Jay-Z In The Situation Room: Rapper Met Obama (PHOTOS)

Was Jay-Z living large in the White House Situation Room this week? According to the rapper, who casually told the crowd at a Wednesday night concert at the Verizon Center, "I just came from the White House," yes. Jay-Z's story was confirmed by two photographs, posted to twitter", which appear to show the rapper and friends sitting around the Situation Room table.

The White House confirmed that Jay-Z did visit the White House Wednesday for a quick, unscheduled visit with the president. A white House aide told CNN that special visitors occasionally visit the Situation Room. "It's not like there's classified information laying around," the aide said. "It's really just a conference room." Photos below.

WTF? Shouldn't that headline read "Name Dropping Race Baiting Misogynistic Rap Star Wannabe Philosopher with violent criminal past hanging out in the White House" ? I wouldn't want Ronald Reagan hanging with Motley Crue & Van Halen, nor would it be appropriate for Jane's Addiction & Ice-T to be chillin with the Clintons, but this is being overlooked because......?

3 more years of this?!?! This country will have no respectability left. What happened to the Integrity of the office of the President? See what happens "Independents" when you elect a far leftist? Someone who spent their whole life hating this country and no time learning about U.S. history Leave your "Race Card" comments out! This administration is a complete and total embarrassment to Americans here at home and abroad. Our soldiers are risking their lives to protect White house parties and Hip-Hop photo ops. Shameful

The reason why rappers are "everywhere" and are so "big" is because the "white man" wants them to be. So many seem to be impressed with the capital these people have! (their money being made off poisoning their own communities in a myriad of ways) If the rappers are making millions, then the white pimps and media conglomerates who facilitate the dissemination of this abhorent hoax of entertainment, are making BILLIONS by pimping them! Wake-up! There are forces that want the black race eradicated! And if we keep celebrating these new "house negroes" , valuing the worthless and making the profane sacred; then we will be eradicated!

This photo was taken in very poor taste and makes a mockery of the President and the White House. I hope Obama doesn't plan on running for a second term-- this phote shows he doesn't take his job seriously. People judge you by the company that you keep... this is very sad and disappointing.

So, what? If it was an unannouced white visitor to the WH and they ended up in the Situation Room, this story wouldn't even make the news.

Seems like the White House is closed for tourist but sure is available if you can pay your way in. The real "change" they believe in. ROC at the situation room.

If America could allow an undereducated, lying hoodrat like George W to LIVE in the White House for eight consecutive years without a major outcry, I certainly have no problem with a musician/businessman visiting the White House for a few minutes during an unscheduled visit. By the way, I understand Bob Dylan visited the White House recently, also. What? No article...no rage?

I'm surprised that Faux News didn't make this a lead story...Rappers in the White House: Obama Pimps Out The White House..Story at 11

well, fox news story or not

he does seem like a somewhat scummmy guy to be having over for a social visit

but hey, its obamas house for now

so i guess he can have whoever he wants over

of course, legitimizing a known crack dealer, and weapons law violator, by letting him sit and pose is the situation room seems to be poor judgement at best

Y’all need to really chill out, the man just came buy to say Hi, just cause you may have voted for him does not mean you own him. I am a cop and a father of two young boys, I do not let my children listen to Jay-Z, but I like the President am a grown man so I do listen to his music, and I own all his CD’s. He is hands down the best rapper of all time. Yes his music is negative but so are lots of things that ADULTS do for entertainment. JAY-Z helped the president connect with a sub-culture that rarely votes…and for the record this President has saved us from a depression, and when all is said and done history will show that he did the best that any one could have done.

The parade of criminals that were visitors in the White House of Reagan, the two Bushes, and god help us, Nixon, raised nary a peep from anyone at the time. This concern now seems suspect. Your white robe is showing.

Nope. He is married to Beyonce. Everybody likes Beyonce. Maybe when Obama invites Snoop Doggy Dogg, then Fox News will make it into a lead story.

Jay Z also disrespects women so often he has to be a republican.

[ObliqueReference]

Jay Z is a Republican!
Only a republican would take so much pride in making money and only a republican would go to such lengths to tell others how much more worthy they are than everybody else because of how much more stuff they have, like Jay Z does on every song of every album he's put out.

There are no republicans in Brooklyn.

50 cent

(a much more talented rapper than jay-z)

I take it you don't like Jay Z.

Just great. Obama has turned over the Whote House to a bunch of hood rats.

Not quite the type of change I was hoping for, but I should have known better.

Can't wait for 2012 to wipe the off my shoes.

Does it hurt to be so racist? I was just wondering if it caused you any pain.

I am not a fan of Obama and the left wing for that matter BUT Obama is the elected POTUS of America and part of that involves him calling the White House home. He can have whomever he wants over and do whatever.

I don't want the government telling me who can be at my house and I certainly don't want to be telling others who they can have at their house either.

I suppose one could question the company one keeps but I don't know enough about this rapper to do that.

Not a bright move here, with Jay-Z currently under federal investigation for alleged shady gambling deal in NY (with assist from Gov. Paterson.) Beyonce' took heat for performing at a birthday party for a son of a terrorist. Why give the GNOP more red meat and the MSM a new story that could hurt him and the Dems? Whoever cleared this visit needs to be re-assigned or fired.

well, maybe jay-z had a little "package" for obama

if you know what i mean?
