This is an attempt to take a song I like and turn it political. I'd really like to hear your thoughts... I didn't use the instrumental and I hope it doesn't get too hard, but it was easier for me to sing along while her words were in the background. Don't forget to press play!
{{Disclaimer: The end won't be a perfect match (at all), but you get the point.

McCain and Palin go too far
And they won’t heal my country’s fragile heart
Four hundred years have caused some ugly scars
But they don’t seem to really get that part
McCain and Palin go too far
After the ratings fell, he chose her
Thought it would make things somehow take a turn
I’m glad he did cuz maybe now they’ll learn
I must admit it helped a little bit
At first they loved her now she’s stepped in sh*t
Forever captured in those SNL skits
But I’m glad they see what happens when
You see they can’t just rile up people’s feelings
Link him to terrorists and claim unfair treatment
When Lewis cautions that they play with fire
All Obama does is touch and inspire
Ha ha ha ha ha
McCain and Palin go too far
Had bad intentions from the very start
Reports of “kill him” shade all their talks
These tricks a common, right wing art
McCain and Palin go too far
Beliefs and morals aren’t addressed at all
Roles reversed it would be no contest
It should be clear Obama is the best
Oooh ahhh…
I must admit some worry, just a bit
To hear the hatred that some people vent
This racial tension has built up over years
And now they are just feeding into those fears
You see they can’t appreciate the meaning
He gives us hope for change, he’s unyielding
To threats and scheme and those with words unkind
Let’s take a stand this Obama’s time
But, but but but no no no nooo…
This is no comfort to my country’s heart
Split down the middle causing us so much pain
I can’t describe how I long for the day
OOohhh But until… (but until)
Eleven four (eleven four)
When we all stand together
cast our vote (cast our vote)
And the polls close, what a day
I can’t wait
But until… (but until)
Eleven four (eleven four)
When we all stand together
cast our vote (cast our vote)
And the polls close, what a day
I can’t wait
….
McCain and Palin go too far

It's almost unreal... 2008
If you were a betting man, and you saw this year coming, you would be filthy rich right now. Globally, Nationally and Personally, I didn't see most of this ish coming, and while some of it is pretty bad, some of it has been good. The year is still young though.
* Who would have bet on Barack Obama winning the democratic nomination a year or two ago? Some people may have seen this one coming, but he was still a relative newcomer, especially to those who don't follow politics that closely. I remember talking to my cousin in her kitchen during those months she and her husband graciously allowed me to crash there about Barack and Hillary. I hadn't made up my mind at that point, but I was listening to all of the talk very seriously. I watched YouTube video's on Barack and read some of his Bio. I even got to see him in person when he came to College Park to speak (He smiled at me - I have proof). I did something that I tend to shy away from when I present discussion topics - I took a firm stand.
On 12/12/07, I sent a note to all my family and friends throwing all of my support behind Barack Obama and Our Cause. Since then I have been a strong supporter and as the days count down to the election, I find myself in a very high strung state. I know I will probably cry either way, but for very different reasons. His victory would mean so much to this country and this world. His loss would be a devastating blow, and I actually fear what the country would look like under a McCain/Palin administration. Whoever the next president is will have to face some of the most difficult challenges a president has ever faced. His first term will be merciless, and yet, with Obama as our leader, I do think we would find our way out of this economic darkness, energy crisis and educational decline. I will continue to pray for this.
* Who would have bet that the Iraq War would still be going on in 2008? Ok, most of us would probably have taken this bet, afterall, we are still in the Bush administration. What may be more surprising to us is the strong stance opposing leaders have taken against the US and President Bush, especially while speaking on such a public forum as the United Nations. First Chavez calls Bush the devil in an otherwise eloquent speech, and now Iran's president (I'm not even going to try to spell his name on my own and I don't feel like googling it, I'm on a roll) is giving Bush the thumbs down sign in front of the world. Not to mention calling him a N*... just a joke for my MBA friends. But seriously...
Russia is invading Georgia, Bush thinks they've taken over Atlanta. Darfur is still in turmoil, Haiti is entirely underwater and Houston/Galveston is in shambles. They are blowing up hotels in Pakistan and breaking millions of records in smog covered Beijing. It's been amazing to watch.
*Personally, well, I'm alive, and kicking. I'm loving school even though it's working me over right now, and I love the new place. Work could have it's challenges, but at this point I'm paying the bills and negotiating better working conditions which is great. The year has had it's ups and downs, but considering the state I could be in, I'm doing darn good. It looks like I'll be blogging more which makes me happy too. One of my friends said she admired the fact that I was a "true romantic" still, and I must say I think she's right. I'm still hoping that one day the right guy will find me, appreciate/adore/cherish me, marry me, have children with me, and love me until my last breath. Stay tuned.
