Ludacris set out to give his candidate a boost with his music but has instead angered Barack Obama.  The Obama Is Here music video features Obama dancing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and shooting hoops with U.S. soldiers.

The video disparages Hillary Clinton, using the b-word, calling her irrelevant and also mocks John McCain suggesting he belongs in a wheelchair, not the White House.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said:

“As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate 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.”

Ludacris performs Obama Is Here on video below.
