Some people want to change the national anthem.
There is a petition to the White House to change the national anthem to “Ignition” by R.Kelly.
So far, there are more than seven thousand signatures.
The petition says, “we ask you to recognize the evolution of this beautiful country and give us an anthem that better suits the glorious nation we have become.”

Are you kidding me? But seeing how idiotic the people are in this government, they may allow these idiots to win…
This country has no morals anymore, it is a wasteland….

Good God, this country is in worse shape than I thought!
smh
Yeah, it is. How did we get to the point where so many old white people forgot what jokes were?
PainterDan
Well the essence of a joke is… that it is actually funny…

Thats what happends when you vote for a hip hop president, You never seen Bush or Clinton focusing on basketball , worrying about what gay people think, wives handing out freaking awards for Oscar's, basically beating around the bush and avoiding the real problems in america. Mitt Romney , we need you.
Dwayne
So glad people like you "James" are not running this country. I guess we should vote for a redneck president and all live in the hills of Kentucky or maybe we should go back to the days of slavery and lynchings, or maybe we should focus on the "REAL PROBLEMS" of America and that is the lack of respect for fellow Americans. For those of you that don't like what this President stands for maybe you should moved to Irag, or Nigeria or Afghanistan and se what they truly feel about "YOU" Americans????
james
Im all for slavery asshole
And
So James you have a submission fetish huh???
Dwayne
Oh really, well you also must be a SON of bitch!!

Hey James, "Happends"??? Check your spelling and yourself. The words you use shows society how you feel about yourself.

Obama didn't start the petition James.
Jacqueline shepard
I dont think that the song needs to be the national anthem! But just because we got a down to earth president; it doesnt mean that he is not focusing on the problems we have today!!! And if Mitt Romney was the president i know fo sure this world would be in worser shape!!! Just like it was when Bush was in office!!!
james
"worser shape". Wow you're stupid.
Stedman
No you're stupid you knew what she meant. This isn't English class, she's just voicing her opinion
Harry
Are you kidding me? Obama doesn't know how to run a business or balance a budget, his taxes are hindering employment. If your lucky enough to find a job, it will probably part time.
jeff
no thanks standing on a corner is not the american dream…….. you could just stay on the sidewalk id hate to ruin my car
Dwayne
How about learning how to spell before calling another person "stupid"!!!!!
Stedman
Using that song as the national anthem I think would be one of the dumbest things in American history. The song is clearly about partying, drinking and a guy asking a girl to make love to him. We couldn't possibly think it is okay to represent our country in that kind of way. *This is coming from an 18 year old*
Brian Miillersmith
Agree with you completely. There are many cool tunes about partying, etc. – but none (really) should be used as a national anthem. BTW – ours, the music at least, is to the tune of an old drinking song.
NOW! Takes Canada's National Anthem. That one's totally kool!!!

Great from one poorly sung song to another. Get rid of the words to the national anthem and the song would be fine. There's on a dozen people that can sing it anyway.
Wolfman
Wow., you ARE a complete moron!

You are the same mope who commented that the Putbulls be put down cruelly.

Has anyone seen R. Kelly's criminal record? Sex with minors and child pornography and much more.
Why isn't he in prison?

Being a African American female in society today, ppl would say its "wrong" for me to not like Obama, but I have no respect for any politician. All liars, but this story has nothing to do with Ovama. Ppl are just trying to be funny. As far as we know, this could just be a silly made up story, to get hair brained citizens upset over nothing. Worry about where your tax dollars are being spent, instead of this crap. The news is wrong for posting this. As a country, get over race and let's worry about our conceal and carry rights, to protect ourselves.

This is grea,t is dennis rodman going to sing it at the next meeting with the little butterball, next time they get together to shoot some hoops…………..
Dennis this would mean more with more bling on your facea bit*()&^…..

And "some people" are idiots. Namely, the thousands who have signed this petition…

There is nothing wrong with the National Anthem the way that it is now. The thing is teaching people the words to the song and the meaning. Some people don't never know the Declaration or the founding Fathers. This is what our children need to be learning , not who has the hottest video, house, car etc……. and don't get it wrong R Kelly is an exceptional entertainer, but not a good role model. Just my opinion.
Dwayne
Now thats a respectable opinion to be made. I believe our National anthem should not be changed but I don't have to resort to name calling to address my opinion, and we're not going back to slavery and ignorance and some of you will have us to be.

HAHAHAHAHAHA….. DID THAT GAL JUST SAY WE WOULD BE IN "WORSER" SHAPE….LOL WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW… I'M AGAINST ROMNEY TOO, BUT DANG…. I think we are in "worser" shape right now… because the voters are illiterate, and no one cares.
