Warren Isn't the Only Buffett Who Supports Barack

Back in my DJ days at WVUM my grandparents called in and asked to hear some Jimmy Buffett. Mr. Margaritaville isn't really a college radio staple, but I did have a PSA that Jimmy had recorded for the Save the Manatee Club. So although I'm not really demographically inclined to...
