Tuesday, August 19, 2008 5:30 PM

LOS ANGELES -- Barack Obama is getting praise from Nashville, courtesy of one big, patriotic country star.

Toby Keith, perhaps best known to non-country audiences for his post-Sept. 11 song "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue," says he's a Democrat, and was impressed by the senator from Illinois.

He's always been a Democrat, but hasn't been real impressed with the stances their recent candidates have taken on the WoT. Methinks this is just wishful thinking on his part that Obama is somehow different, and that he may be singing a different tune as he gets closer to November.

But it's clear he hasn't yet come to terms with the disparity between the things he sings about, and the Democratic Party.

I’m still pi$$ed at him and his bar in Las Vegas for charging me 6 bucks for a bottle of beer!

He may or may not write his own stuff. Who cares? ANy of these entertainers who think that their opinions on anything other than their particular craft matter are no smarter than the people who listen to what they think. I don’t care who they are. I was in a local songwriter hangout last week and some guy at the bar started on politics (and he was a conservative) but I just tuned him out. I leave my politics outside when it comes to playing or writing songs.

I gave Toby entirely too much credit for having a brain.

He turns out to be another nut like those in Hollyweird.

I find myself wondering why Obama is having problems selecting a running mate and it dawned on me maybe they are telling him in private “ NO THINKS “

Governor Kaine of Virginia must not of got the memo!!

People really pay too much attention to the opinion of entertainers in my opinion. Toby is a good singer, that’s all. He has the right to vote for whoever he wants and it doesn’t make me dislike his music, but nobody should be looking to him or to any other entertainer for political commentary.

I have no problem with him being a Dem or supporting O, as long as I haven’t paid $150.00 for a ticket to get a political lecture.
