Sanford Shot Down

Yo...this be the realest shit you'll ever quote.

My president is black, my Lambo’s blue.
The economy is red, and he ain’t got a clue.
Got a white hustler, failing the Treasury.
Meanwhile Obama is vacationing leisurely.

Buying rocks for his baby-mama,
Dropping some dough.
While the world’s got drama,
He’s sipping Bordeaux.

Sanfrod spittin’ straight dope,
Trying to get through.
But how can we have hope
When there’s only one world-view?

Change you can believe in?
Why the rhetoric so thick then?
And if discourse is a sin,
Is it Democracy we're in?

Sanford last week wrote Obama and asked for a waiver that would let the state pay down debt during the next two years with $700 million instead of using it to create jobs and avoid deep program cuts.
The Obama administration has rejected South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's request.
The DNC is airing an ad in South Carolina that says Sanford is putting politics ahead of health care, jobs and schools by trying to turn down part of the federal stimulus money.
The governor said in a statement it was "disturbing" the ad was launched before the White House had responded. Sanford said the ad is at odds with Obama's campaign promises of ending politics as usual.
"It's in that spirit that I'd respectfully ask him to end this ad, as it shatters the idea of change he so well articulated this fall — and to ask his Democratic National Committee to put an end to this mudslinging and get back to an honest debate about the future of our country," Sanford said.
But the future of that money may not even be for Sanford to decide. Last week, state Sen. Hugh Leatherman, a Republican, introduced a resolution that would allow the state legislators to spend the cash despite Sanford's opposition.
