Obama Defends White House Invite to Cop-Hating Rapper…
The most degenerate president in American history.
(ABC News) — The White House Wednesday condemned some of the lyrics and prose of hip hop star Common, whose invitation to a White House poetry event this evening has brought criticism from some conservatives and police officers.
“The president does not support and opposes the kind of lyrics that has been written about,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said when American Urban Radio’s April Ryan asked him about the controversy.
Carney said the president has “in the past spoken very forcefully out against violent and misogynistic lyrics.”
Referring to “concerns by some law enforcement,” Carney said that “the president’s record of support for law enforcement is extremely strong.”
David Jones, the president of the New Jersey State Troopers Fraternal Association, voiced concern to the White House and to ABC News about Common’s invitation given Common’s song extolling Joanne Chesmard, a member of the Black Liberation Army, convicted in 1977 of the first degree murder of a state trooper and sentenced to life in prison. In November 1979, Chesmard escaped from prison.
That said, the White House press secretary suggested that some of the media coverage of this controversy has not be fair or accurate.
“While the president doesn’t support the kind of lyrics that have been raised here,” Carney said, “some of these reports distort what Mr. Lynn stands for more broadly,” referring to Common by his given name, Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. “Within that genre of hip hop and rap he is known as . . . a conscious rapper.”
Carney cited a 2010 FoxNews.com interview with Common in which the reporter told the hip hop performer, “your music is very positive and you are known as the conscious rapper — how important is that to you and how important do you think that is to our kids?”
But while the president opposes those lyrics, Carney said, “he does not think that that is the sum total of this particular artist’s work which has been recognized by a lot of mainstream organizations and ‘fair and balanced’ organizations like Fox News, which described his music as positive.”

He’s hugging this man.. hugging him.. a racist a cop killer supporter and a good friend of our setting president.
How disgusting for all of us to see this sort of display from our own President.
Have you no shame? have you and your wife no morals.?
You sick demented piece of pig shit.
Referring to “concerns by some law enforcement,” Carney said that “the president’s record of support for law enforcement is extremely strong.”
Like calling them stupid?
Despicable…yet typical from these leftist, classless dumb-asses.
Digging their own graves come ’12…please keep it up.
“the president’s record of support for law enforcement is extremely strong.”
Like, “the Cambridge Police acted stupidly”
Go screw eachother Hussein and Carney!
“… what Mr. Lynn stands for more broadly.”
I would guess that “more broadly” would mean more misogynistic.
/or do I mistake the metaphor?
…as opposed to an unconscious rapper ?
please tell me what he “stands for more broadly”
Let’s do a recap on just who acted stupidly:
Hussein: “I don’t know – not having been there and not seeing all the facts – what role race played in that, but I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two that he Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home.”

Q: Who is STUPID and who won’t call out Hussein?
A: Hussein & Liberal media (go figure!)
The same lame excuse he used when he said he didn’t listen to any of KKK J. Wrights “sermons”.
Exactly Leonard. Should we expect anything less from a man who spent 20 years in the Rev. J. Wrights church? Hell know we shouldn’t.
obama is using way to much crack.
It’s amazing that Republican candidates seem fearful of running against this guy, perhaps because he’s colorful. I fantasize at length about the campaign ads a creative person could assemble every time one of these stories appears on WZ.
Imagine if Bush had hugged David Duke and let him drop by and ‘rap’ a little?
Disgrace.
Black Panthers going to provide security?
I’m expecting a WH “Honor Stalin and Mao” night, soon.
What’s the over and under on one of Common’s Peeps ‘Ridin the 9 down on some M@#$%^F^*!er! Yo, keepin’ it Real!’
Day-um.
He’ll get away with this kind of stuff as long as people on our side refuse to take the gloves off.
But then again they’re all scared of being called “racist”.
I think we’re screwed in 2012, unless we run a guy who is not afraid to go after the fraud in chief.
Jeremiah Wright, Rashid Khalidi, “Common”, Father Pfleger, the racist stuff in his book, his wife’s racist thesis, etc… on an on an on and everybody shuts up.
I’m not optimistic for the future of this country.
Why is nobody is calling for a boycott of the Gap who used Common in its commercials a few years ago?
ghetto scum, both of them. Let’s turn the LSU kids on Common!
Since one is permitted to say ‘whatever’ as a ‘poet’. I’ve decided to come out of retirement, and become ‘socially conscious’ as Obama described this scum.
Does anyone think I’ll get away with ‘burning Obama’, without a visit from the Feds.
Wait until Obama pardons convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal…
there will be Hell to pay.
Just another hater
Amoral, The First Fat Ass, Barry from Hawaii and “Common”…filth.
I absolutely LOVE black music …from the 50′s and 60′s, that is. (Ever listen to Miles Davis? gotta love his music!)
Sorry, Rappin ain’t music. I don’t know what it is, But it ain’t music.
Oh, and it sure as hell ain’t “poetry.”
Will President Teabagmouth be receiving Common on the basketball court or in the smoking lounge?
Let’s see Barack binUbama and his wife are black so I can’t call them white trash, but damn that is what they act like. These two are the most disgusting and vile things to ever set foot in the White House. The respect and honor reserved for the office of the President of the United States has been physically and morally corrupted.
The whole world now laughs at us.
Another “YOU LIE!!!” moment.
Hip-hop artist Common in the White House is as shocking as the “alligators in the moat” comment. How radical!
I also heard that the Obama Administration is going to force more sub-prime loans again. Just keep collaspsing all systems like a good Alinskyite, Obama.
God help us all.
Yeah, this is what the New Society has brought us, it is called art, it is Hip Hop or more widely known as one step above dancing around a fire in the bush pounding on an animal skin drum. What happened to music where people learned to play an instrument? I for one am sick of this shit!
Bam loves his “peeps” and will keep shoving them down our throats until
we do, too.
The Zero regime sides with black thugs who intimidate white voters, calls white cops stupid who arrest his black professor friend, never expressed condolences for the four white cops who were ambushed and killed in WA state by a black thug, has an atty. general who calls blacks and hispanics our people, racially profiles whites of all ages at airports.. of course he will invite white hating black rappers and poets to the WH..
Oh, it’s hilarious hearing a dorky white guy talking about “a conscious rapper.”
As if this hasn’t been said before, Obama is a piece of shit.

You forgot to mention Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Louie Armstrong,
all the mo-town artist of the 50s and 60s…..Now this was music, not this
crap they call R.a.p…..How can you compare Nat King Cole singing, my all
time favorite, ‘ Monalisa ‘ to this garbage of today…….
Are they calling it the Black House yet?
YOU CAN TELL A PERSON BY THE FRIENDS HE KEEPS….OBAM MUST BE IMPEACHED, HE IS MAKING FOOLS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS, HE’S LAUGHING AT ”WE THE PEOPLE” HE HATES AMERICA, MAY HE BURN IN HELL SLOWLEY…….
Well there’s the rapper and then there’s Beyonce’s music that Mrs Obama chose for school children’s Let’s Move events.
Beyonce’s song has the Big F all thru it but we have been assured that Mrs Obama had those removed.
All that but the real issue is that the president and the first lady of the United States of America are listening to this crap and consider it art.
Does anyone remember seeing the David Chapelle skit where he is the first black President?
Well this is it to the tee bitches!
Barry’s wife spat on all that is/was decent about our White House.
I am with you Big dawg, this crap rap is low on talent and high on Hollywood promoter hype for a bunch of non-talented douche bag thugs to get rich.
It’s going to take months to fumigate and get the stench of these animals out of the whitehouse in 2012.
What do you expect from this cock sucking Buttsucker Proxy of a President?
Black Trash. Compare Condaleeza Rice and Colin Powell to this Disgusting Duo. Condy lectures at Military College and plays classical music beautifully. She is one classy lady, unlike this Mooschelle
Go ahead on, little bammy. Mock, put it in our face, do all you can, cause your time is counting down. The “kill” gave you the power you were craving for now, but before long it will be alligators and the moat for you.
This is just more of his”In Their Faces” policy. Trying to gain “street cred”with
a certain portion of his base. He begs impeachment by the mainstream.
