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.
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 lost all support from the ones you had in 2008 but if you also want to lose the cops and firefighters unions be my guest!
After catching flak for offing Bin Laden, Obama will pardon Mumia before the year’s out just to placate his base.

common COMMON You aint scared of me? RT @questlove: Lol Fox News called @common a “vile rapper” eh? #grasping 10 May
Looks like Jay Carney needs to "contextualize" Fox News's comments about "Common".
I hate it when these clowns put us in the Twilight Zone. I’d rather look at their bared teeth than have them disorient us in all the myriad ways that they do.
I know......and that helps..... a little bit.
Oh, I don't know .... there may have been one or two like him back in Woodrow Wilson's day, when the Klan waxed mighty again, and sent 600 delegates to the 1924 Democratic national convention.
I know what you mean.
But I've concluded over the past two plus years that disorientation is exactly what they have in mind.
In EVERY area of governance (or lack, thereof) they have deliberately confused us. They say one thing, then another. They do something horrible and then deny it and blame those of us who call what they've done by its right name.
Think of Egypt, Libya, the economy, gas prices, drilling, even the photos of a dead bin Laden.
They just want chaos so they can control us even further.
It's DEMONIC.......and I too, would rather see the teeth than have this madness day in and day out.
So when his lyrics come to light to a wider audience, are decried for what they are, and in a way that might affect his wallet, he changes course.
Screw him. I question his support, as should all thinking people.
Yes ma'am, he did.
And that wasn't exactly the sum total of his work, either.
Maybe we should point that out to the Obamanation.
The only reset button he’s hit is setting race relations back a few decades with this kind of hateful crap.
should have said in more modern times.
We have a man who is supposed to be standing for the law who then refuses to stand form the law like DOMA, but then drops charges against black racists, refers to his people and then sues states or police depts because not enough blacks can pass a test so now F is the new pass rate for blacks.
It’s nuts but then when one thinks what the white house looks like at nights with their thugs being entertained on our dime is sickening
Do we really think COL Allen West would behave in this way, not a chance
zip on class ...
ditto.
Yes, he's playing "everybody pile on Whitey" politics.
Which is really just Marxist-Leninist fragmentation and agitation all over again, stirring up disorder so he can impose "order" under emergency powers.
And remember that Bill and Hillary were playing at this identity-political/social-fragmentation stuff 20 years ago, back when Obama and Michelle were still new to the experience of cashing an actual paycheck.
The advantage to us of having Obozo demonstrate this politica is that, with him, you can actually see the malevolence much better, because in his arrogance, Obozo thinks he's got it and doesn't care if we see what he's doing, since baiting us is part of his politics anyway.
The Commander in Chief welcomes the Common in Chum.
Obama... white trash.
2011:
