Lifelong Democrat/Green not a fan of Obama, and open to a GOP Congress.
Singer Sophie B. Hawkins told The Hill on Thursday that "America's being thrown under the bus" by President Barack Obama as he presses forward with his agenda and comes under criticism for his response to the Gulf oil spill.

The singer campaigned on the trail with Hillary Rodham Clinton during her presidential campaign, and told The Hil that she "never believed in [Obama's] philosophy" -- which she said runs contrary to her beliefs in "smaller government, smart government, flexible government."
"I think the writing was on the wall," Hawkins said. "I honestly couldn't believe so many people were into him."
She describes herself as a centrist who's identified with the Democratic and Green parties, but said even though she's never been Republican she wouldn't cross that vote off the list if the right leader came along.
In fact, she's open to a Republican Congress.
"I want the Congress that really is going to listen to the people," she said. "I really don't care what party it is anymore."
Hawkins said she attended a Tea Party rally in Santa Monica, Calif., that was "mostly all Democrats."
There are more derogatory quotes from the singer in the article, but I can't quote it all.
