I know there isn't anything more important to discuss than the rapper/poet Common being invited to the White House by Michelle Obama. So, I just want to get in on this discussion and clarify one thing @RichieLion, if I may.

You said, "Common glorified an actual cop killer who fled the law and is hiding in a foreign land." Actually, Common glorified an actual cop killer, Assata Shakur, who killed a police officer in 1973. She was convicted of first degree murder, escaped from prison and is in exile.

Common also praises Kathy Boudin from the Weather Underground who went to prison for felony murder and robbery. The robbery led to her arrest in the death of multiple police officers. While in prison, Boudin's son was raised by Obama's good friend William Ayers.

I knew this information because I watch Fox News and I researched the facts with several independent sources.
