Obama Skips Police Week
Interesting....
May 15, 2011 | President Obama skipped the events of National Police Week in D.C. this week, instead hosting a controversial rapper at the White House who has praised a convicted cop killer. On Wednesday, the White House hosted a poetry night with a performance from Common, author of the work, "A song for Assata," in dedication to Black Panther Assata Shakur, who was convicted for the 1973 slaying of New Jersey Trooper Werner Foerster. Earlier in the week, Fraternal Order of Police National President Chuck Canterbury sent a letter expressing his "profound disappointment" with the invitation and followed it up with a phone call reminding President Obama's staff that National Police Week is "a time to honor law-enforcement officers for their service and sacrifice." Obama did not attend the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund's candlelight vigil Friday evening. He also skipped the Peace Officer's Memorial Service on Sunday on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol. President George W. Bush attended the Peace Officer's Memorial every year except one. President Obama spoke at the National Peace Officer's Memorial in 2010. http://www.policemag.com/Channel/Pat...al-Rapper.aspx

I was told this by a few members of the illustrious police force, who are quite close friends to former Congressman and Sheriff Brad Ellsworth. So show me some disproven articles and I'll return to sender.

I don't think anything is wrong with Common and expected Obama to be a big fan as they have much in common.
Instead of Fox or Huffington telling you who Common is and what he stands for just simply watch Common and decide for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LssFolrpiD4

Jesus. Common is one of the least controversial rappers in history. The dude was in this and GAP commercials FFS. FOX News has praised him over and over again for being a 'conscious' and 'responsible' rapper before they decided that they hated him and he was a cop killing radical. Enough with the fake outrage.
