Obama has lost his mind.
Oy vey:Joss Stone is set to write and record a campaign song for US Democrat presidential hopeful Barack Obama.Barry, Barry, Barry, what are you doing to us? At least make us work to make fun of your campaign; at this point it's self-satirizing.
According to The Sun, Stone was asked personally by Obama to write and record the song, which will be the theme song for his election campaign.
Obama is said to favour Stone, a huge star in the USA (she is?! — Ed.), because she has appeal to both black and white US citizens.
The newspaper quotes an anonymous source as saying: "She [Stone] believes he (Obama) is going to be the first black president and she is honoured to be a part of that."
I'm surprised you even need a new theme song — I had thought the "Hallelujah chorus" was sufficient. Nevertheless, here are three quick reasons to back off this plan:
1) You can't keep surrounding yourself with dippy young celebutantes. Even if they're kinda hot.
2) Joss Stone is British. You couldn't find an American singer? Well, someone other than Luda.
3) She's a white female and associating her with your campaign is totally racist. Everyone knows that.
UPDATE: Hey morons, make yourself at home. Chips and salsa are on the table, drinks are in the fridge.

She's got that blonde bimbo celeb look - kind of like Paris and Britney.
Life imitating art?

A theme song by Joss Whedon could be really cool.

An "Our Man Jayne" kind of deal... that could work.

Look, the girl's politics are terrible, but don't crack on Stone as a "celebutante." If you took the time to find out, you would discover she has an excellent voice.
Hell, if I got worked up over an artist's politics, I'd have to throw away most of my movies and music.

I never criticized Stone's voice, talent or music (although her style definitely ain't my bag). My criticism was directed at Obama's political tin ear.
He was scandalized to be compared with Britney and Paris, so now he's hanging with another young, blonde, female celebrity? That's just foolhardy. Add to that the fact that Stone isn't even American, and The One is chest-deep in another unnecessary gaffe.

Huh? Is there a shortage of US singers (or at least Canadian)?
