To say the least, I am getting a bit of flack for suggesting that John McCain could have a constitutional problem under Article II’s eligibility provision. In the interest in lightening up the discussion, I offer the following as a possible rallying song for Panamanian and Panamanian-born friends alike. It appears that with a little tweaking and the indulgence of our Canadian neighbors, O Canada seems remarkably apropos.
O Panama!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True Birth strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Panama, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Panama, we stand on guard for thee.
O Panama, we stand on guard for thee.

How about Van Halen’s “Panama”??
I checked, the lyrics just would not work. Far too steamy for a dignified debate.
