Obama and the Fixer?

dreamweaver

I've seen some reviews and people's reactions to current PJ material and such, suggesting that there is some tie with the fact that Obama is now in office. What's funny is that I don't really think the band has an intention of this, as I heard Stone say himself that the record is stearing away from being 'Political' like past records...
I know people may like to think so, and spread the word, but I can't think of a more delusional act. There are alot of people, including myself who would rather not think about politics while enjoying some music. Also, those who may immediately reject the music because of this.
Now, I know that some issues are important, BUT I think who I'm pointing my fingers at are those who really don't know what they're saying and spread slighty altered information..
I believe there are radicals out there who will do anything to plant their own seed in someone elses mouth.

while Got Some carries obvious political undertones..........I think the Fixer is more left open to interpretation......

I was worried when I first saw the title of the song, mainly because I think it was going to be an all out Obama celebration song. After hearing the lyrics it doesn't seem to be going down such a one way street, its seems like they can be applied to just about anything.

I saw a reviewer say something like "it's a good song, It's probably written about Obama being in office" I mean come on, it's ridiculous.

i don't think this is about obama. prior to hearing it and only knowing the title, i was a little nervous that it would be some bizarro-world bushleaguer/obama worship number.

but it's not, thankfully. it's simply about taking action to make things better, and trying to stay positive when things don't look so great.

a great message for the times we're living in.

Yeah, the thought of Obama being "The Fixer" is hilarious.

So far, it seems as though Bush kicked American in the nuts. He then slapped Obama a high five and Obama is now kicking American when its on the ground trying to recover from Bush's nut shot

Out of curiosity, how did anyone make any link between a song title for an unreleased song and the President?

I remember seeing this pop up earlier this year/late last year/. It just doesn't make sense to me how any correlation could be made. Anyone?

Mmmm, without starting a too big of a political debate, I do think this is somewhat of an harsh statement. From a person outside the United States I can tell you - and I also think that the world perceives it like this - that there is a HUGE difference between Bush and Obama. I also think that the domestic policies are way different. So I'm not sure how this tag-team idea is established or how this image is created within the borders of the United States. I for one see a def change in direction regarding politics.

But like I said; I do not want to start a political debate.

For me, I don't think that Fixer has anything to do with Obama. It's funny tho however that after two anti-Bush albums, we (the fans) link every song of PJ now with the White House. That can't be their attention...

I see nothing political in this song, or any relation to obama. I still like McCready's idea that Ed is The Fixer, fixin up all the musical ideas being presented to him by the band. This thought adds to the tongue and check vibe the lyrics have.

I don't think there is anything political about this song.

I think it is more likely that the song is about family and relationships, about taking care of loved ones.

Well, Obama's highest approval rating inside the US was 69%, now its at 49% and dropping.

The stimulas bill is mostly going to waste. I did work at a totally rich suburb of Chicago, and they bought a new Zamboni(thing that resurfaces the ice between hockey periods) that cost over $100,000 with stimulas money. Homes there cost well over $1 million, they should pay for their own Zambonis.

We all made the choice to stop buying GM and Chrysler cars, so he forced us to buy the companies instead.

He thinks he has one giant credit card and the tab is now at $12 trillion. We cant spend our way out of dept, he just doesnt get it. Bush's bailouts and multiple stimulas bills didnt work, why does Obama's think that his will work?

My point is the people that write reviews who say, "the song HAS to be about Obama".. which to me is really not cool.

I am there. You boys got it right. I was having fun being a liberal, and then Barack had to come in and slam me back down to earth. Sorry Eddie, I wanted to be there with you in utopia.
