HOLY SHIT! Bush is president again?????
Bite your tongue!!! I like your picture of John and Paul. Do you think they would approve of your politics?? They were always so liberal. So were Frank Sinatra and Elvis. They are probably spinning in their graves over what's posted with their names being used. Geez.
Elvis was an opportunist when it came to his politics. He tended to support whoever was in the Office at the time. In fact, when he met with Nixon, he asked Nixon to ban all four members of The Beatles from entering the U.S. According to Peter Guralnick
(music critic, writer on music, and historian of US American popular music, who wrote three books on Elvis),
"The Beatles, Elvis said, as if he were tentatively trying out a new tack, had been a focal point for anti-Americanism. They had come to this country, made their money, then gone back to England where they fomented anti-American feeling. 'The President,' Krogh's memo continued, 'nodded in agreement and expressed some surprise.' Presley indicated to the President in a very emotional manner that he was 'on your side.' Presley kept repeating that he wanted to be helpful, that he wanted to restore some respect for the flag, which was being lost." The singer "also mentioned that he is studying Communist brainwashing..." Guralnick adds, "Presley indicated that he is of the opinion that the Beatles laid the groundwork for many of the problems we are having with young people by their filthy unkempt appearances and suggestive music while entertaining in this country during the early and middle 1960s. He advised that the Smothers Brothers, Jane Fonda, and other persons in the entertainment industry of their ilk have a lot to answer for in the hereafter for the way they have poisoned young minds by disparaging the United States in their public statements and unsavory activities."
Elvis was a strong supporter of Nixon. In a letter he wrote to Nixon, suggesting they meet, Presley told the President he was a huge admirer of everything he was doing, and asked to be made a "Federal Agent at Large" in order to help get the country off drugs. Nixon duly made Presley a "Federal Agent at large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, presenting him with the appropriate badge.
