With the exception of Kris Kristofferson, and MAYBE Bently, I don’t see any real Country Music artists on that list. Where are Alan Jackson, George Strait, Hank Jr., Merle, etc.?

BTT!

Exactly. Never realized that Taylor was country. Kraus should know better. She and her band use to practice three doors down from house in Johnson City, TN back before fame came along. She is a cutie.

Just a pathetic, lame attempt to get the “country” voter. Going to NASCAR just wasn’t enough, I guess.

NASCAR, now country music in the White House...oh oh if Obama would just ride a bull in a rodeo I would vote for him for sure.
Not really of course but don’t tell him that.

If she gets booed will FR allow a thread if it happens at the WH. Can’t figure out why they keep pulling the thread when it is all over the net including at Breitbart.
