'Paint the White House black'

Democratic voters who are on the fence about Barack Obama (start with the 18 million who voted for Hillary Clinton) aren't going to like the implication in the new song by rapper Ludacris promoting a Barack Obama presidency.

The two lines are are sure to get the most attention:

Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
McCain don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed

There are a lot of Americans who are on the fence about Obama, not necessarily for his skin color, but for his association with so many people who hate this country -- Rev. Wright, the Weather Underground terrorists, etc.) You can add the name of Ludacris to that list.

The Obama campaign has issued a condemnation for the song, but Obama himself earlier praised Ludacris as a talented artists and an example of a successful black businessman. This sounds like another of those "trying to have it both ways" attempts by Obama.

It all comes back to the company you keep. Make up your own mind.

Here are the lyrics of Ludacris' Obama Song:

I'm back on it like I just signed my record deal
Yeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet, it got sex appeal
Never should have hated
You never should've doubted him
With a slot in the president's iPod Obama shattered 'em

Said I handled his biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer
Better yet put him in office, make me your vice president
Hillary hated on you, so that bitch is irrelevant

Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
If you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!
And all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my man

You can't stop what's bout to happen, we bout to make history
The first black president is destined and it's meant to be
The threats ain't fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
So get off your ass, black people, it's time to get out and vote!

Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
McCain don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and I throw 'em like candy wrap
'cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents

Get out and vote or the end will be near
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!
'cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!
