Hey Island muffin... smartest president was Bush II, right? Ignorant? You ever hear of Keynes - oh just what Faux news tells you, I'm sure. Head filled with Murdoch's rightwing agitprop. Obama is busy cleaning up after the most incompetent and venal adminstration in American history. The one that will go down in the books (if there are books in the future, after global warming) as the worst in American history
Hope MaObama does not completely destroy America before we – The American People - can vote the most divisive, most arrogant, most economically ignorant, worst president in US history out of office.
But Obama is so terrible – so much worse than anyone could have imagined - that he may actually destroy America before then…
A very good song ! Thank you for thist little (great) "Highlight" in the year 2008! By the way: "Herb, I wish you by this way all the best, a little bit late but I hope not to late to your "special" birthday !" Greetings from Ventschau.
Love the song. One of my favorites. FYI, I've had to research Obama songs from across the world (for work). You would not believe the number of Obama songs out there. After listening to close to 3000 from across the globe (and I'm still not done), you start to see how shockingly large this movement is. If you're into Obama songs (or just want to see how far this has spread), I linked in my "favorites" on my channel 150 Obama songs that were my favorites... Just click on my name and enjoy...
I've seen & heard this one a dozen times, but the music + the ideas really hold up. Listen up & learn America; dumb is out & smart is back to stay. I'm speaking about politics & music. Enough of this "I'm not so smart but I got money". Have someone read a newspaper to you about where all our misspent money has gone & is going!
Very hip Herbie. I only hope America gets hip. I saw Charles McPherson play Sunday night. I said to a friend, "He may be the greatest alto alive now that Johnny Griffin's gone." I forgot about you brother. You're beautiful and vital. Thank you.
Thank you my dear friend for this song. It's really great that you dediced to make this statement! When musicians come out and do things like this we know that something went very wrong in politics or that somehting really good is about to begin. We need Obama. The world needs Obama. One Bush is enough! You have many friends and fans in Portugal.
All the best,
João

I just knew, when I saw the title, that it was going to turn out to be a take-off on the old Al Jolson hit, "I'm Alabamy Bound".
Very funny.

Herb Geller, he knows "the sound" as the great creative mind he is...
