As a lifelong Beatles fan, and one who has often criticized their foibles and follies but gave 'em a pass nonetheless because the music was so good, this really takes the cake.
Paul just jumped the shark with this comment, and I for one will never give him one more cent. He just alienated a good percentage of his fan base with this sucking up to Obama and getting partisan about it.
There is an apt phrase in Mario Puzo's book, "The Godfather", regarding Tessio's betrayal:
"How could such an intelligent man make such a gross error of judgment so late in life"
“Paul just jumped the shark with this comment, and I for one will never give him one more cent. He just alienated a good percentage of his fan base with this sucking up to Obama and getting partisan about it.”

MM,
Don't count on Beatles Fanatics leaving Paulie in droves...
it won't happen!
For one thing, MOST ‘Beatles Fanatics’ would applaud and agree with ‘Sir Paulie’ in dissing our former president!
As for me-thankfully-I have been a mild Beatles fan-not a Fanatic- so Paul is no big loss to me!
Too far is too far-and McCartney went Way too far - and unnecessarily!
