Common sense from a point of view which is informed. Thanks Trace for your support of America.

Its sad that a single country music performer has more common sense than the POTUS and his cabinet combined.

Trace was a football player at Louisiana Tech (Terry Bradshaw’s alma mater) and holds a degree from there as well. He’s not limited to his roughnecking in the Oil Patch.

He's big too. I met him on a USO tour back in 2008. I'm just under 6'4" and he was at least two inches taller than me and 30-40 lbs heavier, and I'm not skinny.

The only thing Obama has proven in the time since this disaster began is that government oversight has been the problem and NOT the solution. It is completely the opposite of what he may have intended.

Atta boy, Trace.

Hey Obama, this is what America looks like as it's coming to kick *your* ass:


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I saw the headline about Trace Adkins on CNN and I immediately thought, “Oh no. You didn’t turn did you Trace?” I should have had more faith.

That has been the best interview I have seen on the subject. I hope Trace makes the rounds on the other networks.
