Obama Everywhere in the USA!

[teatoastandturmoil]

Earl - I did try not to sing this at the top of my lungs at 4am on election night, but I failed. The senior citizen neighbors here in suburban UK are cutting us both a bit of slack for that. Thank you so much for this - right back to the primary.

[beanchar]

Great job!

[dparline]

Thanks for showing your support of Obama with your talent. YES WE CAN and will!!!

Obama for Change!!!

[moondawg2000]

He'll provide change alright after he takes your dollars!

[dparline]

It takes a some amazing form of ignorance to not know that being president does not give Obama or anyone the power to randomly take your dollars. We are country of checks and balances. Remember we have a House of Representative and Senators. This is America.

[HardcoreHarlen]

so will every other politician, but you know what he is going to give more back than others

[Obamediadotcom]

nice earl

[Mumakata]

Over the last 15 months, weve traveled to every corner of the United States. Ive now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.

Obamatron

[josecanuzzi]

Hey, I'm not as sure as Earl that I'm not a hack, but Mumakata, one of the states you've been to and haven't left is the state of confusion. Consider:

What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review? What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?

There's lots of good reasons to vote for Obama in preference to McCain, and you don't need a band with a couple of hacks to list them.

[Mumakata]

Obama went to a anti-semetic church for 20 years and only quit when it became a political liability. But hey, vote for him because these hacks said to.

[earlyeehawpickens]

Mumakata: You are entitled to your political opinions, silly as they may be. And I won't argue the point that I am a hack, for I probably am — by virtually any definition of the word that you can come up with. But leave the "Barack Obama All-Star Players Band Group Gang" out of this! They are a fine bunch of musicians, beyond reproach and there is nary a hack amongst them. Also, they know karate.

Yrs.,

Earl "Hack" Pickens

From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'...Obama

[NShutterbug]

Have you seen the religious nutballs Palin has had over the years - anti-semitic is a polite way of describing them. And what is less patriotic than wanting Alaska to secede?

[moondawg2000]

What is less patriotic is painting a U.S. President as a War Crimial while Americans are overseas in the middle of a war. You speak the language of Al Queda well. Unpatriotic too is a U.S. Senator that declares the war lost, while U.S. Troops are overseas. These comments and assertions are devoid of patriotism in any way shape or form. My hope is that any President, Senator or Congressman does not place any who volunteer to serve in jeopardy by embolding Al Queda or our enemies.

[NShutterbug]

Bush has killed his own troops unnecessarily - that is why Obama has received 6 times the number of contributions from the military than McCain.

[NShutterbug]

Oh by the way, you don't seem to know that one of Osama Bin Laden's goals was to defeat America economically. Well, the war seems to have done that - I bet Bin Laden (the family has had friendly relations with the Bushes for a long time) is as happy as can be. So the war was unpatriotic, because it has hurt the US very badly.

[ClunkityClunk4Truth]

I am incredibly amused by this video+song.

[fashionmista]

Wow...he memorized that? Sounded great!

[Sailmariner]

Greetings and yeehaw from your most loyal fan in western CT. Keep up the positive messages! You all sound great in vocal harmony, but Earl, you should also feature more of your great solo songs! There are some real gems there!

[greatian1]

From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

[AshyLarry82]

What's your point greatian1? Do you even know?

[greatian1]

AshyLarry: ("ashy" is a black thing no?) Anyway, let me try to adjust my comment to fit your leftist/racist mind...OBAMA IS AN ADMITTED RACIST. Now, take his comment, and add 20 years in a racist black church and what do you get my racist friend? Now, you're catching on Larry. ;) Lose the chip on your shoulder Larry, and see evil for evil... Obama is simply unqualified and way too much of an elitest-racist-communist. Obama will destroy what little freedoms we have left and cost us everything.

[NShutterbug]

Obama, a constitutional professor, has said he will restore what constitutional violations excecuted by Bush/Cheney, who swore to uphold the constitution - but did not. You have it backwards, but then that is what you are - backwards.

[moondawg2000]

Can you tell me any bill that as ritten by Barry or his staff that can be considered an accomplishment? That is a serious question. Barry has none or his supporters would be all over the question. Barry is an empty suit. Check the voting record Hannah, what leader votes present? a leader has a direction, he or she doesn't hold office just to run for another office. You can not offer any commentary about Mr Ayres, Resko or Farrakahn? How about Barrys brother in Kenya?

[moondawg2000]

Bill one - modeled after the Nunn-Lugar bills - Not very creative or earth shaking. So Obama put his name to existing legislation. WOW major accomplishment.

Bill two - looks like another vote present by Barry. How controversial again. This is another lets out my name on a bill.

Bill three - looks again like legislation introduced just to say he introduced legilation. The bill is partisan.

You are looking for the scrap heep to find anything of significance

[NShutterbug]

Obama has about 100 present votes out of 4000. McCain has had the lowest voting attendance in the Senate this year - EVER.

[moondawg2000]

So you do favor infanticide, and condone a man who wants to tax the American people for a global welfare program yet doesn't help his Kenyan half brother who lives in poverty? Do you support Domestic terrorism? Would you accept their help if you were running for office? Would you sit in a church that teaches Liberation Theology for 20 years?

Do you support a man who wants the American taxpayer to support a global welfare program yet wont help his own kenyan half brother who lives in poverty?

[NShutterbug]

Annenberg, a close friend of Reagan, invited Obama and Ayers onto his charity board. Obama has denounced what Ayers did - did Annenberg? How many innocent children were killed in Iraq in an illegal war? Obama was not in church when Rev Wright restated what someone on Fox news said. You are highly misinformed and incredibly biased. Obama is a good Christian man.

[moondawg2000]

A good Christian man? Tell me the Bible verse that says infanticide and partial birth abortion is ok? Tell me why Obama openly campaigned with Kenyan Raila Odinga, whose ran for the Presidency of Kenya with full support of socialists and Muslims?

Does a Good Christian Man allow his half brother to live in a shack in poverty while he has millions of dollars? He has the audacity to ask us to pay for a global welfare program but he doesnt help his own Brother?

[AshyLarry82]

McCain's only accomplishment was interfering with bank regulators on behalf of convicted felon, Charles Keating.

[moondawg2000]

You mean like Dodd and Obama did on behalf of their campaign contributors from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae?

[NShutterbug]

Rick Davis, campaign manager, received $2 million from Freddie and Fannie - up until about a month ago. Obama received nothing from Freddie/Fannie. Your facts are just plain wrong.

[moondawg2000]

Obama uses Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson as econoic advisors. The Center for Responsive Politics show Obamas Fannie and Freddie political contributions. No. 2 is Sen. Barack Obama. Obama Got the most per year. Obama's buddies like Tony Rezko, are indicative how Obama is influenced. Obama and his buddies Chris Dodd and Barney Frank ran cover for the freddie mac and fannie mae abuses. Follow the contributions. Obama is a hack for the greedy idiots who caused the economic crisis.

[NShutterbug]

Franklin Raines has said that he does NOT repeat NOT advise Obama. Jim Johnson was with Fannie and Freddie in the 1900's when they were sound. The deregulation sponsored by Gramm happened at the end of 1999, after Johnson had left. The deregulation in Bush's years killed Freddie and Fannie. You are full of BS.

[moondawg2000]

Jim Johnson was the ideed the head of Fannie mae in the Clinton Years, He Diverted taxpayer monies and lavishly paid himeself 21 million dollars a year working for a Federally Chartered Agency. The Minnesota post says: Accounting scandals, dating back to Johnson's era, have been followed by recent news that Fannie Mae has lost more than $3 billion in the housing slump. Johnson never has been accused of being part of Fannie Mae's accounting irregularities.

Redistribution of wealth for cronies!

[NShutterbug]

Yes, never as so bad as with the Bush admin.

[moondawg2000]

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as Federally Chartered institutions, should not have the ability to contribute to the political campaigns of Democrats or Republicans, Their Executives should be paid fairly but without a pay plan that invites abuse. These positions have unduly influnced public discourse at the publics expense. Most of their camaign contributions have gone to Democrats who cry foul at any attempt to hinder their greed. Let's not Allow Obama to empower then to abuse taxpayers again!

[moondawg2000]

You would agree then that Johnson and his successors should all be investigated for accounting irregularities and that any bonuses paid should be recinded for accounting manipultaion. Do you agredd that both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should not be contributing to any candidate?

[NShutterbug]

Everybody should be investigated if there is any hint of wrongdoing. Bush/Cheney, the Justice Department, Karl Rove should all be investigated and they should show up when subpoeaned. By the way, type "Spoonamore" into YouTube and watch his videos - the 8 segments with Velvet Revolution. Smart, honest, knowledgeable Republican.

[moondawg2000]

What exactly do Karl Rove, President Bush and Vice President have to do with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Keep in Mind that B.O. is running agains John McCain. and your comment only shows your partisanship.

Obama's associations with William Ayres, Frank Davis, Jeremiah Wright, and Louis Farrakahn speak volumes of who he is. Obamas reciept of funds from fannie mae and freddie mac are excessive and indicative of his leanings. Socialism anyone?

[NShutterbug]

I was talking about wrongdoing in general. Murder of innocents comes to mind with respect to the Bush cabal. Walter Annenberg's (close friend of Reagan) association with Ayers is far deeper than that of Obama's. Have you read recent articles by Chicago REPUBLICANS about the absolute lying and distortion of the Ayers connection. Can't wait for the Obama smackdown Wednesday.

[moondawg2000]

Please substantiante the Murder of innocents? Are you referring to Obama's total suuport of partial birth abortions and infanticide?

William Annenberg was hosted by William Ayres? Anneberg, is not running for President, nor George Bush. The evidence of Obama's associations with Frank Davis, Jeremiah Wright Pfalger, Farrahakn coupled with his Senatorial voting record show that Obama is as partisan as possible. He uses class warfare to obtain power, a tactic straight from Socialists.

[NShutterbug]

Walter, not William, Annenberg was a close friend of Ronald Reagan, a President.

[moondawg2000]

Earl,

Can you tell us any legislative accomplishments of Barry? Do you really think that Barry's associations with William Ayres, the terrorist, Tony Rezko the slum Lord and Farrakahn the anti-semite, really qualify him for the highest office in the country?

Do you favor Infanticide?

[hannah0094]

You don't know what you are talking about. If you make decisions based on information from sound bites that are misleading to the point of lies, you might as well stay home on voting day. Your vote would clearly be based on mis-information. (Bad information)

[rburk41]

Obama is a fraud. Please educate yourself, Hannah.

[jtheyellow]

Lugar-Obama nuclear nonproliferation bill, signed Jan. 2007

Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, with Obama, Coburn, Carper and McCain

Dignity for Wounded Warriors Act (as first introduced by Obama, later reintroduced with revisions as Dignified Treatment of Wounded Warriors Act, passed July 2007

Pretty good for three years in the Senate. In closing, chickenbutt.

[rburk41]

Great song, too bad you're hitching its wagon to a nutjob like Barry.

[earlyeehawpickens]

Nutjob? Dude, you're the one who thinks songs have wagons.

EP!

[lewisburgdance]

I love this you guys!  Obama Everywhere, Man!

Lewisburgdance

now in Montague Center :-D

[theresaruf]

YES! I was hoping this song wouldn't die after the PA primaries. It's a great tune! Will have to peep on MySpace now to see if it's available on same. :O)

[theresaruf]

Wait...  Before someone rails on me for being a dolt, I am aware yes, that this is already a remake of sorts of what I believe was a Johnny Cash original. Whew. Hopefully I beat any nasty comments to the punch! :)

[earlyeehawpickens]

Nice save.

[terkitty]

Oh my God. Stop it! Jessie Yamas! Love it.

[earlyeehawpickens]

Jessie Yamas rules.

[ghardcas]

Woops -- clarification! The 'you' in my earlier comment refers to all the people reading, excluding the band (they know who they are). Pay attention to what I'm thinking, folks, not what I say. Jake takes after my favorite drummer, Animal...

[earlyeehawpickens]

I knew what you meant. All the people reading are in this band. Everyone's in the band except you, and we were just about to ask you to join. It was supposed to be a surprise.

So? Are you in? We need a glockenspielist ... golckenspieler? ... We need someone to play the glockenspiel.

[ghardcas]

Oh! Oh! Oh! I'll be right over! I have glockenspiels in all keys, and I'll bring them all (they all fit into a vest that I wear onstage).

[ghardcas]

First Comment! First Comment!

Sorry, I'm easily excited. And I can blame the video for that... great rocking, guys -- love the solo, and I'm not even going to mention the audacious rhymes. Woops, just did.

Keep pushing! Have you volunteered yet?

Obama in 2008!

[earlyeehawpickens]

Volunteer? This band is ALL volunteer, man. Except for the drummer. He's chained to his snare.
