Until Obama kills a few million folks in an incinerator, there is NO COMPARISON....
Trying to justify a comparison is foolish........Maybe Hank Williams Jr didn't mean it, maybe he did. I don't know and I don't CARE.
I do know that comparing past, current or future presidents to the most hateful, EVIL person the world has ever known is...........simply wrong and HATEFUL.........That goes for current company and past company.......
Later,

Gotta agree with Geo here, no need for this kind of crap.
You have to wonder where his head was during that interview because he called Boehner and Obama the Three Musketeers and someone had to point out that was two people and not three.
Agreed, no place for that kind of comparison. I am not a fan of the current POTUS but that was ridiculous. Perhaps ol Hank should take some advice from Toby Keith!

Big Gills - I can't believe you've heard of the father but not the son...I mean seriously. Seriously? Just so you know...(sit back and get a glass of Jim Beam first) he didn't make it to the top by riding on his old man's coat tails. The music industry WANTED him to be like his dad, sing his dad's songs, etc...but it wasn't working out. He didn't make the big time until he started playing music HIS way. This was back in the 70's sometime. I didn't get a true feel for what an artist he was until I saw one of his shows where he played solo on stage...solo...playing every instrument on stage that 18-wheels could haul...solo...by himself. That night he played guitar, bass guitar, upright bass, banjo, piano, fiddle, and drums. It was pretty impressive. As far as Americans showing the POTUS respect, I'm American and I ain't about to show Nobama any respect until he admits that he's in over his head. Nobama needs to fess up and admit that he himself needs a bail out. Nothing wrong with telling the truth is there? I think if Nobama would come clean with the citizens of the greatest country in the world then the citizens in turn might be willing to support him more than what they are now. We are a giving and caring people down here in the United States, if you don't believe me just ask the illegals, they'll tell ya, lol...Yea I know, pipe dream (not Willie's pipe either, lol), it ain't gonna happen.
Embrey - You're right on with that statement, call Nobama anything but good!
I don't like the comparison either, but oh well, just about any performer I like has done something I didn't like at one time or another. It doesn't change what I think of his music.
I'm pretty sure it was his mom that made him play his dad's old songs. She had him on tour singing his dad's song, dressing like his dad, and so on. One day he wanted to play a few of his own songs, and she didn't agree...........not wanting to remain in his dad's shadow, he left home and went out on his own and made it happen for himself.Just so you know...(sit back and get a glass of Jim Beam first) he didn't make it to the top by riding on his old man's coat tails. The music industry WANTED him to be like his dad, sing his dad's songs, etc...but it wasn't working out. He didn't make the big time until he started playing music HIS way.
Watch the movie "Living Proof: Hank Williams Jr. Story" sometime. You'll like it.
Also, on a side note, there is a movie due out later this month about the last days of Hank Williams Sr.'s life, called "The Last Ride". I've been looking forward to it for a long time, just hoping it comes to a theater near here....
Go here and watch the trailer:

Thanks to Steve Jobs, I recieved some sort of alert on my cell phone today mentioning that our boy Hank is about to release a new song titled; "Keep the Change!"
Hmmmm....with a title like that there's no tellin' what the song is about but I bet I'm gonna like it!
Thanks Steve and thank you HANK!
They both wore / wear big cowboy hats.......![]()
Not exactly a Hank Jr. fan..., but have to admit his style of music did get better with time, kind of like a good aged Kentucky Bourbon whiskey.
Reminds me of the only time the wife and I went to a live concert back in the mid 60's; HAND WILLIAMS Jr. Being a fan of HANK Sr, I was all excited. Didn't last long, as before the first intermission, told the wife, let's get the hell out of her. Took almost 20 years before I could appreciate Jr's music, and then from a distance.![]()
I hear ya...I never claimed he was a good singer,..but his "style of music" as you say does provide for some good redneck entertainment.
Yea, I bet I will too...........Thanks to Steve Jobs, I recieved some sort of alert on my cell phone today mentioning that our boy Hank is about to release a new song titled; "Keep the Change!"
Hmmmm....with a title like that there's no tellin' what the song is about but I bet I'm gonna like it!
Thanks Steve and thank you HANK!
