If you are a Crimson Tide football fan you should vote Democrat for president

Source: al.com by Charles J. Dean

Since 1925 the Crimson Tide has won/claimed 16 national championships in football, the latest coming Monday night.

Eleven of those championships have come with a Democrat in the White House, more than double the number of titles that have come with Republicans in the White House.

In the history since 1925 and Bama's first championship, eight Democrats and eight Republicans have held office as president. In the past 90 years since that first title, Democrats have held the nation's highest office for 47 years and Republicans for 43 years.

Democratic presidents who were in office when Bama won titles include:
Franklin Roosevelt, 1934 and 1941; John F. Kennedy, 1961; Lyndon Johnson, 1964 and 1965; Jimmy Carter, 1978 and 1979.

During President Barack Obama's seven years as president, Bama has won four national championships, by far the most of any president, and a president whose last name if you drop the O spells, of course, BAMA.

Why we need a constitutional amendment and "Four more years!"
