One of Harry Chapin's final songs before he was killed in a car crash in 1981. Almost seems like he was singing about Barack Obama.

  • Ha ha.... I had forgotten about this song. Not really a dig on the current President this could apply to any President that has "served" in the last 45 years and probably the next 45. Could we replace "Hail to the Chief" with this song????

    A true artist taken away much too soon..........

  • It always reminded me of Jimmy Carter.

  • umm how would you connect Barack Obama to this song? He didn't have a silver spoon - unlike the song. He did want to help the poor but in power has served the interests of the rich - similar to the song yes. He does want to be president - unlike the song. 1 out of 3. Other presidents would be more apt comparisons. Whether you like Obama or not this is a REALLY lame point you make connecting this song to BO. Fail.

  • A lame-duck Obama is a powerful weapon for those who also like Harry, I believe.

  • Does remind me of President Obama.
