As you may have heard, First Lady Michelle Obama on Wednesday welcomed a "gathering of poets, musicians and artists" to the White House to "celebrate American poetry and prose." This has become a mini-scandal for the Obama administration due to the fact that one of invitees was the controversial rapper/poet "Common," whose real name is Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr.
What is so controversial about Common? Well, for starters, he has offered words of support for two cop killers, Mumia Abu-Jamal and Assata Shakur. Both Mumia and Assata were at one time members of the radical black nationalist Black Panther Party. Mumia murdered white Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981 and was convicted and sentenced to death, while Assata murdered white New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973, was convicted, incarcerated, then escaped and fled to Cuba, where she lives under the protection of the communist dictatorship to this day. Assata Shakur is also classified as a "domestic terrorist" by the FBI.

“Assata Shakur is also classified as a “domestic terrorist” by the FBI.
The PRESIDENT is a domestic terrorist!!!
Why did they invite the trash? IMO, was to flip their middle finger at conservatives.
Because they are hateful racists at heart.
They celebrate this crap.
This whole white house bunch has turned so pathetic it’s almost hard to laugh anymore.
Michelle Obama is hardly a lady. She’s a cold hearted uppity white hating black bitch.
The Obama’s love this stuff and thrive on flaunting it our faces.
it our faces.= it in our faces.
In Wiki: Hip-hop artist Common recorded a tribute to Shakur, "A Song for Assata", on his album Like Water for Chocolate, after traveling to Havana to meet with Shakur personally.
Everyone associated with Obama and his family are the trash of all races.
Well said Gate. 2012 and the defeat of these America hating T.C.B.E.M.S can’t come soon enough.
His “church” for twenty years was far worse...
Hate filled through and through...
The hate Whitey, hate Christian crowd at the White House preen their racism and bigotry for the world to see.
I think that’s the only answer. Any decent WH staff would have vetted this guy and said he was clearly too controversial, but Bambi and Moosechelle want to rub our noses in it, and then they’ll play the race card if decent Americans protest.
DITTOS--------January 2013 can't get here fast enough! ! ! !
They are making their opponents campaign commercials for them; I can’t believe The Sultan will run next year (regardless of what he has said publicly about it).
Clearly Rev. Wright is the new social director at the White House.
Only as relates to the private sector.......so far.
“Why did they invite the trash?
Like attracts like
Obama handed us a campaign commercial on a silver platter.
