I am not much of a fan of country music; however, I will listen from time-to-time with Dr. Smiles as she likes the genre. I cannot name one Hank Williams, Jr. song, but I am familiar with his long-time Monday Night Football introduction. According to the Associated Press, Williams compared President Obama to Hitler and said that Obama and Vice President Biden was “the enemy”. In response, ESPN pulled Williams’ introduction from the Monday Night Football telecast.
In released statement, Williams declared the he “always respected the office the office of the president.” If comparing Obama to Hitler and labeling him as “the enemy” is respect, I hate to see what he considers disrespect.
