Toby Keith Praises Obama, Says He's A Democrat



LOS ANGELES — Barack Obama is getting praise from Nashville, courtesy of one big, patriotic country star.

Toby Keith, perhaps best known to non-country audiences for his post-Sept. 11 song "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue," says he's a Democrat, and was impressed by the senator from Illinois.

Keith has said in the past that the 2002 song _ which included lines aimed at the Taliban like "we lit up your world like the Fourth of July" _ was more patriotic than pro-war.

Asked while promoting his new movie "Beer For My Horses" about the role of patriotism in the current presidential election, Keith replied: "There's a big part of America that really believes that there is a war on terrorism, and that we need to finish up.

"So I thought it was beautiful the other day when Obama went to Afghanistan and got educated about Afghanistan and Iraq. He came back and said some really nice things.

"So as far as leadership and patriotism goes, I think it's really important that those things have to take place. And I think he's the best Democratic candidate we've had since Bill Clinton. And that's coming from a Democrat."

Toby's obnoxious but he ain't dumb.  He sees the writing on the wall.  That's why the Republicans will have to be entertained by Styx and and the surviving Beach Boys and, if you're going to the Tom DeLay McCain fundraiser, Smashmouth!
:P

Styx? Oh man, I LOVE Styx. Of course during the RNC convention, they can always raise some money by conducting tours of Larry Criag's bathroom stall at the airport.

Probably ticked because they lost their soap box.

Skunk Baxter of the Doobie Brothers is a Republican as well. (He's not as outspoken as Ted Nugent, but he's a G.O.P. guy.)

Aside from "Skunk Baxter" sounding like the name of Arkansas moonshiner, he was in a band named essentially "the fraternity of marijuana cigarettes."

Before that, he was in Steely Dan. Which came from the Book "Naked Lunch".

And Dan was not a man with a steely demeanor; Steely Dan was a dildo!
