This seems to be a veiled political cheerleading thread for Obama, and should be moved below the line.

I can appreciate the folklore aspect, but only when it has relevance to MUSIC.

There are millions of folklore aspects to life. That doesn't make all folklore relevant to the music section.

My opinion, and of course, it is one easily dismissed because I am currently furious over Obama's 180 degree turn on offshore oil drilling.

But really, oratory isn't music, music isn't oratory.

If we were talking about Reagan's oratory skills, the thread wouldn't be in the music section.
