McCain Gets Obama's Rejects
Filed under: Politik > John McCain
As we mentioned earlier this week, Puerto Rican Reggaeton singer Daddy Yankee is endorsing Republican presidential hopeful John McCain.
Papi went on and on about McCain in a recent magazine interview about how great of a person he is.
It's probably best that Daddy Yankee, who's well known for his raunchy lyrics and who also has an assault charge, is endorsing McCain and not Obama.
In 2007, Daddy Yankee was accused of assaulting a soccer player at his hotel. And somehow during the altercation, he got shot in his leg.
So who would have thought Yankee and McCain would even have their names in the same sentence????
And, even less, have McCain introduce the famous Gasolina singer at a Phoenix high school to perform????
Odd.
However, here's the best part.
Looks like Daddy Yankee was just doing it for the publicity.
Surprise, surprise.
According to reports, a source for the Democratic Party says Daddy Yankee had originally approached Barack Obama's Latino outreach staff earlier this year with the possibility to endorse Barack.
However, Barack's people weren't interested in his support, for obvious reasons.
That's when he moved over to try and use McCain for some publicity.
However, an email from McCain's spokesman, Michael Golfarb, says, "That’s a 'Ludacris' suggestion, and given the number of shady characters and organizations that have endorsed Barack Obama, we find it hard to believe the Obama campaign has turned down any endorsements at all."
What good would Daddy Yankee do????
One, he's Puerto Rican and P.R. is a U.S. Territory - so they don't vote in Presidential elections. And, Daddy Yankee primarily appeals to the much younger, non-voting crowd.
Good choice there, McCain.
Who's next to endorse you, Snoop Dogg?

Daddy Yankee is so SCRUMPTIOUS to me for some reason
I LOVE ANDY27.

Jon Voight–already on board. See Washington Times op-ed. (You can Google it.)
Next up: Angelina Jolie, who has not yet "made up her mind."
OT: THE JONAS BROTHER SUCKS!
i love Daddy yankee, and fergie ferg.
Hey good for him he is not supporting someone just cause all of the rest of the people are, he is an individual!!!
btw, i've just HEARD Daddy yankee sing, not seen him. is that him?
damn, hot.
:D
…dumb fuck.
Polit-whore. Another example of Obama doing his homework.
Elections are like religion…a bunch of stories and bullshit lies to confuse society. It looks like it works! Oh and Perez, stop giving this asshole media attention that he is craving.
Uh,Obama has the endorsements of Libya,PLO,the Muslim Boys,Louis Ferrakhan,Syria,Iran……you think that is better?
Daddy Yankee looks like he could use a shower and some spray n wash.
…if he's 'hot', well, I'm off to the eye doctor. toodles beatches…
I don't mean to sound like a dumb cunt, but I really hope Angelina Jolie openly supports McCain. I would definitely respect her opinion more than Oprah.
WACK is all I have to say….This guy clearly set a deal for a clean record or something… lol….Who care about Daddy Yankee any way… JERK
YAH DADDY YANKEE HAS ALOT OF INFLUENCE! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Re: Andy27 – YOU ARE A REAL FUCKING IDIOT! POSER FAG!
And this endorsement is a boost for which party?
Re: bouge – As would I.
Re: Andy27 – You have lost it. Really. It has gotten so bad that I think its time someone force you to go see a psychiatrist. There are people who have no lives, then there's Andy27. Damn, I doubt thats even you in your pic … I believe you are probably some 49 year old, balding, overweight hunchback that sits infront of his computer in his crusty ripped boxers, stained wifebeater and rolled up socks. You're that creepy old man that neighborhood kids avoid going trick or treating to on Halloween.
Perez..Kepp your politics to yourself. Just cause some people vote MCCAIN does not mean they are " try and use McCain for some publicity". Man oh man. Everyone has a righ to vote. Once people like you start telling us who to vote for it is a huge turn off! I use to like Obama.
p.s I like Daddy y music
McSame should be so lucky as to have Snoop endorse him.
OBAMA FOR PRES!!!!
I honestly hope that those of you who are being swayed by celebrity endorsements aren't old enough to vote, and if you are hopefully you'll die before you get the chance to do so. idiots…
Re: bouge – I agree with you on the Angelina thing. But I don't know if Brad's all about it, so she might keep her views private.
Sorry Perez but, Daddy Yankee is not just popular in Puerto Rico, either way he is just speaking his mind like everyone else. Perez you should not be sucha a follower!
Oh Perez, stop your bullshit, he can support whoever the fuck he wants, he has the right, stop being such a partisan ass! MCCAIN 2008!! MCCAIN 2008
Glad to know you aren't biased in any way. Why is news about Obama on a "celebrity gossip juicy celebrity rumors hollywood gossip blog"? It is awful when celebs get into politics publicly, even worse when faux celebs like you do it. This blog was so much less irritating when you didn't just spout your opinions.please go back to what you are good at.
Re: LettyB – Letty-your posts are always so intelligent and riveting.
Perez your fat so therefore your opinion doesn't count
Re: LettyB – LETTY BIZNATCH I THINK U NEED ANDY27 2 COCKSLAP YO ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS……………………………………..NOW BOW DOWN BITCH.
***MY COMMENT GOT DELETED SO I GUESS I WILL POST IT AGAIN. Why are you deleting any comment that does not agree with you?

OK Perez. Puerto Rico might ne a territory, but there is about 6 million Puerto ricans living in the States. Unlike your family thats from CUBA who really have no business voting for any president unless it's CASTRO wild ass, you really are the last person to say who can VOTE. and unlike CUBANS. Puerto ricans ARE AMERICANS AT BIRTH…!!!
Re: SHADDUP – SHADDUP??????????????? TAKE UR OWN ADVICE U PIECE OF DOG CRAP……………………………………..STOP TALKIN 2 OTHER ASSHOLES AND START TELLING ANDY27 U LUV HIM….NOW BITCH………………………..I SAID NOW BITCH, I DONT LIKE REPEATING MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Andy27s Chin – THERE YOU ARE! LOL!
Oh and another thing. McCain might of gotten Obamas rejectss BUT THE UNITED STATES GOT ALL OF CUBA'S REJECTS. como duele !!!!
ENOUGH! SHUT UP about politics….you are so one sided it's sickening
ha ha loser
Re: SHADDUP – THANK YOU IT TAKS ALOT OF BRAIN POWER TO POST WHAT I DO!!!!!
Re: ANDY27 IS AMAZING F U LETTYB – Fuck off stalker
Re: ANDY27 IS AMAZING F U LETTYB – YOU'RE CRACKING ME UP!
Re: Andy27s Chin –
I have his myspace, that is a picture of him trust me
Re: SHADDUP – IF YOU THINK IT IS A STALKER, IGNORE IT! I HAD ONE BEFORE IT CALLED ITSELF ALIENSPAWN!
this guy sounds like a typical confused liberal
sarcasm is clearly lost on both of you geniuses
All you do is bash people for their opinion, well, any opinion differing from yours. How come you're not slamming Dennis Hopper? He's a Republican. Maybe you should bring him up just so you can bitch about how private he is, and because of that he's an idiot supporting McCain. Get over it.
Ewwwww! It was Central High School in Phoenix. That school is about as ghetto trash as you can get! Nasty ghetto bastards! McCain is just as trashy! I'm not surprised.
Re: SHADDUP – I GUESS YOU DON'T GET SARCASM YOURSELF!
Perez, I don't think you understand. Celebrity endorsements DO NOT help a canidate! They hurt! The voters choose who becomes president, not shallow Hollywood stars and their trend chasing fans.
Re: CoDy A – THEN Y R U ON HERE WASTING TIME HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?????????????????????????? SHOULDNT U B JERKING OFF 2 UR KING???????????? HE IS A GREAT MAN, AND SINCE U KNOW IT, UR HAND SHOULD BE ON UR COCK RARING 2 GO………….HURRY UP…………….NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perez, I am so disappointed in you!! Do your homework and check out the shady histories of some of Obama's "celebrity" supporters/endorsements. I don't even have the energy to type all that shit, but the list is HUGE!!
***McCain2008***
Team McCain
Re: LettyB – LOL oookay
Id rather be an obama reject than a naive follower.
Has anyone seen the new ads showing that obama is friends with Ayers, an american terrorist who is proud of attempting to bomb the capital building? It wasnt even endorsed by McCain. Obama is one scary guy.
I hope, if you vote for obama, it is for the right reasons. be educated people.
and PEREZ endorses OBAMA - like that'd make me vote for him. ha ha
you're no Rush Limbaugh or Bill O'Reily - you better stick to celebrity news and leave politics to people who really understand them.
If you had any idea what Obama becoming the president would do to our nation - you'd paddle back to 'someplace else' as fast as you could.
more taxes - less freedoms - socialization - My god the man has only been a senator for 4 years and 2 of them he's been campaigning. He doesn't have enough experience to run a boy scout troop let alone our nation.
Not that I'm in love with McCain - As much as I detest her, I would vote for Hillary if she was running - at least she is the eveil we know.
Um dumbass (again), if you read for comprehension, nowhere does it say that McCain embraced this guy. He tried to use McCain like he tried to use Obama and was turned down. There's enough media making "news" out of shit-we know you're good at it, but don't add to it, 'k?
I agree that celeb endorsements are meaningless…especially when no one even knows who they are. Bandwagoning is no way to decided who you want to vote for…..just get all the information you can, and decide for yourself children!
wow, perez i am very disappointed. as a long time follower and fan of your website, i must say the political shit is turning me off BIG TIME. lose it or lose yet another former fan.
who gives a shit which celebrities are supporting which candidates??? i mean, other than you b/c you revolve your life around living through those "celebrities". if you had any intelligence you would know that this election isnt about a celebrity. it's about getting an education on the candidates and choosing someone who supports your beliefs…and not just gay rights! It's one thing to support one candidate over another, but why all the hatin on McCain? Feeling threatened much?
Youth, what a shame to waste it on the young.
Hey fatso. What about the racist priest from Chicago that called America every dirty name in the book that endoresed Hussein Obama? You forget about that or is there too much fat in your brian
Puerto Ricans living on the island may not be able to vote, but they are American citizens and many Puerto Rican-Americans live here in the US and ARE eligible to vote.
Besides, who cares WHO celebrities endorse? They are actors for a reason you know….
R U kidding me. Should we go and find all the dreadful and awful info. on the rappers, actors, etc that are supporting Obama. I'm sure if we did this there would be a lot more dirt on Obama supporters than McCain supporters!!!
Daddy Yankee is bad ass. His lyrics aren't any worse than anything else out there, like Kanye and others.
And did you forget that people from Puerto Rico might actually live in the US? Not all Puerto Ricans live in Puerto Rico. Lots of people from Puerto Rico live in Chicago and the suburbs. Daddy Yankee isn't a terrible endorsement to have.
I haven't decided on who I am supporting yet. Neither candidate has done anything to win my vote. With either candidate, I am pretty sure the country is screwed anyways.
Re: njpaul0129 – HEY U RADIOACTIVE JERZEY FOUL SMELLIN TRASH, Y U SO ANGRY WHEN U KNOW U GONNA B LICKIN THE FINEST ASS AROUND………………ANDY27………………….NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT OBAMA AND STICK OUT UR TONGUE BITCH…….THERE'S A FUCKEN LINE UP, UNDERSTAND?????????????? STUPID ASSHOLE.
FREE PUERTO RICO! Can we just get our stupid military bases out of there already so idiots like this won't feel they have the right to get involved in US elections?
It doesn't matter if he's from PR, he's still able to influence those who CAN vote. And obviously you are not a Daddy Yankee fan, thus how the hell would you know who his greatest audience is? The younger, non voting crowd? Maybe the point is, is that he will try to get those NON VOTERS TO vote.I'm of voting age and I'm GLAD AS HELL that a musician who I like actually supports the same candidate as I do.
You are so one sided it is pathetic. McCain gets Obama's Rejects? Well at least he doesn't have a pathetic queer like YOU supporting him. Oh, and of course Obama didn't want DY's support..that's why he's now supporting McCain, because Obama said "don't vote for me." Sounds likely. This race is probably going to be closer than most think, and every vote counts..Like a candidate would tell someone they don't want their vote.
HE LETS MCCAIN PUT IT IN HIS BUTT
Even though he denies it, fame has clearly gotten 2 daddy yankee's head…THIS is a first.
BC Obama's supporters are so much better???? At the end of the day, actors and "musicians" (I'm using the term lightly bc there are few true musicians these days) should stick to their day jobs and not give their poilitical two cents. Just bc you have millions doesn't mean you're qualified to try to convince the masses thru your media power. Regardless you're better off having Daddy Yankee endorse you than some political extremists. Obama is a communist at heart. Guaranteed.
"Good choice there, McCain"
WTF are you talking about? He didn't seek out Daddy Yankee for an endorsement, he probably didn't want it.
perez.. get your story right.. DY got shot in his leg when he was 17
Re: ANDY27 IS AMAZING F U LETTYB – Your Proctologist called….they found your head.
Re: Quenepa – eso esss!!! i agree quenepa im not a republican but it is true what you say and i am a puerto rican born in nyc and i now live in PR and just so you know perezzie we were able to vote a few months back to see who got the nomination but i guess that doesnt matter huh?? p.s. there are more puerto ricans in new york alone than in puerto rico fyi anyway i personally could give a damn about MCcain ..so dnt hate!
I love you Perez but why the fuck do have to hate on all Republicans? We're are not the totally assholes you make us out to be.
Perez, along with every known media outlet (with the exception of Fox News), has a liberal bias?!?!… SHOCKING. Original too.
I must admit that I'm rather unimpressed with your political input, Perez.
Re: tomach – Amen!
Daddy whatever the fuck, sucks!! Gasolina's a tune though!
OH, NO YOU DIDN'T!!! Yes, Daddy Yankee is puertorican, and there is a lot of boricuas and latinos that have the right to vote here!!! So, people like me- old enough to vote and young enough to enjoy reggueton- might listen to what he has to say. Shame on you Perez. Are you trying to pull a Don't-call-me-latino like Jessica Alba. I really used to think you were better than that!!!
I'm a Puertorican living in NY so Perez our DOES COUNT!!!!!!! thank you & good night!!!!!
Yes Perez is trying to pull a Dont-Call-Me-Latina-Alba move on us Puertoricans!!!!! Shame on you Perez!!!!
All I can say is EWWWW! He looks like such a poser!!
McCain Sucks!
AHA! I full support Barack… I just found the Ludacris comment hilarious because Fall Out Boy just made a mixtape and are dealing with an organization, Citizens For Our Betterment, that supports Barack Obama: Ludacris (the rapper) supported that and was featured on the mixtape…
Hey Perez, leave daddy alone, he can vote for whomever he wants…I still have not seen anything from you about Madonna and her stupid comments, What's up with that??
Obama has pissed on all Latino voters. Get wise, Mario. The Democrats have played it all wrong this time. Go McCain!
Re: Andy27 – wow your a moron…a gay republican now I've seen it all.
Do your research, babes. While I agree that Daddy Yankee is a loser. You must get your facts straight. This is the first election PUERTO RICO's VOTES WILL COUNT!
LOL YOU ARE A JOKE FAT ASSHOLE AND I AM GOING TO KILL YOU
Re: hardcore head banger – You're brilliant, aren't you Head banger? Do yourself a favor and go have a beer and watch some nascar.
YA HE GOT THE SHORT END OF THE STICK TRERE
MAYBE A PLAN BY O-BAMBA TO GAIN SOME MORE VOTES
um perez you are ridiculous sometimes even though i love you. you talk about the country being "united" but you make fun of those who have different views than you. don't be such a hyprocite. even i don't dislike those who support obama
and you can be so biased its sickening. just stick to what you know best. celebrity gossip, mkay pumkin!
