Singer Sophie B. Hawkins: Obama throwing country 'under the bus,' choking on spill response

The slow awakening of Obama supporters continues to enlighten. After the jump there are some great quotes.

H/t The Hill:

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.

Hawkins, who scored Top 10 Billboard hits in the 1990s with "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" and "As I Lay Me Down," is donating all proceeds from her new single, "The Land, the Sea and the Sky," to the Waterkeeper Alliance, which has launched coordinated efforts to combat the effects of the spill.

She was also critical of the White House earlier this month in a Huffington Post editorial, writing, "BP executives are pointing fingers while the government continues hand-wringing. ... The irony that Obama rushes in the lawyers while the well is still spewing is not lost on most Americans."
