CBS News Radio White House Correspondent Mark Knoller via Twitter:

WH says Pres Obama opposes violent & misogynist lyrics, but defends participation of rapper known as Common in WH poetry event tonight.

WH says some criticism of Common is distorted and lyrics suggesting a threat against police are not the sum total of his work.

[himno hero]

Moral and mental failure in the White House.

And this CRAP is our administration and leadership? A fine reflection on the populace.

Whatever happened to the days when people aspired to greater , loftier goals?

[BerryDingle]

I just hope zero doesn’t chain the emergency exits closed so Holder’s people who got in without paying the cover charge can get out if Michelle “releases” some pepper spray.

[FreedomPoster]

It sure is good we have a post-racial President in office.

Oh, wait, he’s just high-class low-life scum supporting a man who lionizes a cop-killer with his lyrics.

[kcvl]

His true colors are showing...AGAIN!

White House: Common a ‘socially conscious rapper who has done good things’...

Two ‘poets’ invited to WH oppose interracial relationships...

‘When my friend told me his wife was Caucasian, I felt my spirit wince’...

I wonder if holds the same beliefs about America that his Rev Jeramiah Wright does?

You can bet your life savings on that.

They BOTH do. They BOTH sat under Jeremiah Wright and absorbed and agreed with the hatred for America.

And they're obviously still buddies, so nothing has changed in their 'worldview.'

Only memories of those days now. I don't think after this that we can ever get them back. We're too far down the road of degradation. Clinton threw us over the cliff and Obama is smashing us at the bottom.

[ohioWfan]

This is sick and I am sick to the stomach that this admin is racist and gets away with it and I can’t even write on here what I think of them

Most of us can't, manc. I've seriously never had these thoughts before.

[opentalk]

The Rapper sat in Reverend wrights church since 8yrs old. Campaigned with Obama. Same fabric as Obama. Probably has his I Pod full of his songs.

If it makes you feel any better, Common wrote on Facebook an hour ago of his support for police and the military:

Politics is politics and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I respect that. The one thing that shouldn’t be questioned is my support for the police officers and troops that protect us every day. Peace yall!

[manc]

I actually did not know that one could feel like I do without knowing someone who was close.
But this media sickens me.
Knowing what and how goes into the white house disgusts me.

The amount of words in my head right now, AARRGGHH

[caww]

This administration has all but trashed the respect the office Of Pres. of the US holds. They now think it's THEIR White-house and they'll do what they want to...because they can and who is going to stop them?

I hate saying this but it's starting to look like “it's pay back time”...everything now is about them and the people they will be cratering to for this next election. Move over America...the street thugs have taken over our “White house”.

Getting mighty tired of “tolerating” the intolerable. Getting tired of the Pres. and Ist Lady talking down our country and it's people. Getting tired of every comment or opinion being called racist.... It is they who are raising racism from the grave...and they're bringing their thugs to drive it home.

[ohioWfan]

Oh, yeah.......that makes me feel LOTS better......./sarc

[caww]

I can’t even write on here what I think of them Most of us can't,....... I've seriously never had these thoughts before.

You are not alone.

[manc]

you know I can’t even call her first lady as she is no way shape or form a lady.

This racist has been the most vile woman in history to have lived there.
The AG has to be the most racist in modern times.

[PghBaldy]

Rapper community considers him OK, so therefore he is, or so says the WH. That seems like circular reasoning to me.

[Reagan Man]

Let’s see now.

Obama continues his 2012 campaign for minority special interest votes ... the goals, liberal plantation blacks 96%, Jews 75%, Hispanics 67%, homos&lesbians 90%, union members 65%, Islamofascists 100%, Rappers 100% ... etc etc etc...

Looks like Obama has everything covered.

[Art.] 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.”

Obozo's guys are trying to practice "cowpie quickstep": if you pull your foot out quickly enough and just so, you won't get your shoe dirty with cowflop.

"While the White House has condemned lynchings and burnings as illegal and inhumane, nevertheless the President feels that the Imperial Wizard's statements on miscegenation have been misinterpreted to a great extent, and in any case are not the sum and total of his views on the economy, defense, etc.; and so his invitation to the state dinner for the Queen will not be withdrawn."

Riiiiiight.

That is OK Obama if you can live with white middle class America watching this side show proceed go for it. I can tell you that you have mostly lkost all support from the ones you had in 2008 but if you also want to lose the cops and firefighters unions be my guest!
