http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2012/07/hank-williams-jr-fires-back-at-obama/1Hank Williams, Jr., is apparently still upset over losing his Monday Night Football gig (for comparing President Obama to Hitler).
Williams has a new song called "Take Back Our Country" that includes lyrics predicting the president's defeat this November:
"Hey Barack pack your bags/Head to Chicago/Take your teleprompter with you so you'll know where to go."
The song is on a new Williams CD called Old School, New Rules, which includes tunes entitled "We Don't Apologize for America" and "Who's Taking Care of Number One?"

(30,947 posts)During his last years Williams's consumption of alcohol, morphine and other painkillers severely compromised his professional and personal life. He divorced his wife and was dismissed by the Grand Ole Opry due to frequent drunkenness. Williams died suddenly in the early morning hours of New Years Day in 1953 at the age of 29 from heart failure brought on by pills and alcohol.

In 2008, he supported Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain's bid for the presidency. He appeared with McCain on the campaign trail, where he sang a revised version of his song "Family Tradition," called "A McCain-Palin Tradition." When the Republicans failed to retain the White House, Williams didn't take it well.
"If it wasn't for the Electoral College, Obama wouldn't be president," he said. "Let's face it. That's the problem right there."
so who cares what the lousy drunk predicts?

Yes, it's an old news story, but it still applies.
