I want a divorce from this President, this Congress, this Governor, this legislature, and this city council…
I was out for a walk last night after working on my house until it was too late to make loud noises outside.
My cellphone can play MP3 music files with headphones, and I have a 2 Gigabyte memory card in my phone loaded with MP3s that I just grabbed at random one night to put some music on my phone.
As I walked, a song started that I haven’t heard in quite some time. It’s the Georgia Satellites, All Over But the Cryin’.
A little background, but where this leads is that this song now speaks to me about those things many of us know about our President that many millions still either like about him, or don’t know about, or willfully deny…
I think every man must have at least one woman in his past who has done him wrong. Mine was 20 years ago, and I now am grateful to her for the lessons I learned both about women, and about myself.
When I first sensed that something was going on, I confronted her and she denied it, but my instincts told me different. I think many women think they have a monopoly on intuition, but they are wrong. Men have it too, but we call it instincts or “gut”, as in “What does your gut tell you?” Most men who don’t think they have it simply don’t know how to listen to it. We’re told almost from birth “Big boys don’t cry!” so we learn to shut off our feelings, which are the fountain from which intuition flows.
In the end I caught her with him and found that she had been lying to both of us, vindicating me and what my “gut” had been telling me in some ways that had even surprised me. He was an abusive alcoholic who believed he had won some kind of prize in her, and so I knew they deserved each other (please don’t make me qualify everything—I would never wish abuse, even on her).
It was finally over and as I was getting on with my life and beginning to heal, one day on the radio I heard this song that had just been released. At the time it was almost as if it had been written for me and where I was in my life.
When I heard it last night, it spoke to me this time about Obama and his lies, and what he’s trying to do to our beloved country.
It just doesn’t take intuition to figure it out, though many tens of millions seem to be completely blind to what he’s trying to do. The more I look at the words, the more parallels I see. So I decided to share this here.
Here it is, Georgia Satellites, All Over But the Cryin’:
(Sample it here.)
There's a fool born every minute babe
but this time it isn't me
it doesn't take 20/20
to see what I can see
don't wanna hear nothin bout nothin
don't wanna hear how you are sincere
cause your actions speak louder
than the words you whisper in my ear
don't tell me nothins going on
I can feel it down in my bones
you can say that everything's alright
but its me going for that walk alone
I don't want to hear your promises
I know the truth and you're lying
it's all over, all over, over but the crying
Go on and talk all you want baby
just gonna sit right over here and listen
just go ahead little girl
you've got my undivided attention
oh, but I've been listening
to what you tell me with your eyes
those blue, blue windows
just can't disguise
don't tell me nothins going on
I can feel it down in my bones
You can say that everything's alright
but it's me going for that walk alone
I don't want to hear your promises
I know the truth and you're lying
It's all over, all over but the cryin
You can laugh about it later
You can tell yourself it served me right
You've painted a picture I can't forget
You've laid it out in black and white
Don't tell me nothins going on
I can feel it down in my bones
You can say that everything's alright
but it's me going for that walk alone
I don't want to hear your cheap promises
I know the truth and you're lying
It's all over, all over
Over but the cryin
Over but the cryin
Over but the cryin
Over but the cryin
