French Musicians to Compose Obama’s 2012 Anthem
le Figaro in English ^ | January 10 2012 | Brenna M. T. Daldorph

Two young French songsters from Bordeaux have been chosen to write the official song of the 2012 Obama campaign for reelection.

The song entitled What More is scarcely finished. Yet beginning in March, it will become the official hymn of the Barack Obama campaign.

Obama chose two young French musicians, Tony Jazz and Mathieu Billon, to create a song that would rejuvenate his image 

“It is a song directed at young people,” said Tony Jazz.

The song itself is composed from American soul singer Al Green’s song What More Do You Want From Me integrated with clips of Obama’s speeches.

This is not a story of connections in the right places, it is simply a story of talent. Jazz became a fan of Obama starting with the democratic primaries of 2008. When Obama finally won the election, Jazz decided to create a clip commemorating the event.

The clip made it all the way to the White House and meant that the young musician was able to meet with Charles Rifkin, the US ambassador in France. Shortly after, Tony Jazz was contacted by the Barack Obama campaign.

More foreign campaign contributions for Barack Insane Membrane.

Why not, he’ll again open up his paypal account to illegal international donations again for “music downloads” or some other non-shipped “product” he “sold” in his online “store”.

These lyrics fit the narcissist’s meme that America has failed him.

This was King Zippy's first choice but Queen Highpockets nixed it:

Eric Clapton - Cocaine

WT ....heck?!?
French? Writing a song for Barry? Is he surrendering?

Anywho, I thought Barry's 'song' was written yeeeeeears ago. By those chaps, George Roger Waters and David Jon Gilmour.
It was THIS: Comfortably Numb (ObamaDeathCare anyone?).

And yeah, 'those chaps', are better known as 'Roger Waters' and 'David Gilmour', even better known as, Pink Flyod.

Great song pick. Perfect for Barry.
btw, Clapton is my 'guitar god'.
when I 'grow up' I'd like to play 1/3 as good as Slowhand does. (I'm 63, I better hurry ;-))

btw, You do know that when Eric performs this song now he's changed the words. He trashes Cocaine pretty good, hoping 'the kids' get the message.

Then you can remember the days when grafitti proclaiming "Clapton Is God!" was not uncommon.....

“Let’s expatriate him to France...”
Romney’s father & grandfather were born in Mexico.... great granddad fled to Mexico with his 11 wives to escape the Utah ban on polygamy. Married #12 in Mexico.
Technically, he is a citizen of Mexico, and if deported, they would have to take him.
CHRISTMAS IN JANUARY FOR OBAMA!

Stop me if you’ve already heard this one:

I would have thought that Obama’s 2012 anthem would be a Rap song written and rapped by Ludacris. You know, just to relate to the black community.

When was the last time a French musician had a hit in America?
