Barack The Vote: Arcade Fire Play For Obama

01st March 2008 | by Gavin Riley

With the U.S Elections hotting up fast, Barack Obama continues to enjoy the support of the cool kids, with Arcade Fire announcing they'll play some shows to support the Illinois Senator.

This Tuesday's primaries in Ohio and Texas, are seen as make-or-break for rival Hillary Clinton, so will Obama (or Clinton for that matter) be happy that a bunch of Canadians will come in and try to muscle their way into an American election?

Not so fast, exclaim the Canadians. Though the Arcade Fire is known as a Canadian band, Win and Will were born and raised in the U.S. (and spent their formative years in Texas), Regine is a dual citizen whose dad served in Vietnam, and Jeremy Gara is just a really nice Canadian who likes playing music and is sick of explaining to Americans what universal health care means.

So that clears that up then. If you want to see Arcade Fire beating the drum for Obama, we suggest you start queueing now. Hotter than a Radiohead gig in London, Arcade Fire will play a show at Stuart's Opera House in Nelsonville on March 2nd, followed by a gig at the Beachland Ballroom, Cleveland, on March 3rd. Advance tickets are not available but will be issued on a first come, first served basis.

YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:-)

If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary's than they had ever been before or since.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..

You Might Be An Idiot!

If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)

Best regards

I think, the key word here is "Might".

Secondly, this is a music news website. I think "You (jacksmith) MIGHT be an IDIOT!"
