I was on The National's website and I saw the banner at the top of the page - I thought it was kind of interesting. Given Alligator came out in 2005, I suspect the song wasn't originally about him - or even the elections, but who knows? Well, actually, I don't think anyone would describe Obama as the "Great White Hope," though "new blue blood" would be a suitably snarky way for idiots with blogs to label a young, "elitist" Democrat. Before I lose my license for misappropriating lyrics, I would actually like to note that "I won't fuck us over" is, looking back on my previous posts, the campaign slogan for my preferred 2008 Presidential campaign.
Inspirational, I know.
The song in question.
