50 Cent Pseudo-Endorses Clinton

Hannah Geyer

With all these added celebrity endorsements surfacing in the past few hours, I think it's sure worth taking a look at what's being said.

For instance, rapper 50 Cent supported Senator Clinton in Rap Up magazine last year, suggesting that it would be nice to have her be president because not only would she do a good job, it would be "a way for us to have Bill Clinton be president again."

Uh, yuck? How about we just base our votes on the merit of the individual running, instead of voting for the woman candidate so we can get her husband back in the White House? I'm quite sure that Senator Clinton is an intelligent woman, perfectly capable of being in the White House on her own talent and ability, and not "Oh, we'll take her if we can get her husband, too."

On Monday, Bill O'Reilly (I know, I know) showed footage of 50 Cent adding that he has nothing against Barack Obama but doesn't think that America is "ready" for a black president, remarking "I think they might kill him."

So it really does come down to race and gender, huh? Nice to know we care about the issues, people.
