Over 40 years ago, Pete Seeger wrote a song ostensibly about an Army platoon on stateside maneuvers but actually referring to the escalation of the Vietnam War.  Here are the lyrics:
It was back in nineteen forty-two,
I was a member of a good platoon.
We were on maneuvers in-a Loozianna,
One night by the light of the moon.
The [...]

I just heard Chris Wallace talk about having a press lunch with Pres. Obama today and that Obama seemed quite sure of himself, unfazed by the Massachusetts election last week and the subsequent collapse of Obamacare, and looking forward to his State of the Union address tonight.
