much as i love and adore Ani, i have to agree with a previous poster. this is just corny. the lyrics don't have any poetic depth, it sounds like she's a twelve year old kid singing to a boy she fell in love with.

come on Ani, we're all glad he won, but enough already.

I love the lyric "And the neighborhood was a neighborhood like it hadn't been in years. Fuck yeah! This campaign has been amazing, a time where the country again cares about our government. Regardless of how you vote, I appreciate people who vote. Women, African Americans - it wasn't that long ago that we could NOT vote.

Wow, how have so many Scary Radical Republican Types (SRRT) found this YouTube video? Those of you who believed the USA could have survived another GOP government, and actually voted, thankfully, were the minority. Huge chunks of your country are being bought at bargain basement prices, by those of us who are not USA citizen's. Up here, we want/need you to be prosperous because you are our biggest client. Who wants a poor neighbour living next door.

Wonder if she's still so thrilled with obama....

[emilyjacksonroy]

All the years of loving Her music...this is the only thing that I despise. Bohemian Grove...that's all that I have to say.

[OpiumButt]

In twenty years we will look back at this song much like we look back at Ice Ice Baby now.

I closed the browser while she was saying "...y'know this is my last tour...". Had a heart attack. And had to find the link again just to hear her say "...this year...". {phew}

Ani needs to go back to picking her nose. This is so disappointing.

[jamescaptainfarrell]

Obama is a puppet for Big Banking and the NWO!

[alittlebluesy]

What a bummer. I thought Ani had the wisdom to know that it's the same plan with a different face.

[sliceslaer]

i agree.

i vomited all over myself.

[Ethaaang]

this is absolutely repulsive.

i have never thrown up more in my entire life.

i am embarrassed for her in so many ways.

.......disgusting.
