  • Love Obama Amazing Guy Haters Leave Him Alone. You Just Mad You Wasn't Invited

  • gayy ur a fucking itch hoe ass nigger

  • Get to work

  • 給剛才評論,做個註解一下喔!在Google找歌曲,突然畫面視­窗跳出這個來.不給評論的,似乎有一點失禮的.

    所以,就做了如此落腳.

  • 呵!呵!

    意氣風發'才表出眾的.

  • I wonder if the President read the poem I wrote for him? It is at heartunes you can google it and is named PROVEN. This won't let me put in the direct link.

    I wish it gets to him somehow. He is a wonderful speaker, even if he is not a poet. God Bless America and the American poet!

  • This was beautiful but im terribly upset that you cut out Common's performances. Does he not deserve his recognition as well?

  • search "sorry but i'm listening to this in 1856. " and this is the first video that'll come up. weird.

  • "write for me love, PLEASE! not a perfomance piece, actors act but you are a poet. you write poetry. the dancing of words, the fly in the soup, the pain in the peace... YES!

  • he looked like he swallowed a bug when he said humanity and the arts

  • And for the record, Common is one of the few mainstream rappers who actually have soul and depth

  • @Launchpad05 don't judge all rap by lil Wayne and soulja boy. REAL rap is poetry. That's the definition of it. Poetry that must rhyme and flow to a consistent beat, it is often put to hip hop, alternative or indie rock, funk, or (more commonly these days), electronica. even sometimes punk and metal. The rapping itself isn't music, it's a form of spoken-word (or "urban") poetry. Do some research, or just rant like some uneducated GOP voter

  • I wonder if they are going to talk about the police acting "stupidly" or just about shooting the cops? Hey, get another stupid black rapper (hip hop) and they can rap about beating women too.

  • They should have invited Saul Williams to read. It would have been spectacular.

  • This whole awful thing stands as an example of one of the many horrors that's going on in this country: The artificial ascension of mediocrity due to political correctness. It boggles the mind that this type of lameness is being validated this way. It sends the message out that standards, effort, taste and expectations count for nothing. Just slap some dumb crap together and refrain from laughing out loud ... and saps will tell you you're up there with Shakespeare!!

  • 23:41 WTF???!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what's with that one guy's suit?

  • @666ASTANA @LAUNCHPAD05 Hahahahahahahaha! THE WHITE HOUSE IS OURS BITCHES……BOW DOWN AND BE THANKFUL THAT GOD GAVE U BLACK PEOPLE…..IF IT WASN'T FOR US THERE WOULD BE NO U….BOW DOWN….ITS NOT THE CROWN THAT MAKES THE KING, A KING….ITS THE BLOOD THAT MAKES THE KING, KING! REMEMBER THAT…...

  • HEY OBAMA WHY DON'T WEAR YOUR PANTS DOWN AROUND YOUR BUTT CRACK FLASH US THE ILLUMINATI DEVIL HAND SIGN AND HAVE A CIGARETTE.

  • RAP IS NOT POETRY! IT'S GARBAGE, AND GUTTER RATS LIKE COMMON DO NOT BELONG ANYWHERE NEAR OUR WHITE HOUSE!

  • @Launchpad05 Hate to counter argue here, haha, but calling a spade a spade, rap is poetry. anything musical can be poetic. It really just depends on the content of it and how it is expressed.

  • @quickpickandthick Maybe, but anything that comes close to 'poetry' in rap is few, and far between, but comparing rap to poetry is just like comparing pornography to art. Our society is being dumbed down!

  • @Launchpad05 I agree, on the lines of new school rap. It's really insulting to what it used to be, which was basically told as a story or a point of view. So, yeah, I see what you mean.

  • Where is common?

  • Can Ron Paul be the Exilir for America?

  • RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012! RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012!

  • jill scott baby!!!

  • annoying so many comments about something that isn't even present in this video.anyways... I LOVED THIS! Poet myself. I really enjoyed Rita Dove, Jill Scott and Billy Collins. The performance of the poem about the 6th grade teacher was really good too.

  • @gewilly6 - Are you saying that Obama hates his white mother and Grandparents that raised him? I guess he hates half of himself too? Common has never commited a crime and has a non-profit Organization that gives back to his community. This is far from thuggish behaviour. Attending meetings of an organization that is responsible for Lynches and murders like the KKK is far from attending the church of a man that has been oppressed by KKK members. You seem angry for all the wrong reasons.

  • Only Moochelle Obama would invite a rapper that writes crap about assassinating President Bush and killing cops.

  • @truthforamerica - Easy E made a song about fucking the Presidents wife and making her suck his dick and he was invited to the white house by Ronald Reagan and the Bushes. So what about that?

  • I'm a die hard Obama fun but this is ridiculous, why cut out Common's part just because the morons are doing what they are paid to do-be morons.

    This is really annoying, a few crazy people dictating to the masses.

    Common brought life to the whole show, now all we gonna be stuck with is these dweebs. Dayum! God curse fox news!

  • @rock4ladies His music/poetry are one thing and should not be censored or anything like that. But when you support those who brutally murdered police officers, that is beyond reproach. It is that which should not be rewarded. So by your logic, it would be fine for you if someone who supports whites/rednecks who lynched blacks years ago to be honored by the president because they make a few words that rhyme together? FOX simply brought up the fact he supports these murderers and you blame FOX.

  • I loved that laureate that "lost the plot" - but he brought it back when he gave my mum her next gift!

  • I LOVE AMERICA, THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE

  • Your Presidency, You have the temerity to invite one of your pew-mates from Reverend Jeremiah Wright's Church of Hate, Racism and Anti-Americanism to come and spew in the house The People of the United States of America allow you to temporarily occupy? No wonder you poll in a statistical dead heat with a generic Republican candidate one week after the most significant positive bounce of your administration. Who's next, murderer Bill Ayers and his accompliss/wife Bernadette Dohrne?

  • @deegan45 Jon Stewart is a comedian and political hack. Tosh.0 is a more accurate commentator of events than him.

  • "Musical performances may be excluded from on-demand video due to licensing and intellectual property limitations." Read the description if you're wondering why Common's part was excluded.

  • Maybe Common's part got cut because the description says "Musical performances may be excluded from on-demand video due to licensing and intellectual property limitations." So I guess that Common was reading a copyrighted poem.

  • wtf was that old woman doing taking her shoes off in the white house

  • Some of you are just plain ole stupid

  • There needs to be AN OUTCRY about COMMON BEING CUT OUT of this "official whitehouse" reposting! Thumb up if ya' hear me...

  • @whitehouse

    Where is the BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

  • Poetry has no power. There were no poets here only idiots who like to think as themselves as poets.

    I have heard better poetry recited by tramps and drunks on the street.

  • Where are the poets. 

  • He wont be reading his poetry as he did not write them, just like the scripts but they make him read from them.

  • Another party by the obongas partying on the taxpayers back while the rest of America pays elevated fuel prices due to his anti energy policies.

    What disgrace this piece of genetic filth obonga is.

  • @deegan45 Jon Stewart is not even real news. It is comedy 

  • @deegan45 I spent almost an hour trying to see what fox news was upset about, with Common being at the White House. I found out that they claimed that Common had rapped against cops. Well, I listened to the music that fox news referred to, and found out that Common was just being rhetorical!! A person with a brain would know this!! A well know statistician group said that 88% of the time, fox news either stretched the truth, or out right lied about controversial things, concerning Democrats!!

  • @deegan45 It's not just Fox. NJ cops, not to mention the cop's family, are pretty upset that a person who defended a convicted cop killer is in the white house. “A song for Assata"

  • @redarrowhead2 The whole thing about Common is way overblown!! I heard the lyrics to the song, and it is simple rhetoric!! I have alot of music by Common, and he is just using music, in an effort to make people think!! I do believe that in alot of cases, the cops needs to be put in their place, because it is reality, and you are blind is you dont know that cops do target people of colour!!!!

  • Jill Scott I love you. I would leave my wife for you.........

  • @deegan45

    Common is clearly defending convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur in his 'A Song for Assata'. Assata Shakur murdered a state trooper, was convicted of her crime and fled to her ideological compatriots in the communist dictatorship of Cuba. Everything she represents is antithetical to the capitalist democracy of the USA.

  • Why would fox news be upset with Common? Oh, thats right, they hate black people. I should have guessed.

  • I watched this whole video, because of links to this page said that Common would be on here?? I just wasted 44 minutes of my time waiting to Common!

  • @deegan45 Maybe I am behind on what is happening, but why would Fox News object to Common?? He was the one I wanted to see and hear, but they cut him out!!

  • Why did we not get to see Common? The reason I went to this page was to see, and hear Common!!!!

  • Why would they cut Common's part out? This white house.... pathetic!

  • @Lionel054 because Obama is a pussy

  • @Lionel054 "Musical performances may be excluded from on-demand video due to licensing and intellectual property limitations." It's in the description.

  • I'm telling you, Obummer is giving Losers their moment to shine. From his friends, preachers, administration and guests he always seems to find America's biggest losers and hire them to work or perform for him. I have to admit most of his people are genuine assholes who have worked long and hard to achieve their asshole status.

  • where the hell is Common?

  • President Obama thanks Common at the end. I would think a more appropriate thank you especially amidst the unjustified controversy his invitation caused would be to not omit his performance footage.

  • wth? yea lets worry about poetry instead of our Country

  • @ChristianWorldOrder2 art is a strong part of our country. This is just a celebration of one portion of our rich American art culture.

    I mean, would we really have an Ipad if we never saw the "Datapad" from Star Trek TNG?? Art imitates life and humanity is capable of making art reality. Dont shit on art man, its woven into the fabric of all of America's great successes.

  • @EmpathyWorks thank you for taking care of such an ignorant comment.

  • @ChristianWorldOrder2 - Hey there,, Poetry is a part of our Country. It's American's expressing stories of freedom, liberty and even anger.

    Oh by the way,, Your videos are getting better. Keep it up. Some would say your videos are a form of poetry. Its just the spoken word with a twist.

    Have a nice day.

  • @seeker267 thank you

  • Wheres Common? Brooklyn Bridge poem was sweet. 

  • already...5 people need some Obama in they're lives..hatin don't look good on everybody.smh.

  • i'm embarrassed

  • Why weren't Common and Steve Martin's performances shown? :-(

  • This is all well and good but when the BC issue was brought up Obama said he had more important things to do and shrugged it off as being silly (HELLO)!

  • Witches casting spells in the People's House. The blind lead the blind into a dark pit.

  • @eliezerlazarus - Angry trolls twisting passionate nets of capture with tobbacco stained fangs spit a song of discontenment during festive timeclock.

  • Kind of funny how Obama starts off by saying "a nation built on freedom of expression" and they cut Common's part.............

  • Comment removed

  • @StrategosAutokrator do you even know what you are talking about? They cut common's (the performer) part out.. What does that have to do with Common or Obama being a hypocrite?

    I feed the trolls!

  • @MadMoked The point you make would only be valid if Common were the only poet to have been cut from this video. The most plausible explanation is simply due to time constraints.

  • @MadMoked Wait did they seriously FUCKING cut out his part just because idiots at fox news made a fuss? 

  • @MadMoked I just read up on it, he didn't cut his part its right in the video...

  • @3GBlog between what times?

  • @MadMoked The freedom of expression does not guarantee exploitation.

  • @MadMoked I think they cut it because it was considered a musical performance. I saw that they put something about that on the White House YouTube page. Someone else on here posted the performance. A bit of it is cut out but it's still powerful.

  • @MadMoked they only cut Common's part because he had music playing in the background. It was basically more like a song and they can't put that in here idk why. You see they cut out Steve Martin's part also that's cause he sang a folk song (something like that) with some other guys. So it just happened to be that way they didn't purposely cut out his part.

  • @MadMoked What a stupid thing to say.. There were a lot cut out in fact most were cut out... Like Steve Martin... so what do you make of that? Who do not like Steve Martin?...so he was cut out because Obama hates white people is that whats your saying?....

  • Common performance wasnt on it

  • @mamatamba2 hahaha lol man good response to that moron hahaha :D

  • Jill Scott was amazing

  • Loved this. Thanks For posting.... BTW did I miss Common performance...?? *GoesBacktoCheck*

  • Faggot Poetry

  • Is this America? Are these conspiracy theories?

    Assassinating Americans, Illegal Search/Seizure, FBI Sneak/peek, Warrantless Wiretaps, Secret Rendition, Torture of Suspects & Whistleblowers (Manning), Gitmo, Indefinite Detention after acquittal, using DU on Civilians & US Troops, Wall St. Bailout and Foreign Banks like Libya, Increased Military, Internet Kill Switch, Higher Taxes, Medicaid Cuts, Signing Statements, Bypassing Congress, War Crimes, etc

    —Real News @ RevolutionNews.US

  • @RevolutionNewsDotUS2 Yes. Yes it is. Now please stop talking.

  • @RevolutionNewsDotUS2 What else is new ?

  • @Bakuninite87 new? oh, obama can now have endless wars... haven't you heard?

  • @RevolutionNewsDotUS2 Must you spam on every single White House video?

  • @mascadanator I wouldn't call it spam. I would call it facts. you got a problem with the 1st amendment? you call it spam to post facts that our country is run by a dictatorship... most people don't know these facts... just spreading the truth... got a problem that I take my time to protest the FACT that our president is a dictator who is above the law?

    our presidents are mere puppets for the corporations and international bankers... another fact.

    now go back to sleep, ewe!
