Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama has condemned an endorsement song from Ludacris, in which the Atlanta MC criticizes rivals Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

The song Politics: Obama Is Here contains celebratory bars on Obamas success (The first is destined and its meant to be), but turns venomous when Obamas rivals are addressed.

Ludacris references the bitter Democratic primary battle by stating Hillary hated on you/So that b**ch is irrelevant.

Regarding Republican nominee John McCain, the rapper rhymes:

McCain dont belong in ANY chair unless hes paralyzed/ Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped/ Ball up all of his speeches and I throw em like candy wrap.

Through his campaign team, Senator Obama released a statement condemning the song as offensive and typical of much of Hip-Hops current lyrical content.

As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesnt want his daughters or any children exposed to, explained spokesman Bill Burton. This song is not only outrageously offensive to Senator Clinton, Reverend Jackson, Senator McCain, and President Bush, it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics.

Previously Obama once that Ludacris music received heavy rotation in his iPod, a point also acknowledged in the song when the rapper says:

With a slot in the presidents iPod Obama shattered em/ Said I handled his biz and Im one of his favorite rappers."

Ludacris could not be reached for comment at press time.
