Last week we posted the Lil Wayne &amp; Nicki Minaj "<a href="http://www.ihiphopmusic.com/music/lil-wayne-mercy-feat-nicki-minaj" target="_blank">Mercy</a>" freestyle on which Nicki Minaj voiced a bar that that appeared to be in support of that douche bag Mitt Romney (yeah I said it).

The line
<blockquote>"I’m a Republican voting for Mitt Romney, you lazy b*tches is f*cking up the economy"</blockquote>
The president took a moment to address the line:
<blockquote>“I’m not sure that is actually what happened. I think she had a song on there, a little rap that said that. But, she likes to play different characters. So I don’t know what’s going on there.”</blockquote>
President Barack Obama was also asked if his daughters Sasha and Malia listen to Nicki Minaj to which the president responded.
<blockquote>“I don’t think they really listen to Nicki Minaj that much.”</blockquote>
Cool as always.

Nicki Minaj took to Twitter to respond to Barack's comments.

Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor &amp; sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do… *sends love &amp; support* @<strong>BarackObama</strong>

And that's that.

<blockquote>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>What music have you been listening to lately? What have you discovered, what speaks to you these days?</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">My iPod now has about 2,000 songs, and it is a source of great pleasure to me. I am probably still more heavily weighted toward the music of my childhood than I am the new stuff. There’s still a lot of Stevie Wonder, a lot of Bob Dylan, a lot of Rolling Stones, a lot of R&amp;B, a lot of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Those are the old standards.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">A lot of classical music. I’m not a big opera buff in terms of going to opera, but there are days where Maria Callas is exactly what I need.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Thanks to Reggie [Love, the president's personal aide], my rap palate has greatly improved. Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I’ve got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff, but I would not claim to be an expert. Malia and Sasha are now getting old enough to where they start hipping me to things. Music is still a great source of joy and occasional solace in the midst of what can be some difficult days.</div></blockquote>

<blockquote>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>What music have you been listening to lately? What have you discovered, what speaks to you these days?</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">My iPod now has about 2,000 songs, and it is a source of great pleasure to me. I am probably still more heavily weighted toward the music of my childhood than I am the new stuff. There’s still a lot of Stevie Wonder, a lot of Bob Dylan, a lot of Rolling Stones, a lot of R&amp;B, a lot of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Those are the old standards.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">A lot of classical music. I’m not a big opera buff in terms of going to opera, but there are days where Maria Callas is exactly what I need.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Thanks to Reggie [Love, the president's personal aide], my rap palate has greatly improved. Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I’ve got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff, but I would not claim to be an expert. Malia and Sasha are now getting old enough to where they start hipping me to things. Music is still a great source of joy and occasional solace in the midst of what can be some difficult days.</div></blockquote>
