Commenter Sings About Obama (VIDEO)

Last week HuffPost user VotingThisTime shared his original song showing support for President Obama. I applaud his creativity, and want to highlight his music to make sure it doesn't go unseen.

I also want to open up the opportunity for all to share their creativity with the HuffPost community.

• "Obama Work Together"

• "Obama"

  "Sure, his decision to come out (if you'll pardon the expression!:) in favor of gay marriage might cost him his reelection, but it was the right thing to do. It showed courage and leadership. "Obama He's up for the fight Obama He'll do what's right." These are some of the lyrics to a song I wrote in support of the President.

To the tune of the Beatles "Come Together"
Here comes O-ba-ma
He's the lea-der of our nation
He's got high expectations
For the future situation
He's just tryin' to do what
We hired him to do
Got to fix this healthcare
Cause it's long overdue....
[music/talk]
Got Republicans blockin'
Democrats duckin' and dodgin'
Independents rockin'
Back and forth in the boat
What we need is
Co-operation
From BOTH sides of the aisle
Wonder if good gub-mint ever come back in style?

Land of the free
And the
Home of the brave
All the world's watchin'
We can't let it cave
Cause united we stand
Divided we fall
All for one and one for all
We've GOT ta stand tall--
WORK TOGETHER, right now

He is way more famous than Achilles ever war. Then again back in those days there were extremely powerful warriors, which is a rare thing in this modern age.

American Idol on Huffingtonpost? Well, let's hope it doesn't get THAT bad. ;)

It would be a great idea to compare how this nation has came about full circle between the transition of the Bush years to where we are now, what have the Republicans done to safe graces among the American people we have had many distractions from the GOP in Washington.So many questions for the Bush legacy over strange explaining about things happening before 911, the excuses used to invade Iraq which caused this country billions to how much money was made with the war in Iraq.The legacy from Bush 43 and now the on going war in Afghanistan and strangely enough the way those Republicans in government that continue to keep what in many Americans opinion is the same tearing down of the American economy by fighting hard to reserve those same tax cuts. We are being told the tax cuts are for those job creators, but fact is Corporate profits have been the greatest in all time and no one is creating jobs when the money is available. Have this Washington trend for the GOP been ever so harsh and hateful that the GOP is willing at all cost ruined the country!

I think that this is a great way to express yourself. Good idea MacGregor. ;-)

Great idea 'Mac' but I wonder will this become an idea that gets a lot of participation and generate a huge need for moderation. Are all Huffposters invited to participate or just those who can keep a 'civilized tongue in their mouths'.

Great question
I want folks to be able to have fun here, but would definitely prefer to keep insults to a minimum. That may be a contradiction, but the idea is to encourage creativity (hopefully) in a positive way :)

I will definitely do my best to add something creative to the thread. Another idea I would like to put forth is, why not create a section for where music lovers can post and share their favorite tunes. A year or so ago many of our posters would commandeer a thread and post their music favorites and chat about what types of music they liked..I believe a lot of us would welcome having the opportunity to do it again, but be legit in doing so. There are other sites that do this on Fridays, so perhaps we could do the same.

As enigma pointed out,and Mac you know well what has gone on previously. I am a music lover and a musician but always avoided those threads. Persona linsults and group fights were randomly taking place. If grown ups fail to behave ,heavy moderation is a must. Thanks for a great idea..Gypsy

Gypsy! Hi there! I would love to see some positive feedback on this thread. There are many many talented people who visit, why not let them 'strut their stuff'. Yep, we are the 'oldsters' now, gypsy..hopefully we do those who were here before us proud.

To the tune of "Ben" as sung by Michael Jackson from the movie "Willard"

Mitt, the GOP should look some more.
You made your money sending jobs offshore.
'Put their pensions in your till and stuck us with the bill
And you my friend will be a lousy nominee (a lousy nominee)

Mitt, you've been flip-flopping here and there (here and there)
Soon, you won't be wanted anywhere (anywhere)
If you ever look behind and don't like what you find
There's something you should know; that Seamus had to go (that Seamus had to go)

You gave us all Romneycare
But you just can't go there.
(You gave us all Romneycare)
(But you just can't go there)

Mitt most people will turn you away. (turn you away)
They just can't believe a word you say. (a word you say)
They will see you as I do; dishonest through and through.
Perhaps you just should quit. We don't need a twit like Mitt

A twit
Like Mitt
A twit
Like Mi-i-itt
