Ethel Anticipated Barack Obama and Today’s Democrats

Still, it seems this late great Republican sang what should become the theme song for the Obama Democrats.

seriously, are you trying to prop up a woman who’s been dead 25 years as the anti-Streisand or something.
2: That’s “And the Money Kept Rolling In”, not pouring. Sorry, but I think in the next few years (at least) you folks are in for a big surprise if you think Obama’s planning on turning this country into some kind of Chavez run state.
