Common Sense

President Obama can never rest comfortably.  It seems like when he does something that can possibly bring the country back together, the people that hate to see that find anything to attack him.  Recently The First Lady decided to celebrate poetry at the white house and invited Lonnie Lynn (MC Common) to perform.  Of course this decision was blasted by some that know nothing about Common or his music.  The funny part is that the people who were the most vocal about it were the ones who love the attention the most.  Sarah Palin and Bill O'Reilly always have something to say, even if it means making a big deal out of nothing.  They twisted everything around to say that Common advocated killing cops.  It's obvious they don't listen to his music and Palin is such a clown that she tried to say that she listens to rap as a way to make it OK for her to speak on him.  Nobody believes for a minute that she does because if she did then she would have been silent on the matter.  Common shined light on Assata Shakur.  He felt she was wrongly accused.  He has the freedom of speech to say that.  It sickens me when people act like their opinion is the only one that exists.  Luckily people came to Common's defense even though he didn't really need it.
