Michelle Obama Can't Let Criticism of Her Rapper Go American Thinker Blog ^ \| May 26, 2011 \| M Catharine Evans americanthinker.com The First Lady is not content with corrupting American children at the White House. In a Q&A with British high school girls at Oxford University Michelle continued to promote the rapper Common. Bizarre. And then we had a poetry night and Common was there. He's very cute. But everybody from poet laureates to hip-hop folks, being able to mix up the world in that very interesting way, the White House allows you to do that. A bitter Michelle can't help getting a dig in about "the White House" allowing her to "mix up the world." (Did she really go to Princeton?) A couple of weeks ago the conservative media rightfully objected to Common's presence in the People's House. Mr. Obama defended his wife's decision to invite a man who writes repulsive lyrics like a track called "Communism," a love song to a cop killer, and sexually explicit misogynistic ‘poems.' There are no rules on what makes a great poem...a great poem is one that...challenges us and teaches us something about ourselves. Following the President's lead, leftist comedian Jon Stewart, who owns millions in real estate and lives far from the inner city where violent rap really takes a toll, ridiculed concerned Americans. By the way, songs are not literal. When The Weather Girls sing, "It's raining men," it's not really precipitation of males. What Stewart conveniently omits about the poetry slam at the White House on May 11 is that area children were invited. Sometimes, Jon, for kids without proper parental supervision songs are "literal." You should have learned that in psychology class. As an adult Michelle can listen to gangsta rap all the livelong day. No one cares. But when she corrals area students into the people's house for how-to workshops then it becomes child endangerment. And that is the public's business. Michelle Obama doesn't like being called out. Acting like a defiant teenager herself she chose to mention the rapper thousands of miles away on a European trip. As far as we know, during the course of her discussion with the girls at Oxford she did not laud any other performer who attended the White House program, only Common. How absolutely disturbing on so many levels.

Speakers at Pro-Bin Laden Rally in Gaza Strip Praise 9/11 and Say: Osama Lives On in Our Hearts memritv.org Memri TV May 20, 2011 Following are excerpts from pro-Bin Laden rallies in the Gaza Strip, which was posted on the Internet on May 20, 2011: At Gaza rally: Crowds: There is no god but Allah. America is the enemy of Allah. […] At Rafah rally: Crowds: Our souls and our blood we will give for you, oh Osama. Our souls and our blood we will give for you, oh Osama. Our souls and our blood we will give for you, oh Osama. Demonstrator: There is no god but Allah. Crowds: There is no god but Allah. Demonstrator: Sheik Osama is loved by Allah. Crowds: Sheik Osama is loved by Allah. Demonstrator: There is no god but Allah. Crowds: There is no god but Allah. Demonstrator: Sheik Osama is loved by Allah. Crowds: Sheik Osama is loved by Allah. Demonstrator: Osama destroyed America… Crowds: Osama destroyed America… Demonstrator: …using a civilian plane. Crowds: …using a civilian plane. Demonstrator: Say: "Allah Akbar." Crowds: Allah Akbar! Demonstrator: Beware, oh Pakistan… Crowds: Beware, oh Pakistan… Demonstrator: …of the soldiers of Taliban. Crowds: …of the soldiers of Taliban. Demonstrator: Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews… Crowds: Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews… Demonstrator: …the army of Muhammad is returning. Crowds: …the army of Muhammad is returning. […] Sheik Munir Al-'Aydi: This blessed man, Osama, Allah's mercy upon him, has given his money and his soul for the Jihad for the sake of Allah. At a time when real men are few, he united the nation around monotheism. Allah's mercy upon you, oh Osama. You were good in your life, and you were good in your death. That man Osama thwarted the American plan in this region, and did what no man has ever done before, especially in our times. He is not a man like all men. He is a man who was true to the pledge he made before Allah. That is the man who said: "I pledge before Allah that America and its people will enjoy no security before we enjoy true security in Palestine." He was always devoted to the land of Palestine. He was always devoted to the liberation of the holy places. He was always devoted to the instating of the law of Allah. […] Today, this proud lion has been dumped in the sea by the country of heresy and prostitution, America. They wanted him dead or alive. […] That is the man who brandished his weapon to fight the enemies of Allah. He led the Global Front for Jihad against America and its allies, the worshippers of the cross. He rightfully earned the title of the imam of our times. Demonstrator: Say: "Allah Akbar." Crowds: Allah Akbar! Demonstrator: Say: "Allah Akbar." Crowds: Allah Akbar! Demonstrator: Say: "Allah Akbar." Crowds: Allah Akbar! Sheik Munir Al-'Aydi: That is the man who shattered the crosses. That is the man who brought the Americans to their knees. That is the man who humiliated the hypocrites in the East and West. That man through whom Allah distinguished men of truth from men of falsehood. […] In the days of Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, when there were claims that the Koran was man-made, the scholars of those times would say that you could distinguish between a man of truth and a hypocrite by his love for Imam Ahmad. In our times, we too say that you can tell a believer from a hypocrite by his love for Osama Bin Laden. Crowds: Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Sheik Munir Al-'Aydi: You are not dead, oh Osama. You live on in the hearts of us all. Osama lives on in the heart of every man. All our sons are Osama. Our entire nation is Osama. […]

Obama Goes Golfing on Memorial Day .............................................................. by Keith Koffler 5/30/ 2011 whitehousedossier.com The business of memorializing our war dead done, President Obama headed out to the Fort Belvoir golf course today, finding his way onto the links for the ninth weekend in a row. Obama earlier today laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and met with families of those killed in battle. But he emerged from the day’s solemnity to go golfing for the 12th time this year and the 70th time of his presidency. The decision to golf on Memorial Day invites comparison with President George W. Bush, who gave up the game early in his presidency and said he did it out of respect for the families of those killed in Iraq. Obama is out with the three younger aides he typically has in tow on his golf excursions, junior White House staffer Ben Finkenbinder, White House Trip Director Marvin Nicholson, and Energy Department staffer David Katz.
