if I were an African American, I think I'd start praying that Sean Combs never opened his mouth about "black issues" again. This just continues to make me laugh more every time I see it.
I'm still on the fence about who I'll vote for, but trust me Obama... P.Diddy isn't doing you any favors.
And as someone who lived in Alaska, I'm officially offended :)
Select portions:
"“John you are bugging the **** out. I don’t even understand what planet you’re on right now. This is the job to be the leader of the free world. Okay? No disrespect, I love ya, I want you to live to be 110, but things happen! What if, God forbid, you got a running mate, you become President... Alaska? ALASKA? ALASKA? ALASKA? Come on, man. I don’t even know if there's any black people in Alaska. John, like, come on. Sarah Pah..?
...
What in the hell? ALASKA?
You should have got Michelle Obama to be your running mate. Now THAT would have been something strategic and fly. This one right here? Is not respectful to our lives... diverse lives...
Alaska? Where is the reality in...? There's not even no crackheads in Alaska. There's not even... No black people. There's not even...Crime?
We the future.”
Yeah.
Here's the video. WARNING: It's the uncensored version. (If someone can find a "bleeped" version of this, let me know- I'd much, much rather post that.)
What did you expect from P.Puff.Diddy.Daddy Combs? Thankfully no one takes him serious.

What did I expect? Coherence! :) But... yes, at the end of the day, he is just a musician speaking about politics. Luckily, that's almost always entertaining :)

I'd love to see if he can make good on his "threat" to get young people out to the polls and voting. That would be cool.
The video, however, had me in tears of laughter ... once I got past the motion-sickness!! What a howl.

wait. you still don't know who to vote for? Oh dear lord, we need to stop talking about God and start talking politics. Is this where you've been going for your news?

South Park, however, had the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douche_and_Turd>ultimate answer to the "Vote or Die" campaign.

He is high as a kite in that video.
