"What I want to know from pbandj is, considering the amount of venom directed at Bush for carrying out renditions, why would he assume that Obama wouldn't be agaisnt renditions? "
In your quotes, BHO said he would NOT use these renditions so that we could torture people. He didn't say we wouldn't use renditions when torture isn't involved.

You continue to Preach Socialism with your supposed "new constitution"
all the while claiming it is something else. The proposed penalties
for disobedience are Stalinesque at best but I am beginning to lean
towards Mugabic.

Why Are We so Gullible?
Posted by Butler Shaffer on May 12, 2011 08:14 PM
I got into a discussion with a friend today over the bin Laden assassination. She opined that it was good that he was taken out so summarily, given all the plans he had for more attacks on Americans. "How do you know this is so?," I asked. "They found his diary in his house, detailing what he had in mind," she replied. "And do you believe this to be true? Do you simply accept the government's assertions on this point?" "But this was contained in his diary," my friend insisted. "And do you know whether bin Laden -- or, perhaps, someone else -- actually wrote this? Don't you recall the forged documents, lies, faked photographs, etc., used by the Bush administration to try to convince us that Saddam Hussein had 'weapons of mass destruction' -- which he intended to use -- in order to justify a war against Iraq? Do you think the Obama administration is above using similar deceitful tactics?" My friend just stared at me.
When will we begin to take seriously the words of George Carlin, who said "I never believe anything the government tells me"?

It was a sad week
-- Obama was clearly race hustling in every way possible, from holding out amnesty to having his minstrel show at the White House
Almost everyone touched by the crap ended up stinking. Various conservative talk radio shows had on the usual incredibly stupid sounding black Obama supporters who can barely speak grammatical English defending this silly common joker. They all make the usual stupid arguments that Democraps always make, including those made by little White House white boy Jay Carney -- that Common is "thought to be" a "socially conscious rapper" and that only a few of his poems here and there advocate or glorify rape or murder or racism. And that of course "Eve did it too" or rather Bush or someone invited someone to the White House who had done or said something bad.
I think it may be another form of race hustling to put these second string Sharptons and Jeffersons on just to make the black sheeple Obama supporters look even dumber than the average one is. If I were one of the black independents or conservatives they usually have on to debate point/counter-point I would be insulted.

While people are free to listen to any garbage they want (except of of course, anything that does not worship the bommunist)....it is totally inappropriate for this piece of violent, envious, resentful trash to perform at the WH, but trash seeks trash.

White House Defends Invite of Political Rapper to Poetry Event

President Barack Obama, left, hugs rapper Common after a Moving America Forward rally for Democratic candidates Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010 in Chicago.(AP)The White House on Wednesday defended the invitation sent by first lady Michelle Obama to rapper and actor Common to attend a poetry event amid backlash over some of his lyrics that critics say promote violence.Common, whose real name is Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr., is not considered a gangsta rapper, but some of his songs and poems feature violent imagery.In one poem, he called for the metaphorical burning of President George W. Bush -- a "burning Bush." And in a song, he praised convicted cop-killer and former Black Panther Assata Shakur."While the president doesn't support the kind of lyrics that have been raised here, we do think some of the reports distort what Mr. Lynn stands for more broadly in order to stoke controversy," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday."He is within the genre of hip hop and rap in what's known as a conscious rapper," he said, adding that President Obama appreciates the way Common tries to get children to focus on poetry, "as opposed to some of the negative influences of life on the street."Cop killing lyrics not 'sum total'Ex Bush adviser sounds off on rapperEx Bush adviser sounds off on rapperCarney cited a Fox News report from last October that described Common as a "rap legend" whose "music is very positive."Carney added that he did not know whether the White House vetted the poetry to be recited at the reading Wednesday night."The fact is, Mr. Lynn has participated in other events in the past, including lighting the Christmas tree. I believe he's a multi-Grammy award-winning artist and he's been invited to this event about poetry," Carney said.Some conservatives have howled in protest over Common's invite."Oh lovely, White House," Sarah Palin said sarcastically in a tweet.Karl Rove, a former Bush senior adviser, called Common a "thug.""President Obama last week said he wanted to recapture that special moment we had after 9/11 and here a week later we have an example of how the White House thinks it can recapture that moment by inviting a thug to the White House -- a man who called for the death of President Obama's predecessor," Rove told Fox News.Common shrugged off the criticism."Politics is politics and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I respect that," he said in a tweet. "The one thing that shouldn't be questioned is my support for the police officers and troops that protect us every day."In a 2007 poem entitled "A Letter to the Law," Common railed against the U.S. invasion of Iraq invasion while urban areas were being neglected."Seeing a fiend being hung/With that happening, why they messing with Saddam?"Burn a Bush cos' for peace he no push no button/Killing over oil and grease/no weapons of destruction."In 2000, Common released an album that included the song, "A Song for Assata," in which he portrayed Shakur, formerly known as Joanne Chesimard, as standing up to an abusive and lawless police force."Your power and pride is beautiful," he raps. "May God bless your soul."Shakur was convicted in the 1973 murder of New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster. She escaped prison six years later and is now living under political asylum in Cuba.Former New Jersey state trooper Sal Maggio, who is the vice president of the Former Troopers Association, told Fox News that he opposes the White House invite to Common on the same week that law enforcement officers are honoring their fallen comrades."He shouldn't be let into the White House," he said. "I don't think any time is right for a man like this who proposes violence toward police."But Maggio said he thinks that the president and the first lady didn't know about the lyrics to this song.Common has also defended the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the pastor at the Obamas' church in Chicago who then-candidate Obama cut ties with after videos of his explosive sermons surfaced during the 2008 presidential campaign.In the sermons, Wright accused the U.S. government of racism and in the days after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. "America's chickens are coming home to roost" after it dropped atomic bombs on Japan and "supported state terrorism against Palestinians and black South Africans," Wright said at the time."He never really was against white people or another race," Common told Electronic Urban Report in 2008. "It was more against an establishment that was oppressing people. I think we all can see that this country has problems and a lot of it starts in the political system."Common said during the 2008 presidential race that Wright's sermons were filled with love, not hate."What I picked up from the pews…was messages of love," he said. "Anything that was going on against that love he would acknowledge and expose. He's been a preacher that's helped raise one of the greatest political figures in the world, and hopefully, the next president. He's also raised one of the greatest rappers in the world."

There were lights and sirens, gunshots firin
Cover your eyes as I describe a scene so violent
Seemed like a bad dream, she laid in a blood puddle
Blood bubbled in her chest, cold air brushed against open flesh
No room to rest, pain consumed each breath
Shot twice wit her hands up
Police questioned but shot before she answered
One panther lost his life, the other ran for his.
Scandalous the police were as they kicked and beat her Comprehension she was beyond, tryna hold on to life she thought she'd live with no arm
That's what it felt like, got to the hospital, eyes held tight
They moved her room to room-she could tell by the light
Handcuffed tight to the bed, through her skin it bit
Put guns to her head, every word she got hit
'who shot the trooper? ' they asked her
Put mace in her eyes, threatened to blast her
Her mind raced till things got still
Opened her eyes, realized she's next to her best friend who got killed
She got chills, they told her: that's where she would be next
Hurt mixed wit anger-survival was a reflex
They lied and denied visits from her lawyer
But she was buildin as they tried to destroy her
If it wasn't for this german nurse they woulda served her worse
I read this sister's story, knew that it deserved a verse
I wonder what would happen if that woulda been me?
All this so we could be free, so dig it, yall!!!
Now.....where is he glorifying cop killing???? this was just the first verse. the rest of the song is talking about Assata(lady from 1st verse) going to jail, going to court, and her breaking out of jail and living in political asylum in CUBA!!! stay classy FOX NEWS NATION!!!!1 person liked this.
