I like the sound of the song, but the meaning is very clear and is very wrong. It was a protest song when President Bush was moving to invade and occupy Iraq. The song calls for assassinating the president. That method of political change leads to gangs of people murdering leaders they don't like. Moreover the drone strikes and occupations did not end when President Obama was elected. This sound has a nice sound to it, but its message is evil. If this song had inspired someone to commit a murder, Rovics would have it on his conscience.
