PopPolitics: Barack Obama is more popular than you favorite Rapper's favorite Rapper!

The presidential campaign is becoming more and more like the Hip Hop music industry, complete with endorsements, groupies and HATERS!!

A very talented hip hop artist once said: "Mo' money mo' problems…" It seems that not only monetary but also popularity and likability bring not only problems, but haters as well.

Just recently, presidential candidate Barack Obama endured a heavy satirical blow from the "New Yorker," a magazine widely known for its political humor, commentary, cartoons and fiction. Pictured on the front cover was a cartoon of Obama dressed in Islamic garb with his wife, who is holding a rifle and is dressed in combative gear. There is a Giant portrait of Osama bin Laden hanging over the fireplace where an American flag is burning, and of course all of this is taking place in no place other than, you guessed it, the Oval office.

Barry Blitt, a long time cartoonist for the New Yorker has a track record for utilizing politics as inspiration for his cartoons. Why is everyone so upset all of a sudden? He's targeted republicans as well and even alluded to the tragedies of the White Houses connection to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 with a drawing of Bush, Condi and other folks from the administration up to their chests in water while sitting in the Oval office. Was the cartoon too literal this time around?

Essentially, we need to understand that this was a cartoon, and came from a publication similar to "The Onion." Obama needs to take another talented hip hop artists advice and "brush the dirt off his shoulder…"

Still in spite of all this cartoon drama, Obama still gets a nod from one of America's darling representatives, Miss USA. Crystal Stewart, who won the pageant this past March, stated that she likes "the way he motivates people, that's something new and that draws me." Thank you, Miss USA for attempting to dabble in politics, just know that you will still only be remembered for how you looked in the bathing suit competition. Because of this, you are an official Barack Obama groupie. And for all those who don't give a f*ck about Miss USA pageants, yes Crystal is Black.

As if having a roster of rappers, actors, despicably wealthy talk show hosts and Miss USA as supporters, Obama almost welcomed a new kind of "race" when his camp toyed with the idea of having a Barack Obama sponsored Car in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series this August. The car would have been a sleek Toyota, (number 49 to be exact) however the Senator decided not to go forward with the sponsorship. This man is amazing! When has NASCAR ever wanted a car sponsored by a Black man? Or even a BLACK PERSON, for that matter?!! Email me when you find that answer, because you won’t. Mr. Obama is really “changing” sh*t alright….

But when you order a plate of Success, expect a side of Haters with your order, free of charge. It seems that all of Obama’s lime-light isn’t going unnoticed by John McCain supporters. According to The Project for Excellence in Journalism, Obama has received significantly more campaign coverage than McCain. CBS Senior Vice-President Paul Friedman says that McCain’s criticism of Obama’s pipe-dream Foreign Policy tactics and attempts to bring our troops home could be partly to blame. “McCain raised the stakes for Obama's trip, especially if he winds up going in to two war zones." Major news networks scrambled to make trips out of the country to cover Obama’s visits to Iraq and Kuwait, to name a few. No one took a trip with McCain on his recent out-of-country excursions. Someone needs to gently tell this man to throw in the towel. You know the elderly get frazzled easily.
