Talented guy displaying in this instance a total lack of class imo, and quite a bit of contempt for his audience too. The Bush cheap shots were/are a regular part of his act. #Fail

STFU AND SING ALEX! No one cares about your politics but you!

Actually glad I found this . . . I was just on the way to buy some of his stuff online. Now I can spend the money on something else. He's a talented guy and I hope he has a long career. But he needs to follow the advice Townes Van Zandt said his mother gave him early in his career "Play and sing, don't talk, play and sing."

A decent song but Reckless Kelly does it far better. And yeah, shhhhhhhhh, amigo

Lol. A lot of butthurt white people leaving comments. Makes me chuckle inside. As your Chicano brother I think your music is great, and I could care less about your political beliefs, because I'm not a sensitive spoon-fed assclown. :)

Love this song - your political comments, not so much. You are a performer, dude - leave it at that.

@jerseytarzan2 9.2% unemployment?!!?? Ha ha. In your dreams. Try doubling that at least and in many places it is over 20%. Here's a note for you: the government lies.

@deaddoc id build a wall to keep bush out.

This is why we can't have bi-partisanship because, a guy like ALejandro thinks the fact that he has muscial talent he is an expert on politics. And so many douchebags in Washington believe that too. Meanwhile Alejandro does not attck his friend Bruce Sprringsteen for avoiding NJ property taxes. Alenjandro why don't you write a song that fixes entitlement spending, solves all the problems in the Mddel East and fixes 9.2% unemployment and 50% plus employment among our most vulnaerable?

@ragebeam2 Because he has a personality. You on the other hand are a drone.

@YooperG Don't try to fool me, he's an interloper with other allegiances. Like that soccer game in LA the other day, where all the native born Americans booed the U.S. team, booed the National Anthem, and held the award ceremonies in Spanish.

@deaddoc yeah, what gives a native-born American the right to criticize his gov't / oh year, the 1st Amendment. Never mind.

SquirlyDounut

It is America,everybody gets and opinion. This duke earned himself a mic to speak it into, furthermore he is getting paid dearly to do it! Live with it. I will NEVER stop talking about what Bush allowed to happen to this country while everyone was out shopping with money they didn't have. Notice I did say he did anything to the country, not smart enough to come up with the plan just dumb enough to let it happen.
