People with really screwed up views: Sophie B. Hawkins
Singer Sophie B. Hawkins told The Hill on Thursday that "America's being thrown under the bus" by President Barack Obama as he presses forward with his agenda and comes under criticism for his response to the Gulf oil spill.

<...>

The singer campaigned on the trail with Hillary Rodham Clinton during her presidential campaign, and told The Hil from her tour bus that she "never believed in (Obama's) philosophy" -- which she said runs contrary to her beliefs in "smaller government, smart government, flexible government."

"I think the writing was on the wall," Hawkins said. "I honestly couldn't believe so many people were into him."

She describes herself as a centrist who's identified with the Democratic and Green parties, but said even though she's never been Republican she wouldn't cross that vote off the list if the right leader came along.

In fact, she's open to a Republican Congress.

"I want the Congress that really is going to listen to the people
," she said. "I really don't care what party it is anymore."

Hawkins said she attended a Tea Party rally in Santa Monica, Calif., that was "mostly all Democrats."

Centrist? Democrats and Greens for a "smaller government"? Republicans who "listen to the people"? Tea Party Democrats?

1. Tea parties that are "mostly Dems" are not tea parties with Dems.
Idiot.

12. They might be in Santa Monica
It's not exactly a bastion of Republicanism.

7. Wackadoodle.
Stuff like this is why I never listen to celebrities, actors, sports people, on anything political, from either side.

They always sound like ignorant fools.

9. She needs to stick with things she understands. Her singing.
And focus her community involvement to one thing. Water.

I would think at her age she would have a better understanding of life. But it must be the rose tinted glasses.

11. That sucks
I like her music too. Ah well. I try hard to keep my feelings about celebrities' work and their political views separate.

13. She was on FAUX Friends
I figured the only reason they booked her was she's a political asshole.
