“You know, the root cause of terrorism is the stuff the U.S. government allows to happen. The foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists.”
We know of at least one Chicago rapper who won't be getting an invite to the White House anytime soon.
Lupe Fiasco called out President Barack Obama this week, calling his fellow Chicagoan "the biggest terrorist."
"My fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is Obama in the United States of America. I'm trying to fight the terrorism that's actually causing the other forms of terrorism. You know, the root cause of terrorism is the stuff the U.S. government allows to happen. The foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists."

Huh.. never heard of this guy. No doubt most will just chalk him up to be a "conspiracy theorist".. instead of someone who's trying to get people to question things. I could be wrong, but I doubt he'll make it far in the industry.

You make'em wanna do right Lu (Dumb it down)
They're getting self-esteem Lu (Dumb it down)
These girls are trying to be queens Lu (Dumb it down)
They're trying to graduate from school Lu (Dumb it down)
They're starting to think that smart is cool Lu (Dumb it down)
They're trying to get up out the hood Lu (Dumb it down)
I'll tell you what you should do (Dumb it down)
Was the bigger threat from Osama or from Obama?
Military bases from Chagos to Okinawa

I'm just happy to see some people in the public eye are pushing back on the tendency to give this President a pass on almost anything imaginable.
He's officially started his second term now. In every sense, HE was the last guy now and he's only inherited HIS own doing after 4 years of opportunity to make things better or worse.

He is already considered a mainstream rapper, one of the few musicians out there that people like for his lyrics and not the beat or look.

another red herring.
They want you to focus on OBAMA, because the REAL terrorists are the REAL people running things behind the scenes.
blaming Obama is like blaming the cashier at BP for the oil prices.
edit to add: Bush did 10x more for terrorists than Obama is doing. but neither are saints!

If Lupe Fiasco had more clout than just another flash in the pan musician, more would stand and listen.
Looks like a publicity stunt to me.
I absolutely agree with the base but this doesn't deserve front page news as he is not front page notable.
Peace
Lupe Fiasco called out President Barack Obama this week, calling his fellow Chicagoan "the biggest terrorist."
The comments came in an interview with CBS News Tuesday while discussing the political content of his music.
