Political Rant Warning: I read this article about our President’s latest speech channeling Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt’s New Nationalism speech in Osawatomie, Kansas in 1910, was intended to unite a Republican Party divided by a reform movement seeking curbs on industrial might.

This is one of the funniest guys I’ve ever heard, and so creative with his lyrics:
