Folks are really getting into the swing of President Obama's "channeling" of Jimi Hendrix with his "they talk about me like a dog" quip right out of Hendrix's song "Stone Free."
Political commentator Michelle Malkin has a post at her site by Doug Powers, titled, "The Barack Obama Experience — Taxes: Bold as Love." (Jimi's band was the Jimi Hendrix Experience and their second album was "Axis: Bold As Love.")
In the article, Powers noted:
As it turns out, some intrepid researchers are speculating that Obama might have been channeling a line from the Jimi Hendrix song “Stone Free.”
I was skeptical at first, but it kind of makes sense, because another line in that song is “I got to, got to, got to get away” — perfect for somebody who just came off several weeks worth of vacations.
This is just the beginning of the fun. Powers and people commenting on the article came up with some clever Hendrixesque lines. The one I like is one from Powers:
“Spanish Castle Magic” would cover the first lady’s Antoinette-esque trip to Costa del Sol.

By the way, the first Jimi Hendrix Experience album, "Are You Experienced?" includes a song called "Manic Depression." Perhaps it is fitting that Jimi Hendrix is getting this attention as this month marks the 40th anniversary of his death.
