Do You Think Luda Went Too Far?

Things are getting political up in this b***h! This Ludacris and Obama ordeal is a hot topic right now. I do not want to rehash everything that went down, but I will summarize things in a nutshell if you have not got wind of the whole situation. Apparently, Luda, who is a strong supporter of the Obama campaign, has made a track, which stated that Obama was destined to be President. What really got people in a twist was when he said, "Hilary is a b****, Bush is mentally handicapped, and McCain doesn't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed."

Obama has heard the track and feels that Luda's comments were offensive. The presidential candidate even took a stab at hip-hop by stating that "rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn't want his daughters or any children exposed to." My question to the readers is this....did he take it too far? Like I said this is a hot topic and my first reaction was to leave all else alone, but I thought, why not post a poll to see how the readers feel to keep my butt out of the hot seat. Haha!

I will say this however, I am the type of person that always sees the broader perspective in everything. I can look at both sides of a situation. With that said, I can say that I firmly believe in freedom of speech. Isn't that what America is built on? Why does hiphop always have to be the scapegoat on everything? People can say what they want to say. On the flip side of the coin, Obama is in awkward position right now. This is make or break time and really a monumental moment in history. When has their ever been a black presidential candidate? Uh....never! I think it is safe to say he is walking on egg shells right now and has to make the right moves. Like I said, he is making history. Why would he want to do or say the wrong thing? I can keep going about this, but I am going to stop. All I wanted to do is toss a few ideas out there and see what you guys think. Take the poll below and please leave comments if you have anything to say. Don't be scurred! Haha! There is nothing like a good heated debate!
