Before I go to bed, I feel that a poem is in order--a poem that quickly summarizes my feelings about our esteemed President and this noble, patriotic, economy-stimulating debt deal.
A poem about a marvelous plan that has the blessing of the three major parties: Democrat, Republican, and Tea.
AHEM
Obama the Victim.
The American People?
Let Them Eat Cake.
He's a victim when the Democrats command staggering majorities in both houses of Congress (09-10).
He's a victim because he inherited a mess from Dubya.
He's a victim because the Republicans refuse to cooperate with him.
The American People?
Let Them Eat Cake.
He's a victim because the Republicans take advantage of Obama's "good faith" compromises.
He's a victim because he renominates people like Ben Bernanke (Bush) and selects people like Larry Summers to give him economic advice [regarding how to quickly ship more American jobs overseas].
He's a victim because no ones sees how much better his military actions are than Bush's are.
The American People?
Let Them Eat Cake.
He's a victim because he stole the health care plan right out of George H.W. Bush's playbook.
He's a victim because the Republicans won't smile every time he cuts taxes for the superrich.
He's a victim because the Republicans won't pat him on the back for putting "everything on the table."
The American People?
Let Them Eat Cake.
He's a victim because the 14th Amendment just doesn't seem to be working.
He's a victim because he can't do anything to stop the Republicans' actions against unions.
He's a victim because Wall Street donates to his campaigns way too handsomely.
The American People?
Let Them Eat Cake.
He's a victim because real economic stimulus is just too expensive.
He's a victim because regulating derivatives and taxing them is a job killer.
He's a victim because Medicare can't work for all.
The American People?
Let Them Eat Cake.
He's a victim because we can't increase revenues now.
But who knows?
There's always tomorrow.
There's always tomorrow for revenues, and the public option, and Iraq, and Afghanistan, and Libya, and alternative energy, and workers rights, and education, and infrastructure, and tax fairness, and Medicare, and Medicare, and Social Security...
Oh, POOR, POOR OBAMA! I guess the only thing to do for such a lowly guy is to give him a second chance in 2012! Maybe then he'll do better!
ROTFLMAO!
