P. Diddy On John McCain, States he is “Buggin’ the F**k Out”





I was searching through political relevant videos as I always do in the morning,when suddenly i came across one that read"John McCain is Bugging The F*** Out" by Sean P Diddy Combs. now usually I wouldn't really take a look at such a video, but I though that maybe just maybe he would have some solid analysis. So i watched it and this is my take on it.


The video started off with Diddy criticizing John McCain VP pick of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska.he kept repeating McCain is bugging the F*** out for the first few minutes. The content that followed this was, well how can i put it? I felt dumber for watching it . Diddy went on and on about nonsense for a bit. When the video came across the midway point, I was met with a true prize of all political opinions. Diddy stated "What is the reality in Alaska? There’s not even no crack heads in Alaska. There’s not even no black people? There’s not even like no…crime?


Now what would an average reader take from that statement? Is Diddy insisting that to have crime, crack, or reality the state must contain African Americans? Well Diddy I am not an African American but its truly sad when you make a statement like that. One that could effect the people that look up to you. Considering you are a big named celebrity, you should put a little more thought and merit in what you have to say before you go blabbing a slew of empty thoughts. Yes we are all entitled to our opinion, but when you put yours out there on video for people to watch, you should really use your celeb prowess to influence people with some kind of educated opinion.



These kind of posts from big named celebs in our country can have a significant impact on voters, especially young voters whom follow Diddy as a role model. What kind of content is he giving young voters to go off of? Let's all base our voting off whether crack,crime, and specific races are present where our leaders might come from. Let us tell everyone that might not have a mixed race community not to vote for Barack Obama. Now if I said that a lot of voters would probably say I am an idiot right?



I am not saying whom to vote for. I just think that the voters deserve some real reasons to vote either way. I will admit Diddy has done some good with the young voters in the past, and I do appreciate it. But instead of taking steps forward to influence and keep voters educated, he took ten steps back.

The right Choice?


John McCain stuffed a foot in his mouth?That is what I thought when he made a baffling choice for his VP pick. Someone once said that "Barack Obama was too inexperienced for the White House".


After listening to the reports of his choice, I thought to myself. Why would someone throw shots using the lack of experience route? I mean come on. Would that not kind of throw any hope of him using that same method in the ladder? I personally don't think this method is going to pay off in the long run. Sure it might get a bit of hype now, but its also gaining lots of criticism.

I think that this choice was made with little thought and more desperation. I am not saying he is going to lose for sure. But this move probably hurt more than helped.


In my opinion, this choice was made for a few reasons. 1, is to scrape up whatever Clinton voters he can. 2, to create a sense of shock. 3, She held the position of Ethics Commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. 4, to bring a sense of youth along with him. 5 She is pretty strong ethically it seams. Now lets talk about these reasons a bit.


I don't think that electing a female for VP is going to seal the deal on the Clinton voters fully. It may help some but not enough. I think people will think of this as a desperate move, making it look like he has no other way to grab their attention. The shock affect is in my opinion a move to generate hype and media buzz hoping to inch forward in the polls and sway more people to fall in line. She held a solid position that requires a vast knowledge and an ethic regard to the oil industry. This is a solid reason to choose her due to our current crisis. She isn't that old, so that kind of brings the youth within the campaign which could help. She seems very anti government corruption so that's a strong point also. Even though that should come with any candidate. One bad note that I stumbled upon as of late, is that she is bringing baggage. Palin is being investigated on a choice she made of firing one of her employees wrongfully.


With all this being said. What we have is a mediocre choice at best. She is getting solid critics on her inexperience to her having 5 kids. We will have to see of course how this all turns out. In the end i think it will be a close race. But, i think that McCain kind of killed any hopes of thunder with his VP he could have had. Thats just the way I see it.
