Kudo's to our President that he didn't have "Mikana" hauled out by SS in Hawaii!

Our President Obama allowed this to go on for 45 Minutes! Maybe he's on OUR SIDE after all? :shrug:

It's beautiful...the full listen to what he played is here and it goes to the soul of OWS and the rest of us 98%.

He has a voice of the 60's and shades of Pete Seeger.

1. Wondering whose side Obama is on is kind of like wondering what the OWS protesters demands are.

Makana is an awesome musician, BTW.

2. It was an amazing performance, I watched last night.

He just wrote the song very recently and decided to play it there on the spur of the moment.

I would like to have been a fly on the wall in the private quarters after that one.

3. It's an incredibly beautiful song. I hope those who didn't hear it from where

you saw it will go to the link.

I'm not sure if he isn't an OP for something...but the song says it all about what many of us feel and if Obama didn't sick the "dogs" on him...maybe there's some hope for him, after all. Or...it's possible this is a manipulation so that we "think" that Obama supports OWS...when he doesn't but that the Psy Ops is in charge.

I'm so cynical at this point...I don't know what to think about how good our Gov't is with "Disinfo and Psy Ops" ...but, I'll give Obama a break on this one.

Caveat: I'm a Progressive Democrat who is disappointed with Obama and think "War is only to Advantage the Military Industrial Complex and Wall Street.
So, I'm a hard customer. But, if Obama truly allowed this...I will give him another look.

Just saying.

4. What was he going to do?

The publicity from throwing out an artist like that over what he played would have lit the internet up like a volcano.

I heard that they had expected him to do some instrumental pieces.

[KoKo]

7. Well...even if he was "outflanked" he didn't sick the dogs...and it's an incredibly Beautiful Tune!

I don't know anymore ...with the Psy Ops Disinfo...Info... But, the listen is good and maybe it's just better to listen than to get "into the weeds" about all this stuff.

It maybe, just "Is what it Is" with a New Pete Seeger managing to confront our US President from an Hawaiian perspective...and get's his voice heard.

Simple as that...without all kinds of "stuff anchored on the guy. Just a 98%'er who saw his opportunity and TOOK IT! GOOD ON HIM!

6. Kudos

Kudos is singular, like pathos. There's never one kudo any more than there's one patho.

8. Tiny scraps of nothing, to disprove the 7 Mountains of Truth before your very eyes:

NOBODY in D.C. is on "our" side, unless YOU'RE in the top 1%.

[KoKo]

9. I understand what you say. I just had hope that Obama listened and didn't have him tossed out

which he could have done. Whether it was political calculation on his part...or sincere...I don't know.

but, at least he didn't resort to violence..

10. I doubt Obama even heard the song.

Mikana was there for back ground music. No one listens to the music at things like that. But I bet he never gets invited back to the White House.
