https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wubUJG0HOUI fear we are now The Divided States of America... Dems are not accepting Trump as their President.....Scary scenario ahead I'm afraid. People don't talk to each other and nobody wants to compromise....they want it all. I fear Obama may become an alternative President to Trump....This song is coming true as the entire world is on fire.....IF WE hit the skids God Bless us All...

I enjoyed your rendition of the song but think that your assessment of the current situation is overly dire.
Imo...compared to 1859 or 1914 or 1938 we have nothing going on except a strident difference of opinions...that I doubt will escalate into significant civil disorder or violence...unless the economy collapses.
Barack Obama assured that it was on a sound footing. Hopefully he is right.
I suggest picking out some good shows on Netflix and relaxing. Highly recommend "Hell On Wheels."

ha, ha -- you have forgotten what it was like 8 years ago. 1/2 the country felt like obama wasn't born in america, was a muslim, or a socialist or a commie (or was it an alien) and he definitely wasn't their president.
The opposition did everything they could to stall, delay, defeat any obama initiative. We survived all that.
Now we just think we elected a narcissistic, vindictive sociopath. If the country goes down in flames it won't be because of the loyal opposition. The new admin will do that all on their own.

It could happen....I fear the rest of the world more than Trump. I think he is the right shark at the right time...I voted for Obama twice.....He is just too passive for me....And his passivity seems like weakness to the Big Whites OUT THERE...

Hi Barry:
I listened earlier and Windows 10 (dirty rotten #$%&*'s) decided to erase my thoughts for me. LOL! It has some kind of tracking crap built in so before you try it, beware. I had no choice, the dirty rats just uploaded that sucker onto our laptop and we've been fighting since.
Glad to see you posting again. I was concerned when you were AWOL for a few days.
Nice recording but I've never heard the original so, I'm not qualified to comment other than your vocal was good, like always. I share your concerns but North Korea, Iran and ISIS pose the greatest threats to our nation, IMHO. Then there's the Taliban and other splinter, terrorist groups.
One thing seems clear to me. Mr. Trump is going to shake up Washington, DC and the "business as usual" crowd.
All the best and thanks for sharing. ----Dave

Sorry for the delay, Barry:
I volunteer at a local library one afternoon each week.
Dang, I sure hate to hear you had such a terrible bout with pneumonia. Your system is very vulnerable because of your severe health problem... and you have enough to worry about. Here's hoping your recovery proceeds and you emerge stronger both physically and emotionally. If it were me in your shoes, I would be so worried and negative I would not be fit company for man nor beast.
I'm grateful you have music to distract you from worry and the terrible toll this illness demands of you.
All the best, ----Dave
