Legendary Bluegrass Artist Ralph Stanley Endorses Barack Obama

Legendary Bluegrass Artist Ralph Stanley Endorses Barack Obama

Transcript:

"Howdy Friends, This is Ralph Stanley, and I think I know a little somethin' about the families around here. And after the last eight years, I know we all need a change. Now, nobody's lookin' for a handout, but I think we could use a leader who's on our side. And I believe that leader's Barack Obama. Barack'll cut taxes for everyday folks, not big business, so you'll have a little more money in your pocket at the end of the year. He understands that our kids shouldn't have to leave our communities to find work. That's why Barack'll make it easier to send your children to college, and help create five million new jobs, by investin' right here at home. I also know Barack is a good man, a father and a devoted husband. He values personal responsibility, and family first. So please join me, Ralph Stanley, in supporting a true friend of the people, who live right here in South-west Virginia. Barack Obama is the Change We Need."

Its not about race so stop using the race card. Its about how much a phoney Obama is. You would think after being elected he would want to make a name for himself, and honor people likeDR. Marten Luther King. But no its all about is own personal agenda. He makes decisions that no so called Christian will make.Also the proof is there that he isnt a natural born citizen. I hope it bites him in the ass someday.

comon ralph... what has any of those damn Yankees ever done for you or our southern kin... nothing, obama couldnt give a shit about me or my famil

[TheDaddyshane]

Dr. Ralph, I wonder if you feel that same way now. How much did they pay you for that lie, a good man, the most liberal man that was in the Senate. Love your music though and respect your view, but disagree with this endorsement.

[SuperPiggy77]

I don't like obama. I love Ralph though!

[RealTime88]

Amendment One folks!! Famous or not the man can endorse whoever he wants!!!

[jsparrow7984]

If you were paid ALOT of money to say you are for Obama, wouldnt you do it too?

Ralph is one of my very favorite bluegrall musicians. I have most of his and Carter's music. Personal autograph but, when he endorced obama big time I had to wonder. He was praising a man no one knew anything about. Not one student of obama's has ever came public or any old girlfriend. He just appeared. With obama voters still out there he might just get re-elected. He is supposed to have over $1,000,000,000.00 (That is billion) so he can buy his next race. USA/RIP.

So what do you think now of your Messiah in 2011? I guess it's difficult to think as one gets older ? You know..........to be able to see the agenda of trying to distroy the country and setting it up for Communism that your great man, and his camp is secretly working toward. They will not succeed. You need to keep to your music. I used to respect you.........now I do not. You have become a Bama-lacky.
