Will You Do the Obama Hustle?

By Alexis Garrett Stodghill, BlackVoices.com

In this video, Darlene Stewart of Detroit brings you the Obama Hustle, created by Crystal Smith and performed by Seniors United of the Grenadier Lounge. This hustle was created by and for seniors, but it's definitely hot -- as Stewart claims it is -- and a great dance for people of all ages. When Obama wins, will you be doing this hustle?

But as my co-worker and partner in crime, Brennan Williams, reminds me, dancing is not enough. Regardless of whether you do this dance, it won't mean a thang if you don't vote! So be sure to register, and encourage all your hustle companions to join you at the voting booth.

2. No, I will not be doing the Obama Hustle should he by some miracle win the election. But I will dance in the street when he looses. I believe those of us who are "Blacks Against Obama" will rejoice so much at the defeat of the hustler Obama for oh what a day of rejoicing it will be. Why I am sure to many of us it will be like our Second Jubilee as we await a real black American to step forward to win the presidency of the United States of America.

12. Since I don’t have much rhythm, you all have to do a “How To Instructional Hustle Video” like Soulja Boy did for his famous “How To Crank That” dance. He has over 37 million viewers thus far. LMBO at this! Too funny . . . Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama!

Peace & Blessings,

13. I WILL BE DOING THE HUSTLE,TOO. OBAMA WILL WIN. PRAISE THE LORD.

14. Any black against Obama is not a black person at all. How can you go against your own race and still think that you belong to that race. You are the type of poor minded person that will stay in the same situation forever because you cannot recognize change when it comes knocking. It just goes to show that ignorance is universal. OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA!!!!!!

15. I love me some Obama so I will be hustling all the way to the polls!
