Barack Obama Rejects Ludacris Support Song

Barack Obama's campaign team has labelled a supportive song made by rapper Ludacris as "outrageously offensive".
During the lyrics of 'Politics As Usual', Ludacris calls President Bush "mentally handicapped" and also insults both Hillary Clinton and John McCain.
In a statement yesterday (July 30th) by Barack's campaign spokesman Bill Burton, he said: "As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn't want his daughters or any children exposed to."
Also in the song, Ludacris urges black people to vote in the forthcoming election and repeats lines like, "the world is ready for change 'cause Obama is here".
