<p>The shirt says it all!</p>
<p><span id="more-95"></span> <span lang="EN">Waking up on November 5 is an incredible feeling. It feels different&#8230;it feels new..it feels better. Not better because of what we&#8217;ve done, but of what we&#8217;re about to do. We are in the position to make this country the America we want and need, as well as the America we have purported ourselves to be. I just welcomed into this world a granddaughter this weekend(Taylor Amari-7lbs) and I actually feel like she might have a decent world to live in. Until yesturday I wasn&#8217;t sure if it would be, but today there&#8217;s hope, which is all we ever asked for. It&#8217;s not up to Barack..sorry, President-Elect Obama to save the day but to inspire us to help him save this country and improve our quality of life. This is the future I&#8217;ve always imagined, and it&#8217;s now tangible. It&#8217;s within reach people, so let&#8217;s not stop now. We didn&#8217;t just win an election; we won oppurtunity, which is the true American dream. Dr. King is proud y&#8217;all. So am I! UGK for life, long live Pimp C!</span><span lang="EN">Signing off, Bun B </span></p>

Rhymefest reveals election day ignorance&#8230;in his own family! 
&#8220;The Ignorance Within&#8221;
As I run through LaGuardia airport rushing to Chicago for election day, I&#8217;m realizing that my fight for Barack this year is not with a McCain/Palin supporter, or even myself&#8212;I participated in early voting.  My fight for Barack Obama&#8217;s place in history lies within my own [...]]]></description>

Rhymefest reveals election day ignorance&#8230;in his own family! <span id="more-84"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;The Ignorance Within&#8221;</p>
<p>As I run through LaGuardia airport rushing to Chicago for election day, I&#8217;m realizing that my fight for Barack this year is not with a McCain/Palin supporter, or even myself&#8212;I participated in early voting.  My fight for Barack Obama&#8217;s place in history lies within my own family. </p>
<p>On Halloween night, my daughter&#8217;s mother (baby&#8217;s mama) sent me a picture of her in the VIP section at the club dressed as a sexy nurse.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://photobucket.com"><img border="0" width="514" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y132/andreashale/1225668272575.jpg" alt="Photobucket" height="714" style="width: 452px; height: 696px" /></a></p>
<p>However yesterday, when I asked her what time she was going to vote her response was:</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8230;it depends on if I can get some gas money or somethin&#8217; to get over there.&#8221;</p>
<p>I was like AW HELL NAW!! How the **** you gone be able to get to the club on Halloween night in your slutty nurse outfit, but can&#8217;t figure out a way to get to the damn polls to vote for Barack Obama??  That&#8217;s some ghetto ass sh*t! </p>
<p>To be fair to her though, I was met with this response: &#8220;When you send me some goddamn money for this baby, then worry about what the **** I do at the polls!!&#8221; </p>
<p>So today, not only am I flying to Chicago to give her some damn money for the baby, but Barack has raised the bar enough for Black men in America for me to grab her by her head and drag her to the polls&#8211;and she better be registered!! Or it&#8217;s gonna be some domestic abuse kicking off in Chitown!!</p>
<p>For your viewing pleasure, here&#8217;s my daughter&#8217;s mother in her Halloween costume:</p>
<p>Hopefully she won&#8217;t mind.  After all, she did take this picture in the club.  Everybody saw it anyway. <img src='http://blogs.bet.com/music/hhvsa/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>PS: I will continue to send you pictures, updates, and posts throughout the day of my Chicago ghetto mess.</p>

<p>We are trying to make sure people know where to go to vote today and the rules that apply. Today is history and I&#8217;m happy to be a part of it! 3 stops before ten today, and more later! Barack just cast his ballot (wonder who he voted for..LOL), and the game is on! Make sure you vote today if you haven&#8217;t already! I&#8217;ll holla back soon..peace!</p>
