“… The suspicion arises that someone in the United States especially created this conflict with the aim of making the situation more tense and creating a competitive advantage for one of the candidates fighting for the post of U.S. president.”

I’m watching BBC now and im wondering if they’re covering this at all in the US. I mean this is exactly what I thought would go on down the road, myself and warren had jokingly talked about starting a war then luring iran in so that McCain the proven war guru would be elected. But the fact that it is actually going on is crazy.

The Listenerd points us to this fantastic XXL interview with rapper DMX that covers many topics, including the presidential election. A felon, DMX can’t vote, so he’s not paying too much attention to the process.

Are you following the presidential race?
Not at all.

You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
His name is Barack?!

Barack Obama, yeah.
Barack?!

Barack.
What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
Barack Obama?

Yeah.
What the fuck?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here.

You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
I ain’t really paying much attention.

I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…
Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

So you’re not following the race. You can’t vote right?
Nope.

Come on. This was some selfless stuff, I guarantee you every person in his campaign who had a say was in his ear like “Just denounce your pastor, move on, let this blow over.” And barack easily could have done that, but he went big, kept it really real and may have fucked his campaign. But he did what was right, and in an incredibly well written (by barack himself) speech he voiced his opinion on race and showed that this country is a special one. As much as I can bash the US of A this man gives me hope.

He doesn’t play by the safe political rules and it may cost him the election but this dude is saying things that need to be said.

Sadly this may be way too complicated of a speech and a message for most of america. News outlets are gonna shrink it into a 4 word headline and that’s all most of us will see.

Don’t be that person, watch the speech above. Gather your thoughts, create an opinion and let me know what you think down below.

(sorry this got political but christ this was a ballsy move on Baracks part)

First get informed then go vote for the canidate YOU BELIEVE will change this world for the better.

I figured my shit out a while back, so did Will.I.Am ScarJo and more.

Hillary Clinton has Barbra Streisand. Mike Huckabee has Chuck Norris. And now presidential candidate Barack Obama has Scarlett Johansson: After partying with beau Ryan Reynolds for New Year’s, the actress surfaced at the Iowa Caucuses on Thursday to support the Democratic contender and F.O.O. (Friend of Oprah). An Obama press rep tells PEOPLE the 23-year-old Lost in Translation star showed up at events in Des Moines and Coralville. So how’s her man doing? Check out CNN.com for the latest updates from Iowa.

Barack Obama, a person who some have touted as “America’s fastest rising political star” has taken the first steps to running for president in 2008.

Democratic Sen. Barack Obama said Tuesday he is taking the initial step in a presidential bid that could make him the nation’s first black to occupy the White House.

Obama announced on his Web site, www.barackobama.com, that he was filing a presidential exploratory committee. In a video on his exploratory committee web site, Obama said, “On February 10th, at the end of these discussions, in my home state of Illinois, I’ll share my plans with my friends, neighbors and fellow Americans.”

The serious debate here is do you think America is ready for a black president? I don’t know. I personally don’t think so, I think Hilary Clinton will have a tough enough time as a woman. Regardless go read more about Barack Obama’s run for president here.
