Michelle Obama to hold poetry night at the White House with a rapper who writes about killing police officers
Michelle Obama is hosting a poetry night at the White House tomorrow evening, and normally this would not be a problem considering First Lady Laura Bush also wanted to host a poetry night back in 2003. Laura Bush ended up cancelling the event because some of the left leaning poets’ (I know that is redundant) threatened to politicize the even with anti-war poems. While stating that she believed in the poets first amendment rights, she did not want the event to be turned into a political affair because that was not what it was supposed to be about.
Fast-forward to today: the Iraq War is still ongoing, Barack Obama has escalated the war in Afghanistan, started bombing Libya for no apparent reason, and violated the sovereignty of a nation in order to assassinate a terrorist leader (I agree with the latter and with the escalation in Afghanistan) so where are all of these people now that it is Michelle Obama who is holding a poetry reading at the White House and why are they not threatening to politicize this event?
But that is not the main point of this post, but rather who has been invited to read poetry at the White House tomorrow night. He goes by the name of “Common” and he is a rapper who writes about killing police officers and has written about burning President Bush alive. You can read some of this literary giant’s work here. He promotes violence, hatred, killing police officers and burning the ex-president while at the same time using racial slurs, and he is to be an honored guest at the White House.
I suppose we shouldn’t be too surprised that the Obama’s would honor a man such as this as they have shown an “utter lack of respect for the law” for a very long time. From launching his political career in the home of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn–unrepentant domestic terrorists who are responsible for bombing police stations, the United States Capitol building, and the Pentagon–to setting up Porta-Potties on a police memorial at a campaign event in Oregon in 2008, to calling the Cambridge police department stupid while admitting that he didn’t know the facts in the case, the Barack Obama seems to have a certain disdain for the police.
It is an absolute outrage that a man who writes the type of violent lyrics that “Common” does is going to be a guest of honor in the White House and it shows a real lack of judgement on the Obama’s for even thinking this would be acceptable. How can they possibly justify this and are they really so out of touch with mainstream America that they feel will will find this degradation of the White House and the presidency to be acceptable?
America's Watchtower 
Makes me sick to my stomach how degraded that office has become.

Simple: Anyone who doubts them is racist. Many opt not to receive this brand.

The Obama’s have once again showed a total lack of taste and judgement, by choosing a radical, racist, anti-American, anti-establishment rapper to perform at the White House … and, I don’t think it was merely a mistake. It was a deliberate insult to President Bush, the police, and women. Trying to justify it, with the weak excuse that it’s art, is merely adding insult to injury. Those who try to defend this foul mouthed rapper, named Common’ … or trailer trash, like Michelle Obama, are disgusting fools. This is just another reason why we have to get these low life traitors out of the White House in 2012 !!!

I am beginning to think this is being done on purpose also. There is no way they would invite him to the White House without having checked into him and I have to believe they know what they are doing. It is despicable!

Mr. Dennis
Very good article (this is the first time Ive been here–I came here by chance after doing a search on the “Poetry Night”)
I agree with others here that this had to be a deliberate act, by the White House… it truly shows his character, and his feelings about both America and America’s officers

Thank you! Although I have to admit that when I saw you call me Mr. Dennis I thought you were going to berate me. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, I hope you will be back.
There is no doubt in my mind that the Obama’s knew about this guys lyrics and that menas they must approve of them.
