Bright Eyes - When The President Talks To God - Live at ULU

Conor performs this song on the day he wrote it.
He even has to sing it with the lyrics on a stand, and messes up some of the phrasing!

@glowingcactus I hate to say it, but look up the Balefore agreements back in the early 1900's and you'll learn testaments as to how the states inherited britains problems and why our friends are out there in the field shooting and being shot at. its all just a shame, but what has to be done has to be done. I dont know what would happen if we werent over sea's, but i do know its a lose lose situation.

You mad bro?

@madzangels and if watching videos by bands i like, then afterward going to make a comment, seeing somebody as stupid as yourself commenting some bullshit, and giving my opinion on yours is considered trolling, I GUESS I'M GUILTY! hahaha and if that is trolling, what is what you're doing called? going to bands you don't like, on songs you don't listen to, commenting on shit you don't care about? hahaha.. didn't mom ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say, then shut the fuck up!?

@madzangels haha. i wasn't asking for clarification, thanks. i was making a point; you sit and talk shit about somebody speaking out about things that are wrong in the world? actually oberst is unique, for your information, because he actually does make a difference in peoples lives.

you're simply asking for somebody like myself, with different opinions, to argue with you by commenting on shit you don't even like with stupid baseless insults. why would you even say anything?

[BurningOrchids]

The thing that irks me is he played at an Obama event and Obama's like Bush on steroids. Even more war, death, torture, bankruptcy and corporate handouts. None the less, the song is amazing.

[glowingcactus]

im a bit young and i really dont understand why???? we are sending people over in the middle east to die? whyyyy? i dont even know what country they are in now. can someone explain? i thought obama wanted the troops sent home? why are they there? my theory is that when he got in to office he learned some secret that for some reason the government hides from us. and that secret means we need to keep fighting?

[madzangels]

@hateboardlove I stick to my original comment - I don't need to contextualize it for morons sorry.

You spend your days trolling for opininos against yours, so you can vent some underlying anger you have.

You are the major FAIL sunshine :)

[TomSplasky]

I love You conor.

@burnintrees420 : conor > barack + george...it's that simple...the politicians have their own interests in mind...we've got to pull the political system back into the realm of reality...debt needs to be reduced...these stupid wars need to be stopped...(esp., iraq was a mistake -- THERE WERE NO WMD...HELLO???)...
