Legendary rock music icon and original KISS member Gene Simmons may love it loud, but it would appear that he doesn't love it leftist. In a new interview with CNN, Simmons says he's not a big fan anymore of President Barack Obama (link to full story at bottom).Although Simmons voted for Obama in 2008, Simmons says he now knows a thing or two about Obama, and Simmons' opinion of the man has soured considerably. In particular, Simmons says he "couldn't find somebody, in retrospect, more unqualified."
Somehow I don't think Simmons will be calling Dr. Leftist anytime soon -- not when he's blasting away at the president like this (also from the CNN interview): "Two years in public office, never ran his own company, so after the fact, I'm questioning his qualifications."
Also in the new interview, Simmons takes some shots at Obama & The Dems' health care monstrosity just for good measure. He also proclaims, "I want the government out of my life!"
But before too many tears are falling for Obama, I don't think the news is all bad on the Gene Simmons front. It's not like the two of them have nothing in common. After all, one of Simmons' and KISS' mottos is that "you gotta live like you're on vacation." Obama has that one down pat.
And Simmons & KISS have also previously expressed (in the song "Do You Love Me") their admiration for people who love "fame and masquerade," limousines, private planes, running up huge bills on credit, etc. Again, on all counts, Obama's livin' like he's in Detroit Rock City! Far from some Hard Luck President, he's got every Reason to Live given these facts. Methinks he'll be Back in the Leftist Groove in no time.
However, and not to be a Debbie Downer or a Beth The Girlfriend, but there is at least one aspect of Simmons' statements that cannot so easily be laughed off: When someone like Obama starts having the Metal Gods aligned against him, that can't be a good sign. It's sort of like having the Statue of Liberty open up her mouth and call you a piece of crap, in my estimation.
