Lyrics to Man for Me (Ode to Barack)

www.maddywyatt.com

Mama, I'm in love
I know he's kind of skinny
But I just can't help it
He is preaching something new.

He is calling every night
And asking me to fight the fight with him for freedom,
It's a dreamy point of view.

He believes in honesty and
Tax cuts for the poor
And I don't think I'm gonna
Lack a leader anymore.

CHORUS:
Barack Obama!
His truth just sets you free
Barack Obama! Mama,
He's the man for me.

The senator from Illinois
Was once a little boy in Honolulu
Pomaika i'no, Kamaha' o (How fortunate, remarkable!)

Was it sunlight on the surf
That showed him what he's really worth
And gave him faith in the audacity of hope

His policy on greehouse gas is
Totally the best
His daddy came from Kenya and his
Mom from the Midwest

(CHORUS)

Mr. Lincoln let me curl up on that Monumental lap
Can you hear me, I am callin' up to you
You might think a girl from Texas could Take pride in recognizing
That the country once again is split in two
But I've been in this red state feelin' blue
Ba-ba-ba-ba, bara-bara, Barack

Oh Mama, did you see him
At that podium in Springfield
He's got eyes that give a worried woman Peace.

And we've been stuck inside a lie that Brought the nation to its knees,
Somewhere in those eyes I see a chance for Our release.

You might say we're young and we can't Handle what's in store
Who else but the young are left to battle Through this war?

CHORUS

Barack Obama!
Your truth just sets me free
Barack Obama!
You're the man for me,

Reflect your hope on me,
Project your hope on me.

(Pomaika i'no Kamaha' o!)

CHANGE IS ON THE WAY
(A tribute to Barack Obama) Change -- Change -- Change
Change is on the way.
CHange -- Change -- Change
Change is on the way.

Baby, let me tell you,
I've been up, down,
kicked around,
head over heels.
I see your face,
you're the same way too.
You've been so low,
touch and go,
you know how it feels.

But, hey -- but, hey -- hey!
Listen to me, when I say...

That I feel...
-- Change!
It's in the air!
-- Change!
It's everywhere!
-- Change!
... and we aint gonna pass this way again.
-- Change!
So, take my hand,
-- Change!
and take a stand.
-- Change!
I know together, baby, we can win! Yes!

With a little faith.
-- Faith!
With a little hope.
-- With a little hope!
With a little joy.
Change is on the way!

With a little trust.
-- Trust!
With a little courage.
-- Courage!
In a little while...
Change is on the way!

CHange -- Change -- Change
Change is on the way.
CHange -- Change -- Change
Change is on the way.

Baby, it's a strange time.
We're on a rocky road, overload,
feeling confused.
I look around, and it blows my mind.
It's been so wrong, for so long.
I'm feeling abused.

But, hey -- but, hey -- hey!
Listen to me, when I say...

That I feel...
-- Change!
It's in the air!
-- Change!
It's everywhere!
-- Change!
... and we all have the freedom
to make the choice.
-- Change!
So, take my hand,
-- Change!
and take a stand.
-- Change!
Express yourself, baby. Raise your voice!

With a little faith.
-- Faith!
With a little hope.
-- With a little hope!
With a little joy.
Change is on the way!

With a little trust.
-- Trust!
With a little courage.
-- Courage!
In a little while...
Change is on the way!

We are strong enough,
to weather the road,
till the race has been won.
We can step into the sun.
I got to believe that!

With a little faith.
-- Faith!
With a little hope.
-- With a little hope!
With a little joy.
Change is on the way!

With a little trust.
-- Trust!
With a little courage.
-- Courage!
In a little while...
Change is on the way!

CHange -- Change -- Change
Change is on the way.
CHange -- Change -- Change
Change is on the way.

Musicians and Politics - Barbara Streisand

Barbara Streisand has written a blog that is pretty well thought out. It is a good read and it provide DETAILS. Not just mindless statements but details with source information (which is always a big plus for me).

You can check out her blog at: http://www.barbrastreisand.com/index.php?page=statements&n_id=854

Here is just some of the information that she included:

John McCain on Veteran Affairs:
2006 Rating from Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America: D

Veterans Benefits

• May 2008: McCain is currently opposed to the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act (S 22), proposed by Senators Jim Webb and Chuck Hagel, to raise GI benefits to a level similar to those received by WWII vets. The maximum benefit would cover tuition for veterans for up to 4 years at the in-state public university level.

Troop Withdrawal

• September 2007: McCain voted against the Webb amendment calling for adequate troop rest between deployments.

• July 2007: McCain voted against a plan to draw down troop levels in Iraq.
• June 2006: McCain voted against a resolution that Bush start withdrawing troops that year, but did not state a deadline to do so.

Veteran Health Care

• May 2006: McCain voted against an amendment that would provide $20 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs for health care facilities.
• April 2006: McCain was one of only 13 Senators to vote against $430,000,000 for the Department of Veteran Affairs for Medical Services for outpatient care and treatment for veterans.
• March 2006: McCain voted against increasing Veterans medical services funding by $1.5 billion in 2007 to be paid for by closing corporate tax loopholes.
• March 2004: McCain voted against creating a reserve fund to allow for an increase in Veterans' medical care by $1.8 billion by eliminating abusive corporate tax loopholes.

Troop Armor

• October 2003: McCain voted to table an amendment that called for an additional $322 million for safety equipment for United States forces in Iraq and to reduce the amount provided for reconstruction in Iraq by $322 million.
• April 2003: McCain urged other Senate members to table a vote (which never passed) to provide more than $1 billion for National Guard and Reserve equipment in Iraq related to a shortage of helmets, tents, bullet-proof inserts and tactical vests.

Political Song of the Day

We'll Get There by Cathy Block.

Refreshing to see so many people wanting to get involved. I find it hopefulness better than hopelessness any day.

Dave Stewart's American Prayer Lyrics

LYRICS

This is my American Prayer
This is my American Prayer

This is the time to finish what you started
And this is no time to dream
This is the room
We can turn off the dark tonight
Maybe then we might see

American Prayer
American Prayer

And this is the ground
That keeps our feet from getting wet
And this is the sky over our head
And what you see depends on where you stand
And how you jump will tell you where you're gonna land

American Prayer
American Prayer

My oh my
Couldn't get much higher
Lets not kick out the darkness
Make the light brighter

And these are the hands
What are we gonna build with them?
This is the church you can't see
Give me your tired, your poor and huddled masses
You know they're yearning to breathe free
This is my American Prayer
American Prayer
American Prayer

When you get to the top of the mountain
Will you tell me what you see
If you get to the top of the mountain
Remember me

My Question for the Day

Why are people still stroking Hillary Clinton's ego? Her grandstanding is wearing very thin for me. - AThinkingMind
