WASHINGTON (AP/THE BLAZE) — President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, will celebrate American poetry and prose with a gathering of poets, musicians and artists at the White House next Wednesday night. Professionals Elizabeth Alexander, Billy Collins, Rita Dove, Kenneth Goldsmith, Alison Knowles, Aimee Mann and Jill Scott will read, sing and highlight poetry’s influence on American culture.
And there is another poet whose works will be honored: as NH Journal points out, “One of the poets who will attend is Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. who goes by the name ‘Common.’”
“Tell the law my Uzi weighs a ton … I hold up a peace sign but I carry a gun,” raps Common in one appearance that was posted onto YouTube. The performance, you’ll see, is full of racially-tinged language. According to NH Journal, Common is an acolyte of Rev. Jeremiah Wright:
It is likely Obama met Common at the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ where both men were members. Several of Wright’s sermons caused a firestorm of controversy during the 2008 presidential campaign due to their caustic, racially charged, anti-American tones. One sermon in particular caused Obama a severe headache – the one in which he blamed America for Osama bin Laden’s terrorist attacks. “America’s chickens are coming home to roost,” he said.
Obama at first tried to defend Wright. But when that strategy became untenable, he disavowed him. Not so Common. In fact, Common defended his minister.

“Common” trash, the lot of them. What the hell is she thinking? 2nd thought, who cares? The political ads on all the Administration’s shortfalls could start today and go through election day and never repeat.
To be fair...common isn’t known as a street gangsta rapper like 50 cent and is probably one of the Ramesh rappers...he’s called a conscious rapper...I’m not a fan but since I’m young I’m aware of where they stand and current culture
Meant tame not Ramesh...stupid iPhone
Sheikh Hussein isn’t content merely to destroy the US, he wants to bury the remains in the sewer.
Definitely a role model.
Being a racist, muslim, anti-American, anti-Christian, and anti-Semite, is anyone surprised?
If we ever manage to get this POS out of our White House, I’m willing to bet the ranch that Obambi will pardon all kinds of cop killers, drug dealers, etc., as long as they themselves are “black” and their victims were white . . . Especially that POS who is a favorite of the looney left who murdered a cop a long time ago . . . he’ll be out if Obambi gets his way . . . What is that cop-killing pigs name?
I wonder how many insults whites are going to hear until they say: “Blacks resent us!”
That would be Mumia Abu-Jamal.
He acted stupidly.
Thanks mandaladon.
That’s nothing. The United Nations once gave its Humanitarian Award to a guy who shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
Johnny Cash got a Humanitarian Award from the UN???!!!
Freaky Mumia was on the radio this week spinning wild conspiracy tales about the death of Osama Bin Laden, and the media shrugged about another Deather.
Now are there any genuine accounts of Johnny Cash shooting anyone just to watch him die?
I mean, sure he set fire to a national park but...
Most presidents are smart enough to do this anti-American crap in their second terms.
Gee, it’s as if he has a lock on the 2012 election, isn’t it.
We have allowed the enemy to steal the presidency. He’s reigning by “no controlling legal authority.”
