Yeah, Allah suggested it would happen earlier today, but seriously—Who would've guessed that it would take less than one day for Senator "HopeChange ChangeHope" Obama to toss the artist under the bus?
UPDATE: Barack Obama's campaign spokesman Bill Burton sends this statement to The Brody File
“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. 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 the values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics."
4 hours to complete glass-chinned, totally pancake-like disavowal?
Now that's what I call "leadership we can believe in."
For the next hour or so, at least.

Hey Obama, he should only be ashamed of THESE lyrics? Have you ever listened to Ludacris' other songs? It's the exact same shit without naming anyone. "Bitches & Hoes, Guns & Violence".
Oh, and Luda, people can "Hate" on Obama if they want. We don't all have to collectively drop down on our knees and get ready to swallow a shot of change.
