First off this song came from a guy who wrote it for Rush. I listen to his show about 4 hours a year and happened to hear this part of his show back in 2007. This song was joking on the LA Times article (I think it was that paper) and directed at them and not Obama. If you notice CNN gave links to some things in this story but did not give a link to the article which would put this song in better context. Now, I do think it was dumb for this guy to even produce the CD because of how it would be perceived by the public. I don't know the guy so I'm not going to judge him by what might have been a bad humor.
