Nas thinks George W. Bush should offer More Support to President Obama

Nasty Nas is not done airing out the GOP. After their negative reaction to Common being invited to the White House, Nas spoke out in defense. Nas ended up calling out Fox News, saying the conservative network was actually afraid of black people and the hip hop movement.

Throughout his first three years in office, President Obama has been fighting an uphill battle. While his innovative ideas are what got him elected, the resistance from Congress is what may cost him a chance at a second term. Things turned around for Obama when he captured terrorist, Osama Bin Laden.

During his time as president, Republican George W. Bush promised he would capture Bin Laden. When he ended his presidency, with all-time lows, Bush left with little to say to the public. In the years Obama has been president, the media has heard very little from the former president. Nas would like for all of this to change.

The Queens rapper feels America should be seeing more of George W. Bush. Nas said Bush should be standing right beside President Obama and talking to the people he was once "leading." It is almost like someone who got away with something and does not want to show his face now, according to Nas. He thinks Bush should come back to the spotlight, only for a little while, to address the Bin Laden situation, for the people.

Osama Bin Laden dead on President Obama's orders

By Hip Hop Vibe Staff

A few hours ago, history was made when Osama Bin Laden was captured and killed. For well over twenty years, Bin Laden has been plotting against the United States. An international crime lord, he was responsible for the attacks on US soil on September 11, 2001.

The threat of Osama Bin Laden and terrorism dominated the news headlines during George W. Bush's time as president. Many feel the Bush administration used this to their advantage. On Bush's watch, the economy hit lows not seen since The Great Depression. While the economy fell apart, Bush had America focused on Bin Laden.

Barack Obama was elected president in 2008 and has had a rough time since being in office. Every move he makes seems to have a negative impact on him. Supporters of President Obama have said he needs to make a power move. Obama did this in the midst of controversy with Donald Trump.

While America has been focused on Trump's next comment and the Royal Wedding, President Obama was conducting business. Osama Bin Laden was found in his mansion when the president gave the CIA the order to kill him. Not only did President Obama make a power move, he has managed to make history in his first term as president. Following Bin Laden's death, President Obama took to the media to inform them of this world-changing news.

In 2008, Diddy was among the many celebrities who endorsed then-Senator Barack Obama in his presidential bid. Two years in office and now-President Obama is having a hard time getting his ideas passed into legislation. Many of the people who supported him now seem to hate him.

While many Obama supporters turned on him during his young presidency, Diddy remains loyal. He understands turning around a country as big as the United States is not easy. Along with not being easy, the job will not be completed in one day. With all of the negative press, Diddy announced his support of the president.

Diddy recently explained his support of the president. He said the people understand how Obama is different. The people did not simply endorse him, they invested in him. Diddy said he invested in the president and he will continue to support him. The only thing that Diddy asks of President Obama is that he stays strong under the pressure of the entire world. No matter what, Diddy said he would stand by him.

Recently, Luther Campbell and Ray J have expressed interest in holding political office. In the past, 50 Cent contemplated running for mayor in Connecticut. Diddy and Jay-Z have also toyed with the idea of politics in the past.

Wyclef Jean is probably the most-notable hip hop entertainer who tried to enter politics. During Haiti's crisis, last year, some Haitians suggested he run for president. Wyclef took the words to heart and began a campaign.
