American beauty Ash Soular recorded “Obamanation” in 2008 as a protest song. She warned Americans about slick media sensation Barack Obama.
The upside was that she got over 4,000,000 hits on the song she posted on YouTube. The downside was that she was harassed and received death threats for posting the song on YouTube.
Ash told her story recently in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
This is what Ash Soular wrote about her YouTube hit “Obamanation”:
I wanted to express how I felt about this past election, but I’m not very good at writing political blogs or particularly fond of debating. So I figured, how better to express my opinion than to write a song.
** To elaborate: This song is about how we’ve forgotten the importance of our leaders’ character. The expression, “Obamanation”, (a play on words, yes) is also meant to symbolize a reality where people vote for politicians based upon charisma, instead of the content of their character.
It’s describing a situation where we are blinded by those whose main goal is to spend more of our tax money while ignoring our values.
It reminds us that the change THEY want may not be the change that YOU want. Let them know whose change matters. **
If you’ve never heard Obamanation Ash jams on the electric guitar halfway through the song.
The lyrics written in 2008 are prophetic:
“I don’t want your change.”

The “open minded left” sent out a death threat to someone that criticized their master?
The same left that had SEIU thugs beat up a Tea Party member in St. Louis?
The same left that over ran a bank managers lawn in Connecticut with their mob rule attitude?
Never! (cough cough)

The three most important things about a leader, character, character and character.
We have failed on all three with Obowma.

Another attractive, conservative woman speaks or in this case sings the truth. Time for another Obama Fatwa. O/T Just finished the Overton Window. Love Beck or hate him, he may be on to something.
Chisum commented:
Another beautiful conservative woman from Las Cruces!
Wow!
jonyjoe101 commented:
Anyone else think liberals are harmless people. Hitler/stalin/marx where all liberals. The enlightend people are the most violent people in the world. Joran vander sloot was a liberal and a big fan of obama.
When you curse all the time and have no problem killing babies, there is not much you won’t do.
Opus #6 commented:
She is an artist. She should belong to the left. Or that is how the socialist/marxists think. If you belong to any of their “groups” you MUST vote Democrat or else!
Hate to tell them…the times, they are a’changin!

Couldn’t watch that, with all the annoying wind-noise!

You voted for change….but change became tyranny.

For some irony, Hillary Rodham Clinton said :
And for a double dose of irony, President Obama’s office:

Refreshing!
Andreas K. commented:
“F*ck Bush” was fine. “Kill Bush” was fine. Dissent was patriotic.
Suddenly dissent is punishable by death?
Imagine the “right wingers” reacting like this under Bush. The media would have screamed murder.
The usual double standards from the red fascists.
I oppose Obama because I can see how his “ideas” don’t work on a daily basis.
You think he’s so smart? His stuff is great? Come to Europe. See how it’s not working at all. But be warned. It could get you killed. No, I’m not kidding. We have no-go areas for natives where not even police dares to enter. The citizens have been disarmed, yet the crime rates are going through the roof. The nationalized healthcare systems are utterly broken. Plus our national debts, which are out of control.
BTW, just read an interesting report from German police: left wing violence has risen by 60% in 2009. And nobody is doing anything about it.
Bill Fabrizio commented:
This young woman was more informed than 53% of the electorate. Thank you corrupt MSM and failing Public Schools!
P.S. I wonder how many of those death threats came from the democrats in congress? If this comment is too much for you please consider that the dems are daily sentencing death to our way of life.
LimoLibsStink commented:
Ash Soular was right about Obama in all aspects! She is a good musician. It’s sad that some crap heads have threatened her. Where is DA on this one?
AntiObamaLush commented:
behold the violent inherrent on the left
Eriah commented:
Let’s see, she is beautiful, conservative and educated; she is the far left’s nightmare. Fortunately for us she is a strong independent women who will not be silenced by her opposition. Thank you, Ash!
Donk commented:
Ash Soular is a political prophet with a great song and talent. If the song had been anti-Bush she would have been honored by the left on the Today Show, Letterman, etc and signed by a major studio. Instead the left sends her death threats!
“I don’t want no Obamanation” should be sung at future Tea Party rallies. Right on!
infinite commented:
I hope she called the authorities, and they track down the perpetrators.
Let’s then splash them all over the media…
ha!

hattrick commented:
Give this young gifted visionary a contract in Nashville country music. The fascist leftwing pop culture music industry elsewhere will certainly not reward her for talents. They leave that for the spoiled rotten 2 year behavior of rich white marxists like Eddie Vedder and Green Day.
First Class Builder commented:
She is beautiful, smart, has a wonderful voice, and she has talent…
But does she shoot? If I find out this woman also knows how to handle a weapon then I will have to find some way of getting in touch with her… if she is also single.
Not likely if she has so much to offer in one package.
Chisum commented:
First Class Builder,
I have it on good authority that yes she does shoot.
And her boyfriend is 6’10″.
First Class Builder commented:
Yeah, I guess I kinda already knew that she was too much of a good thing to be single. I wonder about her boyfriend though. 6′ 10″? What in the hell were his parents feeding him when he was growing up!?
princetrumpet commented:
Two words: wind cover.
Aside from that, well done. Thanks.
Chisum commented:
What in the hell were his parents feeding him when he was growing up!?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Whatever he wanted! And lots of it!
Steve from Wisconsin commented:
This idea that liberals are tolerant is the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard of. Most of them only tolerate those who agree with them; they call the rest of us names. Those who made the Bush comparison nailed it perfectly. That was
“patriotic dissent”, but somehow this is racism and anarchy? What a farce!
Aine commented:
That’s the tolerant, liberal Left fer ya. “Liberties for me, but not for thee.”
Stay safe and strong, Ms. Soular!
tjexcite commented:
When push comes to shove the only thing that would be hurt from the “death threats” is electrons on their computer as they would not even put on pants to do anything to carry it out. Getting a “death threat” means you got noticed and a thumbs down but not much more.
Brian Bruce commented:
I’ve seen/read/heard about this type of behavior from the so-called “tolerant left” for many years. When I posted a restaurant recruiter’s take on the effect Obamacare would have on the prices at restaurants, I received that type of reaction as well. No death threats, just an intolerance and attitude of “How dare you write something negative about something the President did.” Amazing.
Ann commented:
If her name was Joan Biaz and Bush’s name was used instead of Obama – she would have gotten a standing ovation, on every lame stream media outlet and probable would be on a concert tour. It’s just unbelievable and disgusting how the Democratic Liberals have almost distroyed this country. But I believe that more and more people are waking up and will tolerate a socialist/communistic country – Hope and Faith will prevail
Melanie Loots commented:
Why do these leftist sociopaths like George Gollin think they can make death threats against people and not have to answer for their crimes? Champaign, Illinois is no sanctuary city for dumbasses.
TBogg commented:
Looks like someone already killed her voice and stomped that sucker flat.
Chisum commented:
TDogg,
You sound like you have rabies.
Go bite yourself.
Moron!
mken commented:
Funny how all we heard and saw during the election was the “Obama girl” prancing around sexually teasing us and her Obama; this is the first I’ve heard of this singer who is more talented and better looking and smarter.
RacerJim commented:
Ditto what Ann and mken said. I’m going to forward it to my favorite Obama minion relatives and friends just to urine them off. LOL
jacobus_cambria commented:
This is outrageous. You’d never hear about conservatives threatening an artist that criticized your President.
No conservatives ever threatened the Dixie Chicks, or Pink, or Neil Young. Never. Not in a million years.
Nina Simone commented:
Tell her to do as I have done when I have received such threats in the past, tell the cowards anyone that they send looking to hurt or kill me better be people they are really tired of having around! My best friend is Smith& Wesson
Retha commented:
You are such a beautiful girl and loved the song.
I will pray for you.
MCGIRV commented:
She is a smart talented young woman. Lord bless her.
