They never even mention the word "president" in the whole album.. or make any references to any political position in any way.

Well if they were happy with him they wouldn't be writing their stupid 'america sucks stop being a robot lolz' lyrics.

Again, the example of the Thermals: They're not quite punk but their albums in 04 and 06 were political, after Obama was elected they wrote an album about mortality, becuase they know when to SHUT UP.

I completely read over that 'political agenda' part: they don't have one.

They're going to complain about whatever hot button issue is big, becuase kids love that shit. First it's 'I hate Bush' now it's 'I don't trust Obama'. Actually, I haven't listened to more than two songs off the album, so I might be wrong, but that seems to be the case.

Two points: anti-conformist is an agenda. Not a particularly useful or correct one, but it is. Second, it's possible to have a political agenda that hates Bush and *also* dislikes Obama.

Point.

They still need to shut up imo.

Dookie was brilliant.

They named it spot on.
