Obama's Campaign of Blinding Lights

"Reading over the lyrics...I see that it describes Obama's campaign of ego, slight of hand, slick advertizing and "how can we fool them today"." The song is about the aftermath of 9/11, you jerk. Shame on you for trying to turn a sentiment like that into another classless smear. "Bono has also remarked he was inspired by a concert the band played in New York City on their Elevation Tour following the terrorist attacks of September 11. It was the band's first time back in the city since the attacks occurred. When the lights went up during one of the songs, he could see tears streaming down the faces of fans. It was this passion and emotion of the city's fans that partially inspired the song." --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Of_Blinding_Lights#History

Well, he couldn't have chose a more befitting song could he? I have been watching the Democratic Convention, and I tell you, they don't need admirers, they are in love with themselves. I must say though Hillary did give an inspiring speech tonight. I bet the party was bashing their heads after her speech saying "Man we chose the wrong candidate!" I will stop now before I offend someone, LOL

I'll tell you what, I'd like to hear what Ol' Wierd Al himself would have to say about this. Hopefully, even more Obama supporters will now seriously question Obama's view point. I see MANY Obama supporters in the near future, reading the lyrics, gettting a puzzled look on their faces, face palming and muttering out loud, "WTF?". Or, they'll laugh themselves silly at old foggies like us who 'Don't get it!'.

I know I am way out of my leauge when it comes to music but I have a song that would make a better thyme song for the Obama's, Carly Simon's You're So Vain. You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself go by And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner, and... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? don't you? You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive Well you said that we made such a pretty pair And that you would never leave But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? don't you? don't you? I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? don't you? Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won Then you flew your jet up to Nova Scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun Well you're where you should be all the time And when you're not you're with Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend Wife of a close friend, and... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? don't you? don't you?
