WaPo Skips Common's White House Poem Line That 'God Watches' and Was 'Able to Barack Us'

Washington Post reporter Dan Zak was assigned the story of the rapper Common’s performance at the White House on Wednesday night, and he not only buried the lead – he completely ignored it. I don’t mean that he failed to quote any of the controversial rap/poetry lyrics about “Burn a Bush” or hailing convicted cop-killers Assata Shakur and Mumia Abu-Jamal. He did fail to do that.

No, the more interesting story is how Common’s performance apparently ended by kissing Obama’s ring, that “God is watching” and that through “One [Martin Luther] King’s dream, he was able to Barack us.”

And it turns out that “Barack us” means the same thing as BOHICA . . .

So much for “I have a dream . . . “ Thanks MLK!!

And getting baracked every day is truly a living nightmare that no one should have to go through. Four years of it is bad enough, but eight years of baracking might cause people to snap.

Every morning I take a seat on the toilet and drop an obama.

After I am done, I wipe my barack.
