Problem with black America illustrated by popularity of Rap Music

I've never listened willing to rap music, and I confess on those times when I have heard it I haven't been able to understand a word that's being said. But I've seen the articles that do give the lyrics, and I've seen bits of videos of these rap songs that are nothing but guys waving their hands in front of the camera while a few women strip-tease behind them... and all these rap songs hate women, and glorify meaningless sex and meaningless violence.

But a week ago we had these two devastating polls that literally panicked and shocked the White House, and they are still in panic. And they still are shocked. And that's why Obama did -- what was it? -- five or six fundraisers alone on Friday. Five or six fundraisers!

He was expected to raise $5.6 million and did not raise $5 million. He came in at four-something, four-point-something million. He didn't even meet the expectations, which means of course the economists will be surprised at the unexpected results. And at one of these fundraisers, at some guy named Tyler Perry's house in Atlanta, they had a musical performance by a well-known rapper by the name of Cee Lo Green. Now, you remember the hubbub a couple-three weeks ago regarding me and all the so-called lack of civility, which has now also backfired on the Democrats. This guy Cee Lo Green showed up at the Atlanta fundraiser for Obama -- Mr. Civility, Barack Obama.

And this guy Cee Lo Green dropped the F-bomb. He's got a song entitled "F--- You," and he changes the lyrics around on occasion, but he showed up before Obama came out and spoke at this fundraiser and dropped the F-bomb in his song while Mr. Civility is backstage, waiting to go on I guess. This is getting nowhere near the attention it should get in the media. Mr. Civility, Barack Obama, is not being asked about this at all. We have a 22-second blurb from this performance by Mr. Cee Lo Green. We've bleeped it. It'll give you some idea how it went.

GREEN: I see you driving 'round town with the girl I love and I'm like ...

BACKUP SINGERS: Ooo,ooo,ooo!

GREEN: Can I cuss? I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough. I'm like, "(bleep) you!" and "(bleep) her, too." I said, "If I was richer, I'd still be with ya. Ha, now ain't that some sh(beep)?"

RUSH: That's at an Obama fundraiser in Atlanta. "I see you driving 'round town with a girl I love and I'm like," and then he shot the audience the bird. He flipped them the middle finger at that point. And he sang, "Can I cuss? I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough. I'm like, '(f-bomb) you!' and '(f-bomb) her, too.' I said, 'If I was richer, I'd still be with ya. Ha, now ain't that some sh(bleeped)?'" This is before Obama goes on the same stage. Mr. Civility. Let's remember what he said March 6th. Let's go to audio sound bite number three. We might as well play this. March 6th he's at a press conference and he gets a question about my apology to Sandra Fluke.

The reporter wants to know whether he thinks it was sufficient and heartfelt.

OBAMA: I don't know what's in Rush Limbaugh's heart so I'm not gonna comment on, uhhh, uh, the sincerity of his apology. Uh, what I can comment on is the fact that all decent folks can agree, uh, that the remarks that were made, uh, don't have any place in the public discourse. And, you know, the reason I called Ms. Fluke is because, uh, I thought about Malia and Sasha.

RUSH: His daughters, Malia and Sasha. He thought about them. What about this guy Cee Lo Green? And Cee Lo Green can sing what he wants. I don't care. But here it is at an Obama fundraiser on the same stage Obama will take not long after Cee Lo Green sings the tune. Yep. Double standard, single standard, whatever. Pure hypocrisy. I know. But the point is it isn't getting any press, nor is it getting any condemnation. But don't doubt me when I tell you it's noticed. It's noticed. Just because the press, the mainstream press, State-Controlled Media doesn't give it any attention doesn't mean it's ignored. It's out there, especially now it's out there.
