President Obama had another one of those off-Teleprompter moments the other day. They seem to be coming more and more frequently as he looks in the mirror and sees the face of failure staring back.
Has President Obama been listening to a lot of Jimi Hendrix lately? With just under two months to go before Election Day, Obama kicked off the fall campaign season Monday with an aggressive speech targeting Republicans. But it was an off-script moment in the speech that’s attracted the most attention, as Obama accused his GOP critics of talking about him “like a dog.”…
Though Obama didn’t acknowledge it, the line was a verbatim quote from “Stone Free,” the first song Hendrix wrote after moving to England in 1966. “They talk about me like a dog,” the song says. “Talkin about the clothes I wear. But they don’t realize they’re the ones who’s square.”
If the President wanted to quote some lyrics that more accurately reflect the situation we find ourselves in today, he should have gone with Hendrix’ version of Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower”:
“There must be some kind of way out of here”
Said the joker to the thief
“There’s too much confusion,
I can’t get no relief”

barry can't quote Jimi. Jimi was a breaker of racial barriers and dated all white chicks. Barry hates whites, this doesn't work-no hendrix for barry-besides, he said what he has on his ipod-nothing but rap-the guy is a hood rat in a nice suit-those guys not only don't listen to hendrix-but they would never think of it!
I think it's a muslim thing. Being called a dog is about the most serious insult you could direct at a muslim without mentioning the prophet Moe.
I thought it was, "May you eat pork."
I thought Obama's song was "Send it the Clowns", or "NoWhere Man"
