How stupid! I don't support Obama but if you put a song out there, expect it to be played. Sam Moore must be an idiot.

I agree. All these people who ever wrote a song or did anything that later a band might play, etc., are only showing their moronic side. They ought to be glad someone is playing the darn thing. I never hear music from a candidate and assume the songwriter endorses that candidate. This foolishness needs to stop; this isn't the first time this has happened.

Well said. I'm sure everyone remembers the "Born in the USA" scandal...

I went to an Obama rally last month and they played a ton of R&B/Soul songs all the way from Otis Redding to India.Arie.

John Mellonhead went after several Americans for using his songs! Oh and so did The Boss.

Sam should be able to do the same
thing!

What's going on?(I'm not campaigning or trying to make money off it so Marvin Gaye's Estate won't run me down):o)
According to alot of the stories circulating, Obama has been getting the majority of the black votes and their backing, and it's even been insinuated that many blacks are voting for Obama just because he is black. So what happened with Sam Moore? He actually ment what his song said,
Hey Obama, Hold On, I'm coming!
Go Sam!! Use your Constitutional Rights!!!

To actually answer the question instead of blasting a racist fool, let me explain a simple fact. Sam has no rights to his song. Zero, zip, zilch. It belongs to the company that produced it. If they want Obama to use it, he's more then welcome too. That legal mumbo jumbo is a pisser isn't it folks?
In closing, turn off nascar and read a book.

If your a brother in Christ you would not like Obama either!! Yes, he is black, but he is not a brother in Christ he doesn't even beleive in him. That is pretty obvious when he said the pledge he would not say UNDER GOD... The problem is MOST black are so racist themselves they would vote for a monkey just because it was black!! You vote for president based on their background and intelligence to run a country. What does Sadam JR have, NOTHING!! You think you have all the facts about this song. Sam Moore has asked him to stop!!

Yeah im sure a little guy with horns and pitchfork is going to torture me in another deminsion for all of eternity. Seriously what kind of dungeons and dragons bullshit do you people buy into?
As for Sam Moore, again, he doesnt OWN the RIGHTS to the song. He can ask all he wants but who cares? As long as the producers are ok with it Barak, your next President, has every right to it.
And mom of 2, if you want to chastise somebody, how about the racist asshole wanting to hang a presidential candidate? I personally can't wait for the Secret Service to put you under a jail.
In closing, there is no god, Barak is your next president, and mom of 2 is a clueless bitch.

Your right the little guy with horns and a pitch fork is going to torture you one day, IF you don't get your act together. I am not even replying to you anymore, because I am a GOD FEARING WOMAN, and I am praying for lost souls like you!! I am ONLY responding to you to say... I really feel sorry for anyone who does not believe in GOD, because he is an AWESOME GOD!! He gave us his son to die for our sins, and if you never accept that you will die and go to the man with horns and a pitch fork. Let me say that it will be way hotter than you have ever experience, it will be a place you will never see light. If that don't scare you and GOD'S power don't scare you then you are in a rude awakening. You will never know TRUE love until you know GOD!! I will not respond to you EVER AGAIN!!

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Virgo

You're feeling restless and need to introduce as much variety into your day as possible. However, you'll want this to be on your own terms, and you certainly won't like it if plans are changed without your consent or you feel you've lost control of the situation. Try to take everything in your stride, otherwise you'll end up feeling exhausted and frazzled.
