This song inspired this song…
…written by West Virginia native Lady D, and which won an Obama Music Arts and Entertainment inaugural song competition. The website sponsors Obama-inspired artistic endeavors. I kid you not:
This is a site for people to share and enjoy Obama-inspired artistic creations. If you are not an artist but a fan of Obama, you will love the treasure you find here. If you are an artist who has created a piece about or inspired by Obama, send it to us and we’ll share it with everyone. All mediums accepted. So send us your films, songs, videos, still photography, visual artistry, essays, short stories, spoken word, and poetry; It is completely free: you just need to create a profile first.
Needless to say, I didn’t register. Anyway, Lady D and her band, Mi$$ion, will be going to the inaugural ball in recognition of her win, though it’s unclear as to whether she will be allowed to perform. In her own words:
Thanks to everyone who voted for my song, “Go Higher” for the Obama inaugural song. I just got the word and I’m so excited! I couldn’t have done it if you all hadn’t gotten behind this. Thanks again for your support and I’ll keep you updated on what’s happening. It’s not guaranteed at this point that I can actually perform at the inauguration itself but I’ve been told that I will be at one of the inaugural balls. I’m just happy for the opportunity. Thanks again to all of you! LOVE YA!Doris A. Fields
Lady D
A better audio version of the winning song can be found on the Lady’s website. The Chesapeake native wrote the song years ago, but entered it into the competition and won by 16 votes. Considering the way Hillary Clinton spanked Barack Obama in the primaries, I thought all West Virginians were white, racist, Bible-clinging, gun-totin’ bigots. At least, that’s what I read in the papers.
just like the bushbots blindly trusted every f*cked up choice he made because he only answered to a ‘higher power’, the obamabots justify all things Obama because of his skin color (but not too black!). And because they embrace him BECAUSE of his skin color, they assume that we reject him for the very same reason. They are the racists.
If anyone had bothered to examine W’s record while governor of Texas or before that as a thrice failed businessman, it would be reasonable to project how he would perform in office. Same with our current con artist. Just look at his non-record. He accomplished nothing except his own self promotion. He takes all sides of positions. He keeps no promises. He is negative space and shape shifts depending on the situation.
The media, a corrupt system and blind adoration gave us Bush. The same elements have forced Obama upon us.
While phone-banking for Sen. Clinton a gentleman I spoke with from West Virginia was
the “Most-Informed” person about BO’s record in Chicago that I had encountered.
He “Begged” me not to think of him as a racist.
He brought up Obama’s position on “wiping” out any criminal record after someone does their time. This would do away with things like Meghan’s Law…..Right??
How sad.
Only white West Virginians were called racist by Huffington Post and MSNBC. What the mainstream media called racism was actually distrust for a somebody unknown, and in that regards, West Virginians are most assuredly color blind.
