Ludacris isn't running for president, it was a lighthearted joke.

I think the point of this article was to shed light on his foundation. He's one of the few rappers who's trying to make a positive difference in his community and is showing that not all rappers are thugs like the majority of Americans think they are.

He's as qualified as Sarah Palin, and probably as entertaining.

OK! I'm done laughing... He can't be serious can he? What a fool...but if Palin can run I guess anyone can do it! Still laughing at him and Palin foolishness....

OK – I had my belly laugh for today!

HAHA yea ok!

JANE/SEATTLE.......where can I get some of what you're smoking??????

His name says it all

I like the msgs on here. Here's the right solution let's everyone judge and find EVERYTHING stupid that you dont agree w/, and see if you can just 'will' things to not happen.

...if he feels he's good enough and has the right credentials to run, he should. Actors have run, why not a rapper/actor... I dont think it's for him, but he should run if he can... he's made it THIS far.

All those w/ b/s comments - have y'all come from $10-15/hr to multi-million dollar fame/success? hmm... nope... guess you should shut up then.

Kermit the Frog for President!

lmao

Are you kidding, he wants to run for President? Is America being Punk'd?

Dear CNN –
Please stop reporting on this garbage. Your uninsightful journalism lends undeserved publicity to those who dont need it.

L for Ludacris

L for Limbaugh

L for Loud

Ludacris is a complete moron. He is an obnoxious person who uses foul lyrics and such coarse language. He belong in a jail, not the white house.

You all are missing the point. It is a common, and one that political action groups use frequently, to take extreme positions, or support extreme candidates, in order to shore up the centrist credentials of another candidate or incumbent.

In short, by running Ludacris, some far left dems hope to make Obama appear centrist, and prevent the center and right from pushing Obama into that sphere.

But this is the work of amateurs: Ludacris as a candidate is ludicrous, and I have a hard time buying that a party that so masterfully manipulated the media and public opinion (helps that MSM and Hollywood work for them), is behind this.

Sorry, but my woman, Hillary, will trump him out of the race.

All I can say, is that Rush Limbaugh and Glenn becks heads may collectively explode if they find Ludacris with higher numbers than any Republican candidate...Of course I doubt anyone would take Ludacris seriously....no more than Sarah Palin...what a joke

Ludacris is more lucid than Obama. He would have my vote in any democratic primary.

rapper against a joke, rapper will win. Obama LIES

and how Ludicris is that!

He now qualifies for a rhyming adjective – LUDICROUS LUDACRIS.
Great title for his next album.

Ludiscrous meaning laughable or hilarious because of obvious absurdity. Obvious Absurdity being his belief that he could be President. Not even when pigs fly.

LOL – this country is friggin' stupid enough to vote for him, too!

Why not........Your as qualified as Sarah Palin

I think that we need more independent and alternative candidates. President Obama is not listening to us. If Ludicris has a new point of view or thinks that he can do better, then I'm happy to listen to him with an open mind. My feeling is that we can't fix this problem until we get every single adult working and paying some taxes. Currently less than 50% of our citizens work, less than 40% of our citizens pay any federal income tax at all! A country cannot succeed this way. Everyone work, everyone pays some taxes, rich pay more than poor...it's not that complicated. Even Ludicrus can do it.

Now this is funny, I don't care who you are! He would do a better job than the one we have now.

That idea my dear, IS LUDACRIS!

What a joke. You whites will find anything to amuze yourselves with. Now you know this man does not have chinaman chance in hell to run for anything other than rap. This isn't even worth talking about. Some things just should not be a conversation and just let it go.

Ludacris: You ain't got a prayer!

Ludacris should be on the same ticket as Palin, they'd make a perfect pair, ludacris.

Well he is about as ready as Palin will be in 2012...

Take all the MONEY and Burn it. Then get food, shelter, healthcare, clothes, shoes, dental care, coats for everyone on Earht because we are following the teachings of the gods we speak about. Than we work to get the Bio-Regional Systems back in sync. We divest of all killing products like GMO's, (Monsanto), WMD's (A bunch), Big Pharmas, Diagnostics Keeps on Profitting Program and a bunch more. NO MO FISHING by Computers as the Oceans are dying. No MO Chemicals into the Soil as we are being killed and Cancered to DEATH! Down with WAR, UP With People/Animals. Let US ALL CREATE SOME PEACE, FREEOOM, Goodwill toward men, and all the rest of these things we all seek, but run like the Wind from. FEAR Is about to be our undoing OR we can get it right for a huge massive CHANGE we can believe in. This here Capitalism stuff is the ruination of this world if we don't all get on the same page and end this selfish greed, coveting, and all thee other deadly habits we worship unto our own deaths. Divest of the ugly weed, Tobacco. Divest of the Nasty killing of our master plants-Trees. HEMP can make all the paper and cloths we need and more durable, too. We could start walking and just stay home more as Capitalism is falling by it's own hand anyway. Rich screw up and get assisted! Hmmm? Others never get a piece and they get sold a bill of goods and have to pay for it all. Talk about Madoff. He has nothing on this Corporatocracy and their endless legalized Ponzi Scheme! Congress, just go home. Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich, Me, Michael Moore, The Nation, HuffPO, Thom Hartmann and the Progressive Radio Crew, Ed, Steph and all the rest. We got this Obama if you'd just all step aside and let us lead you. Stop this FREE Market Capitalism as it coss too much. It is WRONG for this world. Just look at what it is doing to our HOME! Peace

Oh for the love of....

Not necessary – there will already be a slate of ludicrous opponents when the republicans delcare their candidates.

Luudaa for president!! lol

Oh please...what about me. I want to run for President too. Who cares?

really??

Watch out Obama, many of the blacks will relate with this rapper and VOTE for him just because he MAY BE more black than you!

COME ON NOW!!!! Stop trying to undermine what a great man President Obama is!!!!! Just because he is the first African American president – don't think you could be the NEXT!!! NO way NO how NO shape NO form – stick to your music and any company you may own as being the founder and PRESIDENT of!!! JEEZ – stupidity running AMUCK!!!

Stick wit rappin Luda...you're good at that...

sheesh ... some people really ARE rediculous.

Ludacris is Ludacrious.

Three years and a gangsta rapper. Little premature to think this guy has even the remotest chance.

Ludacris for President is just .......... LUDACROUS!!!

He couldn't be any worse.

Since president Bush ascendence to power, many believe this thing is a joke. Good luck with that my friend!

Lotsa black people mentioned in this article. I look forward to an exceptionally acerbic batch of posts from GOPers.
