Rob Schiffmann, an old friend of the DoubleSpeak gang and a great songwriter in NYC sent along this little tune he put together after watching the inauguration last week.

You may remember another song that Rob wrote from a past episode of DoubleSpeakShow. You can check out his band, The Hillary Step (no, not Hillary Clinton) here.
