Lupe Fiasco Calls Pres. Obama A Child Killer

Lupe Fiasco Criticizes President Obama, Says He "Kills Little Children"

Lupe Fiasco is on a press run in support of his upcoming album Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1, and during an interview in Philadelphia with Power 99FM's Mina SayWhat, Lupe had some criticism for President Obama. When asked about who he feels is putting out positive images, he responded, "On one hand, you have someone who is a great speaker, but kills little children - our President." He continued, "I'm talking about ordering a drone attack. Ordering drone attacks that go and kill mothers, innocent bystanders, children. Militants too, but the collateral damage. You're responsible for that, too."

When Mina defends the President, saying that any killings of innocent people as a result of Obama's orders are not intentional, Lupe responded, saying, "A drug dealer can say the same thing. 'I didn't mean to kill all the people in the restaurant. I was just trying to get that one dude who killed my cousin. Just so happened that that little girl was there.' Same thing."

Thoughts?
I agree with him on the whole indiscriminate, secretive drone bombing that seems to be the accepted policy with this administration. Its like any collateral damage is just being ignored by the same folks who would hvae been kicking up a shytstorm if the president were white and/or Republican.

Its easy to be a c00n and make comments like this when the only decision you have to make is what to eat today. Obama is the leader of the free world and neither Lupe or any other idiot is privy to security briefs and know nothing of warfare or any other policy for that matter

This is actually a good point. Obviously Obama has his share of the blame, but the military-industrial complex goes way beyond him and into the world of corporate greed, where many of these Libertarians and other non-Left critics don't want to go.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

He's right though. If Bush were doing this we'd be calling him a war criminal. fukk Obama, at least Bush took the label and wore it proud.

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

What part of dat statement is false?

The attempts to rationalize his continuation of military adventurism on the left has been sad, flawed, and hypocritical to say the very least. Leftist like Chris Hedges, Glenn Greenwald,Jeremy Schahill, and Jonathan Turley among others have called them out on it.
