http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703859204575526401852413266.html By THOMAS CHATTERTON WILLIAMS What's on President Obama's iPod? A wide range, he told Rolling Stone magazine last week, from the jazz of John Coltrane to the ballads of Maria Callas. And more: "My rap palate has greatly improved," Mr. Obama noted. "Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I've got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff, but I would not claim to be an expert." Expert or not, that's the wrong message for the president to be sending black America. Does Mr. Obama like Lil Wayne's "Lil Duffle Bag Boy"? In that song, the rapper implores young black men to "go and get their money" through round-the-clock drug hustling. And with Lil Wayne, it's not just an act: The rapper is currently serving a one-year term on Rikers Island after being caught in New York with drugs and guns stashed in his Louis Vuitton overnighter.

Historically, almost ALL Bolshevik Marxist/Leninist/Maoist leaders have a fond to criminal class. Mao has written in the Report of Investigation on Peasant (Revolutionary) Movement that the criminals and thugs in the country side possess "best character of revolutionaries." Likewise, Bill Ayers, after he mysteriously qualified to be a professor in UIC, studied adolescent inmates in Cook County prisons.
 
If those are really what Obama listens to, then we have some real trouble. I hope that this is merely what his advisors told him to say.
