Lyrics: If you voted for me! (7x) Then get your hands up! In the white house, now watch your mouth Im doing my presidential thang. It’s time for Bush to dip, People wanna trip, cause everybody voted for me. I’m on the news, I’m in magazines, don’t pay me any attention. There’s nothing to fear, Not with these ears, I can hear the thoughts of any enemy! If ya voted for me, change is on the way, know it (2x) If you didn’t then get with it cause I’m staying, homie! If ya voted for me, change is on the way, know it Oh (a million times) If ya voted for me, change is on the way, know it (2x) If you didn’t, get up with it cause I’m staying, homie. If ya voted for me, change is on the way, know it I got hope on my lips Blackberry on my hip Secret service we rollin deep! In the white house Take the bowling alley out I can care less what you think. I need no permission Did I mention I am the first black president I want a b-ball court With a little bling to sport, How’s that for ‘change you can believe’? If ya voted for me, change is on the way, know it (2x) If you didn’t, get up with it cause I’m staying, homie. If ya voted for me, change is on the way, know it Don’t threaten me Have you lost your mind?! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?! You will be doing time (doing time) See heres the thing, I’ll make sure they take you, And cuff you then put you In a prison so far Then make you a part Of a chain-gang that sings my song Then plead your case On Apollo with a Malcolm X t-shirt on. If ya

Cool Stupid!, arent they?


U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) made this statement after Senate passage of health care reform.  The vote was 60-39 with Graham voting against the legislation.
“This bill dramatically increases government control of our nation’s health care.  It raises taxes over $500 billion and cuts Medicare by $464 billion.  At the end of the day, the real-world impact of this legislation is that 80 percent of Americans will find themselves in some form of government-run, government-controlled health care.
“The fact that 4 out of 5 Americans will be in government-controlled health care is an ominous sign.  I can say with certainty the remaining 20 percent will soon be asked, if not required, to follow.  I believe we should be pushing for more private sector choice in health care – not government dominance.    

“If you want an idea of how bad this bill is, just look at the number of Democratic Senators who inserted special provisions exempting their states and businesses from the effects of this legislation.  They know it’s going to be devastating.
“Written behind closed doors in backrooms of the Capitol – the legislation completely exempts one state, Nebraska, from paying for expanded Medicaid coverage, a requirement imposed on the 49 states.  This provision, if not unprecedented, is certainly among the most troubling to have ever passed the Senate.

“In the state of Michigan, Blue Cross Blue Shield will be exempted from paying certain taxes.  In the state of Florida, seniors who enjoy the benefits of participating in Medicare Advantage will be protected from losing that coverage, a benefit not provided to seniors in other states.
“The legislation is loaded with similar provisions.  It’s certainly not the way we should be legislating on an issue as important as health care, which comprises one-sixth of our national economy.  Without a doubt, the health care policy contained in this bill is bad medicine for America and the Senate’s actions were the worst of Washington politics.”
