I'm sure he came up with the idea all on his own and was never in communication with Team Obama.

“is written from the point of the view of a voter who casts his ballot solely on the basis of race”

Given roughly 95 percent of all blacks voted for Obama, I take it that he must be talking about them. On the other hand, perhaps not. I just cannot bring myself to listen to the noise.

>>The song has the refrain “I’m dreaming of a white president” and is written from the point of the view of a voter who casts his ballot solely on the basis of race.<<

The only voters voting purely on race are Black voters (and still many democrats). If this was based on ability, obozo would poll 20% at best.

Randy Newman is still alive? I haven't heard of him since the ‘80s.

You can always trust Randy Newman to talk about the elephant in the room.

Oh BS. It's only in the room because this idiot chooses to PUT it in the room. Pinko commie marxist libs are the only ones obsessed by race.

I liked his other song better....left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot

Randy evidently has little knowledge of math.

Hey, H-woodboy, check what percentage of how many “racist” whities voted for the Obamadork, then check the percentage of non-racist blacks that voted for the idiot.

In any case, Randy, you are both a racist and an idiot.

Stick to music, you’re good at that.

Leave the other higher order brain functions to your superiors.

The only people worried about Obama’s race are liberals.

I hate Jimmy Carter, Jane Fonda, all the Kennedys, that queer from MA whose name I forget, John Kerry, Joe Biden, et al., no more or less than I hate Obama.

I have no doubt that he did. These people all think alike. They cannot conceive that it is Democratic ideas which are brain dead stupid, there must be some OTHER reason why people would oppose a Democrat President, and it must be because he's BLACK!

As one wit once put it, "No, that's why you got hired. We're firing you because you're no D@mn good."

These people should have been listening to what we said about Clinton. (Or Jimmy Carter, for that matter.)

Did you ever notices how entertainers and people who play make believe for a living (actors) seem to think they know as much as people who actually produce things and work for a living?

I was in Barnes & Noble the day and there was a guy sipping coffee and working on his laptop to which he had put a sticker on the top and aligned it so that you could easily read it when it was open. It read, “I’m not racist. I hate Biden too.”.

But, my Tagline still says it best.

The song has the refrain “I’m dreaming of a white president” and is written from the point of the view of a voter who casts his ballot solely on the basis of race.

Give me a break. That's exactly what 96% of the 'African-Americans' did. They voted for their race. Obama was put into office because of the white support he was given. The DNC had buttons saying "Once you vote black you never go back." Who are the real racists here?

I'm going to take the one Randy Newman CD that I own and smash it to smithereens. Randy Newman, you are a loser and YOU SUCK!

Just another reminder, in case anyone has forgotten, that Obama voters are obsessed by race. Its how they see the world; for them its impossible to ignore race. They can’t do it so they assume no one can.

Of course, they are also socialists, die-hard socialists. So if the DNC candidate was white, they would still vote Dem. And if Allen West was the GOP candidate, they would still vote Dem. Socialism is their true religion, but its layered over with a generous coating of race obsession.

So, a note to any lurkers out there. If race and socialism are your religion, the DNC is your party. If you aren’t obsessed by race and you aren’t a socialist, then the GOP is probably your party. But be prepared for the endless accusations of racism on the part of the race-obsessed. Its who they are and its all they’ve got.
