Rodney Atkins’s “It’s America,”

Never heard of it.

Not sure how it would sound played by the Marine Band, though.

Only reason it was “awkward” was because the last thing this walking, breathing POS wants to hear is the word “America”.

Nice to see the Marines have added passive/aggressive moves to the arsenal of aggressive offensive moves.

I was thinking they would be sent to Adak, Alaska.

Just watched a video of the song and see why Obama would be upset--it's very upbeat about America and full of images he would find offensive, like white kids selling lemonade or people helping out the tornado victims in Greensburg (associated with one of his famous gaffes in 2008 where he multiplied the number of victims by 1,000). Plus country music is "white folks" music. Of course it would be offensive to Obama.
