(tune of Jingle-Bell Rock, Nelson 2007)

Yeah … that was one of the songs we sang at various malls, and also Ed Royce’s office I believe, that December of 2007. I like to think the song helped convince candidate Obama that getting out of Iraq should be a big part of his campaign, which he has pretty much followed through on to a large degree. (To be fair, Barack was right on Iraq from the beginning, if you remember his 2002 speech as an Illinois state senator.)

Too bad he feels he has to compensate by doubling down on the pointless, endless war in Afghanistan.
