I liked the “We the People” song that incorporated the March on Washington. I’m not sure who sang it.

Your problem is that you are thinking logically. The very act of speaking (or singing) against Obama in any way makes one a racist.

--likewise,--I first heard it lip-synched by a rodeo clown at the Belle Fourche, SD 4th July rodeo and about fell out of my bleacher seat laughing.

He also did an incredible rendition of Misty( normally a musty old waltz song) and put a zing into it and got a bunch of rewards. He can be quite a serious talent as well!

Thanks Lucy Jo. Lloyd has our anthem song. Nothing against Ray Stevens. He is great; but Lloyd is our lead anthem song.
