Elvis Presley endorses Obama, GOP outraged

OK, I lied. The King has not returned from the grave to endorse the senator from Illinois. But it seems every other artist selling records has pledged support for Barack Obama.

The list is varied and impressive.

We're talking everyone from bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley (and McCain thought he had the 80-year-old vote wrapped up) to coke rapper Young Jeezy. I'm glad to see all these popular musicians getting behind the "change" candidate but, really, does an endorsement from Pete Wentz, or even Bob Dylan, mean shit?

"The polls always bear it out: It's nice when musicians get involved, but they don't sway elections," commented Bill Maher at a Democratic National Convention bash thrown by Rolling Stone magazine. "Puff Daddy said, 'Vote or die' — and Puff Daddy might actually kill you – but people still didn't vote."

I hate to be such a cynic, but I think Maher has a point. That said, I hope to be proved wrong.

Dear concerned citizens of America and mass media of the U.S.A. As a concerned disabled American Veteran and American citizen, I consider it my duty and responsibility to address the following critical issues facing the voters of our Greatgrand nation, the United States of America [USA]. 1. Does the joint ticket have a calm, cool, and collected " temper and impulse" [Presidential Temperament]? 2. Does each ticket have sound and sustained "Judgment and Caliber"? 3. Does each ticket have a "presidential depth and degree" in regard to their purpose, policies, and positions? 4. Does each ticket have adequate, "understanding and knowledge" of workings around Washington"? 5. Does each ticket have enough "vigor, wisdom and Vision" for the future of our beloved Great-grand Nation? 6. Does each ticket possess enough joint foreign policy experience and exposure based on "American Values, Virtues, Vastness, and strong soul"? 7. Do their campaign talk, slogans, ads, plans, and programs based on facts and are they free of fear, fiction, frivolous labels, unfair attacks, negativity, and impulsivity? [Danger to country and national security]. 8. Does the ticket keep country or politics first? [McCain stole Obama's change and is running with it.] 9. Does the ticket move us closer to Culture Divide and war[ Disaster for our nation and economic challenges]. 10.Is the campaign surrounded, supported, and arrogated by divisive people, media, politicians, and blusters [Loss of Maverick's as shown by his new shiftiness, shamelessness, and shallowness]. As a Independent registered voter I have decided to vote for the Obama-Biden ticket. I am sure they will protect our national security, strengths, stamina and soul as well as rebuild our nation from the bottom up in all areas of need. The OBAMA-BIDEN ticket will restore our global standing with the use of maximum, firm international diplomacy and minimal force if and when indicated. Yours sincerely, COL. A.M. Khajawall [Ret] MD., Forensic psychiatrist, Colonel, US-AR / MC Combat Stress Control[Ret], Disabled American Veteran and Iraq Freedom team.

Elvis Presley, when alive always steered clear of discussing politics publicly. Elvis was a good soldier, and a very compassionate man too. His amazingly beautiful and very versatile voice suits song the best.
