LOS ANGELES -- Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama is getting a little bit of support from one of the big names in country music.Toby Keith said that he's backing the Illinois senator and fellow Democrat. Keith is best known among non-country music folks for his post-Sept. 11 song, "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue." The song features lines aimed at the Taliban in Afghanistan like, "We lit up your world like the Fourth of July."
But Keith has said the song was more of a patriotic tune than a pro-war song.The county music star said that he was impressed that Obama visited Afghanistan to learn about the region. Keith, a self-described Democrat, said Obama is "the best Democratic candidate we've had since Bill Clinton."
