This is true and funny.
And you know what I am thinking?
Pronounce the second “e” in “RENEGER” in a different way and the song is racist. I think the singer was keenly aware of this risk and made sure he pronounced it “REE NAY GAR.
Michael Fischer, the singer, has a website: www.thefischers.net
Outlawales
that’s razist
oowawa
I believe Thee One’s secret service code name is “Renegade.” I suggested a while back that it should be changed to “Reneger,” and when I wrote it, I realized “Uh-Oh, someone is going to take this as a racist insinuation . . . “
Bart
Yeah, it’ll be cast as a race story. Great song though!
John johnwsmart.com
that song has hit written all over it.
arabella trefoil
Obama’s secret service name is “renegade.”
It’s true, look it up.
Rosa
And when you are called whitey or cracker or some other stupid name, is that racist? Because in the media ,news commentators entertainers,,we hear minorities saying it all the time. the word reneger has always been used in the proper context, don’t we all need to chill, but I guess it worked well in 2008.
Onofre’s arm
Could the whole Obama nightmare be “over” if we could get a “Fat Lady” to sing that song?
EllenD
Larry, you have no idea how much I appreciate this, because I am so sick of rap!
Actually, his pronunciation seemed normal to me. Could it be he’s singing in Canadian?
EllenD
Actually, the first blatant reneging was his promise to John McCain on public financing.
Cindy
Onofre—-Let me eat a few pizzas, pack on some weight, and I’d be happy to oblige and sing a few bars of “Um bel di” !!!
helenk
Now you know why I have called him backtrack since the primaries.
It was always there but many were not paying attention.
Thank you for posting this song. I will book mark it and send to any fool dumb enough to tell me he is a good president.

Love the backup vocals on the chorus. The lyrics are spot on.
Love to hear a fiddle track in there.
Cindy
Larry–Thanks for posting this. Great stuff.
And he’s a Houston boy, originally. Makes me proud. They raise ‘em “raat” in “Hewton”.
Cindy
Could it be he’s singing in Canadian?
No, Ellen, I think he’s singing it in A major. (har-har)
EllenD
The media says whites will be in the minority soon, and dammit, as a minority I wan’t some respect!
None of the racist whitey talk!
Hadrianus
Racist? Tell that to Reverend White–Oh I forgot. Obama has long ago thrown him under the Move-On Bus.
jwrjr
If there is anything that Ozero is not, he is not niggardly. Now if only he would spend some of it on something useful to the Citizens (as opposed to his Bankers).
Cindy
helenk—I’m going to book mark it too. It is a great historical reference to keep……….. and it’s so well done.
sowsear
Yeah, that’s the one that blew the bank.
Breeze
I think TheWon finally looked up from the mess he has helped to create and realized that his minions had planned a trip for him away from the USA over the first weekend of NCAA basketball tourney. SO, HE POSTPONED HIS ‘ORIENTAL TRIP’!!He’d rather stay in front of his widescreen in the WH smoking Marlboro’s and rooting on his favorite teams rather than travel somewhere with his wife and children.
Cindy
Ellen–LOL! So true!
Hadrianus
There is only one little, tiny itsy bitsy, teeny weeny thing wrong in my opinion with the message of The Great Reneger, and gives the whole thing away:
Far from being as he says: “Far left of what’s right”, Obama is FAR RIGHT OF WHAT’S LEFT—and what is left of our Constitution.
Cindy
Now if only he would spend some of it on something useful to the Citizens (as opposed to his Bankers).
jwrjr— I really don’t think he knows how to do anything useful—that would require having a real, not imagined, passion for something. He is so programmed to be the center of attention, which I believe he has been all of his life. Providing for others does not fit into that scene. ( or rather, “scheme”)
jwrjr
You will not find me disagreeing with you. Except for the trolls everybody here knows exactly what the probability is of my suggestion happening – the same as glaciers forming in h*ll.
sowsear
I thought I had seen that video without the music. It was good without stirring up a controvery which they can/will use to distract us from their stealthcare shenanigans. Not that I didn’t like the song….
sowsear
You know, all you young folks have to do to prevent whites from being in the minority is to “Make love, not war”.

Another song expressing similar sentiments, with similar PC “overtones”.

Hello, everyone! I wanted to agree with others that this is a wonderful song…although I didn’t really notice anything I would consider racist in it- I thought this fellow pronouced the word correctly, and it didn’t strike me as anything other than a truthful look at the Obamanation that currently creeps about the halls of Pennsylvania Avenue!
HC123
Any “reneging” is merely that Obama is so intelligent and his ideas are so complex, one might even say nuanced, that we just do not understand them properly.
Obama hovers over us, sort of like a god or guru or even an angel riding a pegasus over a rainbow in the sunshine.
We should only focus on the purity of his intentions, not his words.
He has a plan we all just need to follow along and everything will be perfect.

Okay, Onofre’s arm, time to bring out the heavy artillery. I suspect that this is not Freddie Mercury, but Thee One in whiteface:

Onofre—-terrific song! And right in time for the mid-term (political) madness, too.
Approx. 240 shopping days left ’til the elections!

Onofre–Love that! And I’m part Choctaw and not offended.

Obama is so not a renegade. More like a grenade causing havoc wherever he goes.

It’d probably be the one good time to be overweight!
“Any “reneging” is merely that Obama is so intelligent and his ideas are so complex, one might even say nuanced, that we just do not understand them properly. ”
Indeed. Because he’s *so* intelligent, he’s single-handedly redifined a lot of terms, to boot. Transparent is now opaque; hope and change is the same old; in the open is behind closed doors.
And the kicker is that the Constitution is a flawed document.
I’ve got news for That One–he’s a flawed human being who is in love with the sound of his own voice and those that populate his empty skull.
Cindy
oowawa–Thank you, kiddo!
I had not seen this before—what an eclectic collection of home vids!
LR sang it on some video in the 1980′s, I think. He is a scream.
Thanks, again.

Nah, won’t get any health care if she’s overweight.

Yep, “nuanced,” like an expensive wine that only a connoisseur can properly appreciate–so complex that it can mean many things at once–soft, yet flinty; robust, yet delicate; subtle, yet profound; truthful, yet a lying sack of shit . . .

If anyone takes offense to this song and the terminology then I guess the truth really does hurt. I am so unconscious as to Race as respects this fraud that I had to “read the rest” to see how we could be implicated to digging the tune. He is a reneger. One who reneges. He’s a lying trickster.
No one called him an “Indian giver”; that would be a racist slur, indeed.
How in the world could disastified taxpayers be called racist anyway? He won as he reminded us a skillion times. Now how did he do that? The racists voted for him or something? Absurd. Can’t even stand to look at him. He’s a disgrace to the Human race. Fraud. Thief. Liar. Bullshit con artist. Sheister. Charlatan. Snake oil salesman. Jack of Trades and master of none.
The Song is great. I give it a 98 because not only does it have a good beat, but you can sway and swagger to it, Dick.

Hello, dummies! Oh my God, look at you. Anyone else hurt in the accident?
Seriously,Senator Reid has a face of a Saint – A Saint Bernard. Now I know why they call you the arithmetic man. You add partisanship, subtract pleasure, divide attention, and multiply ignorance. Reid is so physically unimposing, he makes Pee Wee Herman look like Mr. T. And Reid’s so dumb, he makes Speaker Pelosi look like an intellectual. Nevada is soooo screwed! If I were less polite, I’d say Reid makes Kevin Federline look successful.
Speaking of the Speaker … Nancy Pelosi, hubba, hubba! Hey baby, you must’ve been something before electricity.
Seriously, the Speaker may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don’t let that fool you. She really is an idiot.
Charlie Rangel … still alive and still robbing the taxpayers blind. What does that make, six decades of theft?
Rangel’s the only man with a rent-controlled mansion. He’s the guy who writes our tax laws but forgot to pay taxes on $75 grand in rental income! So why isn’t he the Treasury Secretary? Rangel runs more scams than a Nigerian Banker.
Barney Frank … he’s a better actor than Fred Flintstone. Consider that he and Dodd caused the whole financial meltdown, and they’re not only not serving time with Bubba and Rodney, they’re still heading up the financial system!
Let’s all admit it … Barney Frank slobbers more than a sheepdog on Novocain.. How did this guy get elected? Oh, that’s right … he’s from Massachusetts . That’s the state that elects Mr. Charisma, John Kerry — man of the people!
You know, ifSenator Dodd were any more crooked, you could open wine bottles with him. Here’s a news flash, Dodd: when your local newspaper calls you a “lying weasel,” it may be time to retire.
Dodd’s involved in more shady deals than the Clintons . Even Rangel looks up to him!
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, I really respect you … especially given your upbringing ~ All you’ve overcome. I heard your birth certificate is an apology from the condom factory. I don’t know what makes you so dumb, but it really works for you. Personally, I don’t think you’re a fool, but what’s my opinion compared to that of thousands of others?
As forPresident Obama, what can I say? They say President Obama’s arrogant and aloof, but I don’t agree.
Now it’s true when you enter the room, you have to kiss his ring. I don’t mind, but he has it in his back pocket.
His mind is open to new ideas — so open that ideas simply pass through it. Obama lies so much, I was actually surprised to find out his first name really was Barack.
Just don’t ask about his middle name! But Obama was able to set a record … he actually lied more in 60 days thanBill Clinton.

The song is racist. A variant of N****r, is Neger. Look it up. You can’t get away with calling him a N****r, so you bigots think this is clever.
Yknow, if you are going to be an outright racist and create a halfwit white trailer trash song like this, where the “reneger” has an obvious double meaning guaranteed to put a toothless grin on the face of every Tea Party halfwit (because this is what passes for Clever and Subtle to people with two digits or less in their IQ score), at least stop being hypocrites and admit that you despise his skin color. The singer in the video smirks about the double entender all the way through. It’s no “coincidence”, and you know it Bubba, so get off your high horse before you fall off it, land on your fat ass, and break what little excuse for a brain you have left down there.
