will not cross, but simply put the Clinton's have made the Ten Commandments a door mat in both their personal and professional lives and left the tax payers of American and each state and district that they have worked in to pay the bill to clean up the legal and civil messes that have resulted.

If Raven does not like Senator McCain for being white then vote for someone else, he does not want or need your vote, and if Betty and Sally do not like Senator Obama for being an African-American then voter for someone else, he does not want or need your vote.

109. Great Post, #94, GOD BLESS AMERICA!

canthypnotizeme, "An elite education doesn't buy common sense as an adult", that is the only factually correct or relevant part of your post. The rest is sheer nonsense.

President Clinton, was hiding at Oxford University, while others were dying in his place for his draft card vacancy, and his thirty year history of the misuse of office to satiate his sexual predelicitions and professional and ethical misconduct is clear and compelling evidence that an Ivy league education does not gaurantee ethics, common sense or even intelligence.

Senator Clinton utilized her Ivy league law degree to set back the rights of women several decades by covering up the long list of women harrased and sexual victimized by Bill Clnton in every office that he ever held, and let's not forget that famous lie "the vast right wing conspiracy", when we now know she was in the White House with an army of Secret Service and surveillance allowing President Clinton to tutor Monica Lewinsky on the finer arts of human interaction. And, then Senator Clinton, as a Wall Mart board member helped to establish and implement the most anti-family, anti-union, anti-benefit, and anti-democratic policies of any employer or coroporation in the world. But, the best, or shall I say the worst is that she not only voted for the war in Iraq, but upon learning of GW Bush's lies, she refused to apologize or take responsibility for anything - how typically Clintonesque. Ofcourse, neither Bill nor Hillary are willing to explain the increase of theri post-White House worth from $0 to over $100 million due to former President Clinton's work and lobbying for Chinese and Arab business and government elites.

Both Senator McCain and Senator Obama are moral, intelligent, and hard working honest civil servants, and either one will make a great President. We need honest people in the White House to clean up the Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, mess and re-establish the image and empire of the US at home and abroad.

110. Jay and Obama are definitely fond of each other. I saw Jay-Z's show in Orange County on Friday night. During one of his songs which include a lashing of George W. he posted a huge image of W. quite the dumb look on his face. The image was greeted with heavy jeers from the audience. After a moment he asked if the crowd was ready for change. Cheers followed at which time the image of W. switched to an image of Obama. Jay made it clear with a disclaimer of, "This show is not paid for by Barack Obama. I'm just a free American exercising my right to freedom of speach." It doesn't get more clear than that.

111. To #105, If you had read my post in the manner in which it was written, you would not have assumed that I did not like McCain because he was white. That's just like saying I don't like Obamas' ears or Hillarys' teeth. You guys are reading a little too much into these posts. Lighten up people. This is TMZ not a political forum. I read these posts for entertainment purposes only during my lunch hour. Some are actually pretty funny, but most are sad. A person can be proud of their own race without disparaging others. Come toward the light CarolAnn.

112. Raven, simply because you are African-American, lazy, and intellectually disconnected does not make you somehow immune to the fact that your posting and comments were indeed racist in content and context. Sadly, it is as much of a waste of time to try to educate an African-American bigot as it is an Aryan-American bigot, and that standard refrain, that "I was just being funny" is not only disingenuous it is morally and intellectually cowardly. It is offensive when someone yells a racial epithet at a person of colour or a woman or a homosexual on the street or at TMZ - so why is it "funny" to make a completly unrelated and off-topic comment about the pigmentation of Senator McCain and his familys' skin?

If you wish to be "funny" during your lunch hour, perhaps, you should find the African-American equivalent of Andrew Dice Clay and invest your bounty of talent and intellect in discourse with him or her rather than polluting the public internet with such offensive and irrelevant comments.

Or like the rest of your ilk, Aryan or African-American, simply rant on.

Posted at 7:32PM on Apr 21st 2008 by Raven can you read? Still not?

113. FOR ANYONE WHO THINKS HE IS RACIST IS AN IDIOT. PLAIN AND SIMPLE..AS IF WHITE PEOPLE DONT LISTEN AND WORSHIP JAYZ. WHY IS THAT WHEN JAYZ "DUSTS THE DIRT OFF HIS SHOULDER" MILLIONS OF WHITE KIDS RUN TO BUY HIS CD. BUT WHEN OMABA DOES IT SUDDENLY HIM A RACIST...DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE. PLEASE THINK ABOUT THINGS BEFORE POSTING DUMBASS COMMENTS. WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ABOUT COLOR? NOW IF HILARY DID THAT WOULD SHE BE A RACIST??

114. another failed attempt at blackness we need to get him a coach. but it was a nice try

Posted at 4:31PM on Apr 25th 2008 by That guy

115. Don't be influenced by the media, Obama is not just a black man but a white man too.
His feelings are his priortiy. He's been judged by his association with his former pastoer, yet noone speaks of Hillary's pastor recently being convictd of child molestation. The media dictates our opiions, lets all be sensible and change the accepted hated of people.
