Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama may not necessarily support lifestyle legislation — including state bans on low-slung, sagging trousers — but that doesn’t mean he thinks dudes should be showing off their skivvies.

On Saturday, MTV News’ own Sway led our exclusive interview with Obama in Henderson, Nevada, just days before Tuesday’s historic election. Armed with questions submitted by MTV viewers, Sway discussed a number of critical topics with the presidential hopeful, including California’s controversial Proposition 8 (the state ballot initiative to amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage), education, gun violence and civil liberties.

Plies insists a trio is better than a duo. After his first single, “Bust It Baby Pt. 2,” featured only one guest star (Ne-Yo), he’s going in for the kill by giving fans a pair of collaborators (plus himself, of course) on his next two tracks.

“That record, I feel, is a helluva second single,” he said of Definition of Real’s “Please Excuse My Hands,” which features Jamie Foxx and The-Dream. “To come behind a #1 record and have a person who’s currently relevant in Dream, one of the better songwriters to come through this industry, and then do the Jamie Foxx thing, the boss of all bosses — I wanted to try something differently than I did on my last album.
