I ran across this old album from 1970 by Brewer & Shipley (Think One Toke Over The Line Sweet Jesus). This one just made me smile. It seems about the way it was back then and the way it is now...
Oh, mommy, I ain't no commie I'm just doing what I can to live the good old all American way It says right there in the constitution It's really A-OK to have a revolution When the leaders that you choose Really don't fit their shoes
Oh, mister, I ain't no sister I believe in the Bill Of Rights, Come on don't you start a fight please I like to wear my hair long How can there be anything wrong When you already accused me twice Of looking like Jesus Christ Hallelujah
I'm only gettin' tired of playing Punch and Judy I'm really half a mind to go and do my duty Like Mr. Patrick Henry said I got to be free or dead
Mister Nixon, I ain't a fixin' To speak Spanish on a plane or polish off the Liberty Bell I just want to sit here on the shelf And watch you finish off the place by yourself Please let me do what I wanna I just lay around the house and smoke marijuana Ooooo
It says right there in the constitution It's really A-OK to have a revolution When the leaders that you made Just don't make the grade Oh, mommy, I ain't no commie But I hate to bust your bubble Cause there's gonna be some trouble soon

I can't help but think that had Obama not been elected, there would've been some trouble real soon.
