SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS and ALICIA KEYS held an impromptu rally for U.S. presidential candidate BARACK OBAMA at the BET Awards on Tuesday (24Jun08) night.

Combs appeared on stage and chanted “Obama or Die” in a bid to boost the youth vote at the award ceremony, which was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

He told the crowd, “If we all register and vote, we will have the first black president in the history of America.”

And Keys also used her time on stage to encourage people to vote for the Democratic candidate. As she picked up her award for Best Female R+B Artist, she announced that black people should erase the word “can’t” from their vocabulary.

She told the crowd, “Together we can do anything,” before adding, “Obama y’all!”

…but is he the MAN (forget color here for a minute)for the job? What difference does it make if we elect a president because he is the desired color if he doesn’t know how to be a president? Obama is a wonderful speaker, but I don’t see the substance and experience behind all that great speaking. I question many issues, of both candidates actually, but truly wonder how Obama can vote FOR partial birth abortion? That is a murderous crime and seems like it should be a bigger issue. Voting FOR it shows something missing in this man that should be fundamental for a president. This is only one issue, I know, but shows the character of the man to me.
