Well that settles it!

Everyone is going to back Obama now because 50 cent changed his mind.

WHATEVER CNN!!

Who cares!

Why is this relevant?

I guess we cannot point out "why" he feels he has to switch???

That's it…. This is the deciding factor in my voiting!!

okay I'm an Obama supporter but I read this and had to say, Huh?
Is it a slow news day or something, CNN just trying to find things to keep the nomination process on the front page given we are looking at another 3 weeks before the next vote. Come on give me a break.

Great, another Obama supporter, but really, how is this serious news?

Obama 2008!

Yo Fifty–I'm down with it.

LOL, I don't know this young man, but if he has the courage to switch from Hillary to Barack, his mother should be proud.

Obama 08

Yeah, CNN! Keep slapping Hillary. Your headlines are terribly
biased.

Who cares 50! At least his speech got your peak, now tell the rest of your friends what a better candidate Obama is.

This guy who claims to be hard core is a poser. He should have supported Obama from the beginning. And because of a speach he had a religious experience and crossed over from the dark side? Well, it's better than Johnny comes lately than never at all. Good job 50.

hahaha

I'm an Obama supporter but

WHY IS THIS NEWS?

why do we report this. He can't even vote felony charge. LOL

Wow. What helpful, thoughtful, articulate remarks. Fiddy's comments have caused me to pause and carefully reevaluate what I think about everything in this Democratic race.

I love how this is news.

Does his opinion really matter?

It must be sloooowwww blue Monday…. Are you serious "do you" really believe this is a worthy news story… I would fire you for this…

This is why he is rapping and not running for any position in politics. And that's a good thing!

Jeez who wants this ignorant idiot's vote anyway, nothing but a thug wanna be, rightfully so he should stick with Obama. two peas in a pod.

How is this news? Though I am an Obama supporter, but I don't think this belongs to the ticker.

Was this petty news meant to mask the bigger story below about Obama's double-digit lead?

So he's "Obama to the end" in one sentence and immediately after he's lost his interest and doesn't even know if he'll vote?!? I guess we'll have to wait another four weeks for some real election news…

50 cents is what he is worth.

I'm an Obama supporter…but CNN please come on. The validity of his opnion can be summed up by his 2004 endorsement of G.W. Bush because he's "gangsta". I motion that we ban national coverage of celebrety endorsements (regardless of who they're endorsing), this is pretty…how can I say it, pretty dumb.

Is he trying to say Malcolm X and Obama are similar? I do agree. Keep in mind Malcolm X was a big racist who divided this country.

Um?

Who is next buggs bunny

Hey fiddy…….racism goes both ways buddy……belie-dat!

What the heck..is this news? I am sure Hillary is just so heart broken right now…LOL

i'm on obama supporter, but must say, i'd rather that we didnt report on what an idiot like 50 cent thinks, wasn't posted as news on CNN. for crying out loud, he's a thug who got rich and famous because he lived to rap about his gun shot wounds, who the hell cares what he thinks is the answer to our political questions.

we should avoid this kind of nonsense.

If this continues the Democratic party is going to make People Magazines sexist man of the year a superdelegate in 2012.

Hillary Clinton does not care about "50 Cents". If you don't have millions, you are not her friend.

You know, she would be more likable, but the time she spend in the battle in Vietnam, Bosnia and Iraq made her hard and bitter.

Who cares, his dirty music reminds me of obama's pastor. Hope he supports obama now. Wright preaches, obama gives speeches and 50 cent sings. There is your dream team.

Ah, and we listed to these ganster rap racial vulgar artists why? What has this country become other than reporters reporting on non news about people that make little to no change in the world of politics. I'm sure 50 cents voters are either in jail or dead on the street.

Welcome to the Obama support crew, Fiddy.

I think it's too bad that there are still people, both black & white, who think America's not ready for a black president. In my idealistic world, this country is ready for a LEADER - someone who can remove us from our current disastrous state and bring us back to being a respected and honorable (not to mention, awed) country. Seriously, who cares what the president's ethnicity is if he/she can regain the power, composure, and respect this country once had & rightfully deserves to have again.

Obama has it in him. Regardless of his race.

Being that most of his listeners are probably under the age of 18, this endorsement means nothing.

Hillary lost if for sure now.

sO!!!!

First he supports Hillary the neo Hitler, and now he switches to Obama?

I respect the hip-hop community alot, but Obama needs 50's endorsement like a hole in the head…

50 cent? 25 cent? who cares? Stick to that crap you call music.

oh golly.

Pink was right. What happened to the dream of a girl president, she's dancing in a video for 50 Cent. I dont know if Obama should be impressed or saddened.

Am I the only one who finds what "Fiddy" says is hilarious when typed out?

BREAKING NEWS!!!

. . . Fifty is entitled to his opinion and his vote.

Obama 08.

What kind of stupid article is this? 50 cent supports Obama. 50 cent doesn't really care about or follow the Democratic race any more. 50 cent gets lost in the issues.

Slow news day?

Congratulations 50 Cents I am a white woman, retired professional and I have been for Obamaman from Day 1………….We need the new. Hillary and Bill are expert con artists. Bill is out there everyday making "The Clintons" look good. This last statement that Bill made, "The Clintons are not used to losing" is a very egotistical, "votersowe them." remark. It is a all about winning Power, Money and Prestige. That's all!!!!! A liar is a liar is a liar. We got 2 liars!!!!!!!!!

People for McCain are Rich. People for Hillary will be voting for the
biggest con artist liars in History for President of the USA. Just what
we need is another liar for President.

I'm an Obama supporter but CNN, everytime someone chooses to endorse a candidate should NOT be breaking news. A slow day in the newsroom I see. Just wait, someone will say something stupid and you'll run that coverage for two weeks.

Yup! Obama gets the robot college crowd and all the people looking for their 15 minutes of fame. Who cares, he won't make the general election so you may as well keep dreaming. Just like he stole the Illinois election, he won't steal this one, no matter how much the media pushes him on us and how the DNC is strong arming others to fall in line behind Obama.

I can hear it now, Al Qaeda will be looping those tapes of Wright, GD America, …gave AIDS to the African Americans,,,, and Michelle Obama..America is mean! Get with the program.

Jonathan's right…with a flood of endorsements, a new double digit national lead and the "revelation" that Hillary basically cannot win at this point without killing the Democrats chances against McCain…distractions like this do nothing but harm political discourse and keep people's minds off of the fact that this race is not nearly as close as the media is casting it today.

Obama is going to pick up 7 to 9 delegates in the Texas caucuses. He's getting a new superdelegate endorsement seemingly every day. A win for Hillary is about as likely as coming back from 15 points down in the final minute of a basketball game.

Fifty percent No Longer Support,,, Obama.

Oppinions don't count Mr Lady…. You must have super Fast Feet..

To get around the way you say,, To Con the Average.Public…

Obama double digit lead is 2 days old. CNN report the facts. As of 3/30 it id 51 % vs 43% towards Obama.

Always the spinner.

Wake up people before it is to late!!!!

Shifting trend started and it will go until the general election in November.

GGGGGGG-G-UNIT

First hillary supporters say we want every vote to count well guess what he is voter and his opinion count for just as much as anyone else.

Ha…ha..ha…!!!. I found this is so funny and ridiculous!. That's why 50 cents is African-American and so is Obama!.

Once again, shame on Obama and Obama's people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

How clueless is he? I supported one, but now I support the other, but don't think I will vote because I have lost interest. Vote for Obama, but not because "half a dollar" with half a brain says to….

I'm sure Obama is thrilled!

Wow — what an incredibly lame "endorsement" coming from Mr. Cent.

I'm an Obama supporter too, and I am also a musician. I just have a much clearer view of things. To voice your support for Mr. Obama, vote for him in every election that you can. And send him some money. And tell all of your friends to support him as well. But don't say "I support Obama" and then, in the same breath, say "but I ain't gonna vote, and I don't think that he's going to win."

That kind of fatalism (or apathy) is dangerous. We need great change. Vote with your dollars, vote with your feet, and vote with your voice.

Boston, MA

Richardson NEW more about The Clintons than most people.
He did not owe them, he owed us the truth. That took courage.
Anyone that "expect to win" does not respect the American Voters
who are very, very Smart says Simon Cowell of voters.

AND THIS IS NEWS HOW???????

Why are you guys reporting what this spoiled celebrity has to say? I'm for Obama but COME NOW!

Does not matter to me who 50 votes for. What matters to me is, who I vote for and that, is Sen. Obama!

I don't think this is the image Obama is going for…

When 50 cent gets to be a dollar, let me know. Until then, he's small change, barely taxable.

I like 50 Cent but who cares about his opinion? Isn't he a felon? If so, then that means he can't vote anyway…LOL

50, get back in the studio and start working on another album. The last one was garbage!

Now can we get to the question on everyone's mind… who does Brittney Spears favor?

Oh no ..we do not need this dude…please stay with Clinton…please . please, please …..

BTW who cares !!

This just in. A group of homeless guys in front of Union Station have formally endorsed Obama citing his recent recent donation of 53 cents to a fellow homeless guy in Pittsburgh.

Come on CNN. I'm a huge Obama supporter but I'm pissed that I wasted 48 seconds skimming through this article. I can never get those 48 seconds back.

Who cares about 50 cent. Sorry, you must stay with your first pick, no switching allowed, unless you're a super-delegate.

Newsworth? Show us those taxes Hillary!

CNN I DO SUPPORT BARACK BUT DANG THIS IS NOT NEWS SO WHAT IF A RICH GANG BANGER SWITCH FROM HILLARY.
AND FOR ALL OF YOU IF BARACK LOSE THE NOM I WILL VOTE FOR HILLARY I HOPE YOU ALL DO THE SAME WE DON'T NEED MCWAR IN THE WHITE HOUSE SOMEONE THAT STAYS IF IT TAKE 100 YEARS TO WIN THE WAR THAT'S WHAT HE WILL DO

Kim, I wasn't going to comment on this article but I am so tired of mostly women calling Sen. Obama ignorant. Over half of the people who call this man ignorant, can't spell or put a sentence together. If you don't like the man it's okay, but don't call him ignorant because he is not. I am a woman and I have always spent more time with men because when women attack it is more vicious. They won't stop until they destroy you.

So it is not about Race. Give me a Break. It's all about Race or Gender with the Demorats. That is why they will lose in November.
Between Race, Gender and Age. I'll take age. Age means experience, knowledge and Wisdom. Something that Barak doesn't have and Hillary wishes she had. 50 cents will not get you a cup of coffee anywhere in the Country.

Oh for pity's sake, no one should care about this, no matter who he supported. I never understood why celebrity endorsements are a big deal, why we should think that actors and musicians are more politically savvy than ordinary Americans. CNN hits a new low.

With the decline of the US Dollar, he would now like to be called: 42 Cent

WHO CARES!

This guy is a fool. I support Obama, but if you're going to comment on politics like this guy is doing, at least be an informed voter.

Slow Monday. I mean, jolly good and all of that, but if I wasn't already in opposition to Clinton, 50 Cent changing sides isn't exactly going to convince me of a single thing.

50 cents or 10 cents….you are an idiot. All the money in the world and your thought process is vertical to a kindergardener! It is very clear that you lack some very elementary verbal skills. Leave the poilitical race to the other moranic news anchors to figure out.

Must be a tough news day……..Is this really news CNN?

Who cares!

If anything, 50's support of Obama could be hurful. Really….who wants a moron publicly backing them "getting his Malcolm X on"!?!

C'mon CNN. You are better than this.

GO OBAMA!

Geee i wonder if he is even registered to vote. I cant wait till the high and mighty fall in November. McCain will be smiling and Clinton will be glad it wasnt her that took the beating. I am a Clinton supporter but after this sexist rampage brought upon her I would never support Obama, therefore i will not vote at ALL.

Who is 50 pennies anyway?
I will vote for the whole dollar,
THAT IS HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!

Fiddy be one prescient dude.

This is proof that the nomination process has gone on too long.

Obama '08

KIM: You see that is what Senator Obama is attempting to STOP - making judgements of people you do not know nor do you understand. To call this rapper a "thug" and no good ……YOU ARE THE THUG AND NO GOOD as this is America and fortunately you and anyone else can voice their opinion, whether it is helpful or not.
So please, don't presume that you are so "high and mighty" Missy - you are the PROBLEM IN AMERICA - you have no desire obviously to be UNITED in this country just by your very negative and false statements just because he./she is a rapper.
POOR YOU KIM

Oh well ,, No big loss on Hillary's part… Couldn't you see this coming.
Black on Black once again… Big deal

Obama's talk on race will be taught in public schools 50 years from now along with King's sermons. WHAT A MESSAGE FROM THIS YOUNG MAN.

I'm not sure what his backing means to the party (NOT MUCH), but he has proven what Obama stated in his speech regarding the old timers; blacks have made advances but to believe that discrimination is over, would be naive!

White females have an easier time in getting high power jobs than blacks do. Hopefully we're closer to minimizing the color gap then ever before; this nomination will give us an indication.

Obama can have him.

Totally understand that there is still racism but boundries need to be broken. Obama is clearing the way for the highest office to be held in the USA. Will there ever be a time America will be ready for a black, brown, yellow and purple president? Lets start now.

But, no, this campaign isn't about race!

And this is relevant because????? C'mon CNN, you can do better news than this???? Trivial things will not make this nation great?

Enough with this phony endorsements, focus on the real issue? 50 Cents, as well as other Obama supporters are blinded by garbage rhetorics!

HILLARY will make a better case for this nation! The smart choice for us smart people!

is he a superdelagte…I think we are fishing for news now.

Obama '08

Um, has anyone pointed out his opinion does not matter? Why?… because he's a convicted felon! Convicted felons can't vote yo!

Please CNN, this article does not meet the smell test to even be a part of he political ticker. You never even mentioned that John Glenn endorsed Clinton and now you're noting a change of who, 50 cents, what?

OMG. Do I really care what this guy thinks? Does he have an education, any at all? Does he use drugs or alcohol? Does he degrade women in his videos? How many kids does he have and with how many women? The answers to these questions will tell me if his support is worth anything at all. I have a feeling that hes just another rapper raised in the hood and prone to violence who doesnt want to hold down a real job like most productive citizens do and just wants fast money with as little work as possible. yea I said it but everyone thunk it.

I find it interesting that we all (including myself) think that this story represents a sad, sad day in american journalism…yet, we all read it? Gripe all you want, this story, in all of its pathetic-ness, just gave us something to talking about. Maybe that was the point of the coverage, eh?

Who cares who 50 Cent supports………………he is an American citizen and if he is so unconcerned for his future and is not watching the political drama unfolding before his very own eyes, then again, who cares? I am so glad he is not a true representative of his age generation.

He can keep up with the latest dance and music but his brain won't allow him 15 minutes to absorb the politics of the day………………his grandparents in South Carolina must be astonished that he does not intend to vote………………..maybe you need to find out what it means to be poor again!

I strongly support Obama, but I'm at a loss to see why I should care what "Fiddy" has to say. From what little I've heard of his music–I use the term loosely–he doesn't seem like a particularly valuable commentator, and his comments in this story are muddled at best. Next story: "Some Guy at the Mall Supports Nader!"

Please CNN. Let's reserve the Politicalticker for real news! Everytime you guys appear above the rest in news coverage - You do something like this. I might as well start reading FOX news! Never fair and always unbalanced.

Obama 08

Someone needs to help explain HOW you can count (percentages) the votes in FL amd MI among: Hillary, Edwards (who was in the race at the time), and Obama. I wait to read your comments. Thank you.

Once again it proves that Obama is a black candidate.

To all the hillary supporters. When she does more than cough or sneeze and maybe get some endorsements, then it can be posted by cnn. Consider that Hillary has done NOTHING at all recently other than all her "mispeakings" there really hasn't been anything to post. Stop getting so offended by people posting THE TRUTH at a new site. Its not like cnn is fabricating the truth and changing it up. News is the news..its up to the reports to report it..and its up to the people to take it however they want.

This is beyond lame, seriously.

Forget 50 cents, this story is not relevent. One of the major problems with Obama's electibility is that he could not win the crucial big blue states and the swing states which the dem nominee would need to win in the general election. Maybe he'd win California, but he's going to have major problems with Ohio, PA, and even Florida which the Dem desparately need in order to win in November. Also, the reason he's ahead in delegates is because of winning mostly the caucuses. There will be no caucuses in the general election. That's why I think Obama is not going to win the election if he's nominated.

50 support obama!!ok!!!!so what?? who cares??please give me a break!come one CNN . i know ya can give better news !!!!

Who cares! What good is he if he might not even vote? That's NOT a good example.

Go'bama
you're gonna win this
we're gonna party 'cause you're gonna win this
change the country when you win this

This was weak journalism, however the piece on Hillary today loving the Rolling Stones was weak as well. Who cares!

Obama '08

Instead of reporting this, why not bring up the fact that Clinton's campaign manager made 200k working for a sub-prime loaning company.

Wouldn't that be a more interesting substantive story?

But isn't this typical of a lot of Obama supporters. They are not following the race, they just hear one speech and think the guy is god.

I wonder who Britney Spears endorses…

America, please vote for Clinton. Our family, at first was leaning for Obama, but NOT NOW. He appears to be 'star struck' and will say anything to be in the news. Not good. Do not be afraid to vote for a woman for our President. We have women lawyers, doctors, and the majority of teachers are women……who teach our children.

Please go for Hillary Clinton.

This is so silly. I'm an Obama supporter and I would like real news.

Please and Thank you.

Obama '08

If we all start to base our voting decisions on those of a person who is completely unable to speak the English language in an intelligible manner, and who doesn't know politics from popsicles, then we might as well kiss our nation goodbye.

WOW, I can't believe you people! NO, its "news" up-staged only by the discovery that the Earth is…oh yeah, ROUND! But give the guy a break already. I'm no fan of RAP, but I'll take this oppprtunity to soapbox a bit:
This is the first "interactive" election and we're shaming ourselves! Why all this rage, animus and bitterness? People, there is something VERY, VERY important going on and many of us are just using these blogs to offer "clever" snipes at one another and our candidates. In a very few months, the path and well-being of our country will be in the hands of one of these folks. All this "Jerry Springer Show" auditions should stop. We're hurting our election process, our parties and our dignity! The World is watching and we're behaving like children. Let's aspire to better. If we want change then WE have to take part in it! Let's start anew and really focus on the task at hand. Our founding fathers struggled to give us this opportunity. Its not a freak show!

Obama '08

50 is no kind of endorsement. Just because he says he likes Obama does not mean all black people now like Obama.

But he is right that there is a large percentage of America that does not want to see a Black president. He is not racist, he is just a black person calling it like he sees it.

This is not real news, but Hillary Clinton not paying close to 8 million dollars in debts, to blue collar workers and working americans, some of whom supported her and voted for her, IS news!!! If Hillary can not manage a campaign budget how is she going to handle a National budget. If she is stiffing hard working americans now, what is she going to do in Office?? Report on this CNN, get on your game!!

This is sad on so many levels. As previously mentioned, how in the name of god is this news? This is a deplorable human being, and his "support" should be viewed as a negative if anything lol. Just go ahead and re-direct "Cnn.com" to "barackobama.com" as that's where this site already is pretty much. Such bias…

Aren't you people all the same pretend to support hillary then turn around and support your own black

People like you are hippos

I am sure he was pressured to this.

Wow… even 50 cent saw the light and good for him. There is still hope for the rest Hillary's supporters to get on the winning side… if they would for a minute open their eyes and ears and hearts and see beyond Obama's colours which are both black and white, but above all brilliant.

LOL! This is funny.. hopefully 50 really involves himself in politics.. he could have a lot of influence on the people who really follow him.

OBAMA 08!

I'M A DEMOCRAT BUT IF HILLARY WILL NOT GET THE NOMINATION, I WILL VOTE MCCAIN. I CAN'T POSSIBLY VOTE FOR SOMEONE INTELLIGENT YET BORROWING WORDS AND IDEAS FROM SOMEONE ELSE. YEAH… JUST WORDS….AND I DON'T BELIEVE OBAMA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AT THEIR CHURCH.
KEEP DEMORALIZING HILLARY AND MCCAIN WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER. I WOULD RATHER VOTE MCCAIN THAN OBAMA DUE TO THE FACT THAT HIS RESUME IS MUCH MORE WORTH IT.

I HOPE YOU AT CNN WILL POST THIS SINCE YOU LOVE OBAMA TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT!

Some endorsements are better served unmentioned. This guy is not news worthy.

Keep the change next time CNN.

Celebrity endorsements…yawwwwwnnnnn.

Exactly, 50 cents is what he is worth for. Can never be even $1.00! Not surprise if he joined his club so late.

Way to go Ozone. You are so right. Who really cares? He probably can't vote anyway.

GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an idiot. And what a failure! He's in a position to be such a role model for Black youths but he dropped the ball…talking about "he's lost interest". Way to go, stoopmo!! If you can't say anything that makes any sense, then keep your mouth shut.

I see, so because Obama reminds him of Malcolm X, now he is for him?????

That's great another flip-flopper. Traitor. Vote Hillary 08!

who cares.

Since this is a PRIMARY for a NATIONAL ELECTION, why does each state have the right to set the date for voting. As with the GENERAL ELECTION which is set as the first Tuesday in November "NATIONALLY", why are the individual states allowed to set their own dates for the PRIMARIES. This has created more havoc or at least as much as the George W. Bush Presidency.

WHO CARES!!! (mind you, I am an Obama supporter), but I will not be bragging about this "endorsement"

I do not care for someone who raps about money, cars, and hoes
(and I am African America, but I am for people who uplift others, and bring positivity to the neighborhood, but NOT 50…..YES TO OBAMA, NO TO 50 CENT!!!!)

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!

Benny
I don't know who you support…but that was a Good One! LOL

Dont ask Fiddy

I hope he will support Mc Cain after November

It surprises me that people think it's ok to just "lose interest" in our countries presidential election. I wonder how many people that are paying attention have noticed that our votes don't actually count at all. It doesn't matter at all that Clinton or Obama won in what state. (The delegates and Super delegates can switch sides at will between Obama and Clinton) Our votes really don't count at all.
And back to the part of how Some people think it's ok to " lose interest", How can you hear someone speak 1 time and feel you know that person enough to support them in our presidential office? (and I don't care if it is Clinton, Obama, or McCain… People need to research things before they make huge decisions like this. But to say "I've lost interest" truly shocks me because without the people in this country of ours that you enjoy so much, You wouldn't be Worth .50 cents without them. Wake up and take an interest in your country people!

I would hope this fake buster would shut up and drink some vitamin water.

Wasn't he the one who liked Bush cause he was aka "Gangster" like 50….lol…this silly man!

Yes he switched his vote to Obama–but he also said he was not going to vote!!

Must be a verrrrrrrrrrry slow news day–or the only negative thing you can dig up on Hillary Clinton

Who is this Guy?

Cool CNN. Now, what about the Wayen's Brother's? Where do they stand?

Obama08!

Are you guys kidding? After reading his reasons why he now supports Obama, is Curtis, aka 50 cenrt, Jackson's support for either democratic candidate relevant news or just comic relief for CNN?

Can anyone translate?

Ok just kidding. But what kind of "news" is this he admitted he won't be voting.

"…I swear to God, I'm like, 'Yo, Obama!' …I'm Obama to the end now, baby!"

Believe it or not, this is why Obama has been doing so well. He's got some truly uninformed supporters who are attracted to him the way a young person is attracted to a rapper or rock star. Unfortunately, no matter how may celebrities that come out, it won't outnumber the amout of blue-collar and senior citizen voters that Hillary will take.

Two peas in a pod? I would love to hear the details on how Obama is a thug. What, did he bang with the bloods growing up in Hawaii? Maybe he was a rollin 60 crip back at Harvard. Seriously, are you bitter, an idiot, or racist?

Oh my god! I just lost 2 minutes of my life that I will never get back reading this non-news!

Obama '08

CNN, this is not news! I don't care what 50 Cent is doing/voting for!!!!

I am a Democrat and for Berry Obama followers to say I don't deserve to vote because I will not vote for Berry Obama if he should get the nomination, are the ones that need to get a reality check. McCain is not my choice but I will do nothing to help Berry Obama get in the White House. This is the First time I have been totally against someone. So if Berry is nominated I will vote for McCain to save the United States from total destruction he would bring.

This is news?

Who gives a crap about what 50 Cent thinks? Why CNN thought his opinions as newsworthy is beyond me. And I am a loyal Obama supporter anyway

hmm, Obama's constituency, it fugures! I am waiting for all African Americans to turn their backs on Hillary.

Go Hillary 2008

Why?

Why is this political news?
Why even post this?
Why would you care who 50 supports?
Why does 50's opinion matter when he's a convicted felon who can't vote?
Why not dedicate more coverage to Obama's double digit lead amidst the Wright controversy?

I'm a true hip-hop fan to the core. I also love politics, but in this case 50's opinon means nothing. CNN, please go find some real news.

Obama '08

Actually Eric, Malcolm X was NOT a racist. He changed his views after converting to real Islam, not the Nation of Islam. Youtube the speech he gave after coming back from Mecca, he acknowledges his mistakes.

In regards to 50, he is a moron. Why don't you concentrate on getting rid of your filthy, offensive lyrics, then talk about who you're going to vote for!! This is coming from a young woman who listens to rap with a message.

Well, that settles it. If 50 is backing OB, I will drop from the race.

Aw Man, Go back to supporting Hillary 50, PLEASE!

And CNN, you really have NOTHING better or more relevant to report?

FANTABALOUUUUUUUSSSSSSS, ANOTHER OBAMA SUPPORTER !

This just tells you that the choice between Obama and Clinton is a race thing. While whites are becoming non-racial, the blacks are not.

Obama’s Story About Dad’s Kennedy Link is ‘Confused'. Another lie? Not from Obama! Really? He got 1961 confused with 1965? Did he misspeak?

Because 50 Cent's political prowess is force to be reckoned with…
Next it will be who Lindsay Lohan is, like, totally gonna vote for.

HE DOESN'TH WORTH A SINLE PENNY

Wow! What an endorsement? Is this kind of "stupidity" news?
Please…maybe he needs 25 cents. LOL

did anyone read WHY he switched. Because of the speach about racism. Again race is shoved down all of our throats this election. Enough, it's not going to stop. Obama's people brought it up and that is why they cheated, they pressure blacks to vote black to get changes for you,. heck with the white folk, they don't matter, just us. As far as the caucus's go, boy were they rigged. Just check with some of the Clinton people who went, especially if they were black. It's always been about race as far as Obama's camp is concerned, they used it in the beginning to get him the votes then. I hope people see him for what he is until we see diffferently in time. Time will tell.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

LOL!

WOw…that is the funniest thing I've heard all day! :o)

I'm not suprised –
Go Hillary !!!

I didn't even know "Fiddy" still existed. His last CD stunk and he owes me $13.95. I'm for Obama but how is this news and shouldn't we be wondering why Hillary can's pay her bills. I mean wasn't her team staying at the Ritz. you would think they would have put some money away for her Bills.

I'm an Obama supporter. I don't get how this at all matters to ANYONE? If anyone is voting for a candidate based on who 50 cent supports, this country is going down the drain.

I'm like, who cares, like.

Why won't he vote? Because "America's not ready for a black president" or because he has "lost interest" . That part of his interview is just sad, that someone so privileged can't take the time to vote. I am an Obama supporter, and I hope he will educate himself about his duty as an American. We have a chance to elect a great president this year, Barack Obama.

Not sure how important this particular endorsement is for Obama - and not sure how newsworthy it is…Come on CNN, you can do better than this, yes?

Why is this news

i just decided to turn black,,,, that was the most inspiring statement , sermo n i have listened, read,or seen on tv radio, internet,,, 50 cent,, thank you so much,,,,,, again, thank you from the bottom of my soon to turn black heart,,, oh , btw,, thanks for the news cnn,,, here in wonderland ,, we are never amazed by the news you present,,,, greg in pinehurst nc

Brother, please go back to the candy shop. This is serious business Mr. Fiddy (sense-less). CNN please! No more rappers on 'roids!!

They are switching to Obama one at a time.

50 IS A HAS BEEN ANYWAY GOOD RIDDANCE GO WITH YOUR FAMILY, THATS HOW YOU PEOPLE ARE AND IM PUERTO RICAN AND WE ARE LOYAL AND IM WITH AND WILL BE FOR CLINTON…………..

So what…big deal…

The Clinton Kool-Aid must be wearing off people are coming to their senses.

coming from a sexist homophobic person it is good news…we don't need people like that on Hillary's side

Fiddy has a vote, and he is a public figure as a celebrity, so he gets to announce his vote publicly. Celebs need face time to reach more customers, so they make public statements about their votes to buzz up their fans. Watch real soon for an endorsement from Joan Rivers!

I do hope that hat and jacket is just for show. Because the man can mangle the english language–dangerus mos def!!

What a guy.

This is just one person's opinion, not the rest of the nation. I don't know, sounds like a story more for Entertainment Tonight than a CNN news exclusive.

he cannot even vote with all the felony he has

yes, yes…but how is Vanilla Ice voting this primary season?

If Obama wins the Primary and is utlimately sitting in the White House, I feel sorry for those who stood up for him when they find out that his sermons don't mean anything and that he won't be standing up for him in the end!!!! His comment about Hillary "she can run as long as she wants" was arrogant on his part. That tone should tell you people something about him. AND….he would leave the church if Rev. Wright didn't step down! BULL……..he was there for twenty years and he is telling total untruths if he continues to say he hadn't heard that type of sermon before. Shoot……his wife admitted that "for the first time she was proud to me an American" No wonder she said that. And Obama is who you want for your President. You better think people or you will get what you didn't want!!!!!

HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY!!!!

Celebrities are the monsters we create - trying to silence or ignore them would be like covering up our shadows with a bed sheet.

I'll tell you why this is news.
I was looking at Google news. I had a page with dozens if not hundreds of links, and I choose this story. It stole a click from a lot of competition, therefore I would say it's news.

Why did I click? Becasue as an Obama supporter I am interested in why so many people seem to be endorsing him or switching their endorsement to him, so why not look into 50 cent's change of heart?
Apparently, the change came after 50cents heard him speak. That's good news indeed.

Man, you know it's bad when the G-unit "Ain't got yo' back" no more.

This is truly the sign that I was looking for,… NOT.

Is the political news really that slow today???

Thanks to 50 cents… he just gave us another reason not to vote for Obama. This whole Obama movement is a all Hype and no substance!

Who is 50 cent? I did notice from the picture he went to Harvard and managed to keep his cap from tilting to either side.

I agree with All For Fairness. Read what he or she wrote and if you don't agree with he or she and I well then you are biased.

Go Future President Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And if she's not the nominee, Go Future Governor (of NY) Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hasnt anyone figured out how corrupt the liberal media is? There whole goal was to take out Bill and Hillary Clinton.

50 cent….learn how to speak man. I am for Obama all the way! Um, just kidding, don't ask fiddy….too much crunk juice– get back in the club

Well with 50 cents swapping his support, but not his vote, cause he don't know nothing…I am not sure if this is good for Obama or good for Hillary…..but it has got to be bad for whoever wrote this story.

Now if it was Akon or Eminem, then that would be big news!

Well this is a completely irrelevant news item.

Talk about Racist!! The only reason 50 Cent and that Legislator Lewis switched sides is because they are Black. Give me a BREAK!!

I first thought, "Why should I care what 'Fiddy' has to say?!", but…

If artists, especially those in the hip-hop industry, made their politics and political allegiances better known maybe they'd get more respect. Rap is the #1 most bought music in the country - in the world - and these artists have the cache to get millions of young voters who feel a disinterest for the political landscape to actually get out there and make a noise- or at least go to the polls in November.

Disinterest is almost the entire reason why Republicans ever win.

Why does the opinion of a thug gangster even matter!

Good for Clinton.
oh 'fiddy'… no ones cares what you think!
LOL! 'fiddy'…? OMG! LMAO!

Hey, at least this is proof that some black people supported Hillary way before they supported Obama. BUIt seriously doesnt 50 cent have anything better to do? If i was worth hmmm…. 200 million bucks i wouldnt care who becomes the next president.

You people are missing the point here. This is news because of the way Obama's speech on race changed someone's mind into switching sides. Like Bill Richardson, 50 Cent was emotionally moved. Obama's messages of hope and change is powerful and people are really starting to get inspired. Sorry Hillary….Game over.

SO WHAT!!!!

Who cares! He sounds like an idiot making comments that DO NOT make sense. My goodness CNN…

50 cent do you think you could have got her to release her tax returns.

You done the right thing. The Clinton's are acting rather shady they have a lot of secrets what are they trying to hide?

Hillary supporters, don't u get it….she cannot catch up with Obama. she is still running because she has noth9ing better to do…
u all might as well back the winner, why stick with the loser?
this just does not make any sense.

This has got to be the most innane segment EVER!

What the heck were you producers/editors thinking putting this virtually unreadable garbage on here.

You may as well go quiz the Olson twins on on their political views given the lack of intellectual commentary and mental faculty displayed here.

Oh, what a high-profile endorsement! 50 cent!

Tomorrw's headline:

Huge endorsement for Barack Obama from Britney Spears' sister's boyfriend

How incredibly short-sighted you all are.

Believe it or not 50 Cent appeals to a diverse, albeit small, group of young individuals who struggle to find their place between youth culture and the more adult political world that continuously tells them they can't make a difference. 50 Cent isn't claiming to be a political afficionado or that his opinion even matters. He DOES, however, appeal to the persepctive of a large undervalued group of urban AND suburban youth who are unimpressed by the "adults" around them and CNN is completely in the right for reporting that perception represented by 50 Cent.

Quit your whining. Its 32 bytes of information that you could have skipped over.

I am both a Hip Hop fan and an Obama fan but I'd rather not waist a degree in journalism on entertaining a joke. Some people should study, meditate, decide, and stick to it. He makes himself seem ignorant. If he can make all of that money from sugar water than America is ready for any shadge of President!

No, I don't care what 50cents thinks or endorses. He is street smart with his music and business, but he doesn't sway me to either candidate in anyway whatsoever. I like his music and G-Unit clothes. That's it! Beyond that, I think he is shallow in understanding the issues this country faces. I am way beyond race. This is about our country as whole,,, race will only be a factor in shallow minds like his. I like Obama because of what he is planning to do for this country and redeem it on the world stage and domestically unite us to move forward.

Yes! Obama 2008

But…. 50…Have U changed ur mind and now you're going to Harvard…..? That picture sends the wrong message…LOL

Oh what, you couldn't find a homeless crack "Ho" with a Jerry Springer crush for an in depth political analysis of the Democratic election process? We're DOOMED I tell ya!

Oh, and to help in your research that our votes don't really count, check out the article here on Cnn titled : Pledged delegates up for grabs

Clinton says Story Highlights
Sen. Clinton, again, says pledged delegates are not bound to election results

Clinton: 'Every delegate … is free to make up his or her mind however they choose'

Democratic strategist says the timing of the comments is no accident

Among pledged delegates, Obama leads Clinton 1,413 to 1,242

That makes three of us Eric. My question is: what is Fiddy spiking his Vitamin Water with?

Please "Fiddy", just don't speak in public anymore, at least not on Barack's behalf. Thanks for the support, but do it undercover, I know you can do that right?

Yes We Can!!!

Obama '08

Not so sure I'd put this on the positive side of the column for Obama.

I guess race is still playing a role in this election. Once again, Obama manipulation is working. Well his nice speeches and charm is going to bring me over to the dark side.

Now that is more like it. Is this good or bad news for Yo Obama!

So 'Fiddy cense' supports Yo Obama but willnot vote? What a crock?

This makes me want to NOT support Obama.

Now that we have heard from "50 cents", we need to give equal opportunity to "One Dollar." CNN must be getting pretty desparate…..

oh!!! 50 cent!!!! another richardson!!!!
black man were allowed to vote first than women, so…..

VOTING FOR SENATOR CLINTON MEANS NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOUR
SORRY!

Obama lies just as much and is a typical Chicago politician.

Look at his Kennedy family ties with his father in his sppech. This is the biggest whopper I have ever heard.

OH NO!!!

that does it…i guess Hillary will have to quit now!

Who can actually think that his endorsement meant anything in the first place?

GOOD GRIEF!

50….you watched or listend to Obama but you did not here the man. Blacks, whites, browns are ready to vote for Obama. do not stand by. You must be kinningme when you said you may not even vote ….please…get real.

Prop up the American voter's backbone and quit with the lame reporting.

Is 50 a superdelegate?

Who cares what this idiot thinks. I'm an Obama supporter because of what he stands for and his position on the issues. This guy is ignorant! da…da…da…
