Obama's 'memorable songs' seem more like a list work-shopped by his publicity team, curated to fit the former president's 'I’m whatever you want me to be' image.Former President Barack Obama shared a playlist on Twitter Monday “featuring some memorable songs from my administration.” At the request of my boss, I listened to all of them.Music has always played an important role in my life—and that was especially true during my presidency. In honor of my book hitting shelves tomorrow, I put together this playlist featuring some memorable songs from my administration. Hope you enjoy it. pic.twitter.com/xWiNQiZzN0— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) November...

Ronnie Dunn took to Facebook to criticize the President's speech and leadership calling it "unbelievable." The post resulted in several thousand shares and reactions from Dunn's Facebook followers, many of whom agreed with the singer's observation. But, others criticized Dunn calling him "another Republican Obama hater."

DALLAS, Sept. 9, 2007 – More than 50 servicemembers not only enjoyed front-row seats at a Brooks and Dunn concert here last night, but also were guests at a backstage reception where they got a handshake and the personal thanks of the country music giants. Members of the 14th Marine Artillery Regiment stationed at Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base in Texas and Donald Esmond, senior vice president of Toyota and host of a party to honor America's troops, pose for a picture in Dallas, Sept. 8, 2007.

I had to leave early, during "I Go Back." Loved the concert overall, especially the Brooks and Dunn change to "Only in America." They changed the lyrics to the bridge the same way they did for the 2004 Republican convention. Instead of "she came out here to be an actress..." they changed it to "Some men they dream of fame and fortune / some men help to pay the rent / some give their lives to save our freedom / heroes we never will forget" As they were singing, a group of (?all?) Marines, in dress blues, appeared on stage....

I have things to do in Philadelphia that day. I'd like to go later (show starts at 4:30). I don't know, however, who's first or what the overall sequence is (except that probably Brooks and Dunn is next to last and Mr. Chesney is last). I hope it isn't Pat Green who's first. If anyone has information, please post. Thanks.

I noticed that the lead singer (a bearded gentleman in a denim jacket) had a medal of some sort on his right jacket pocket, during the "Only in America" performance that followed the Cheney speech. What was it? Thanks.
