Oh Obama

Oooooh! Obama! Hear the praise of media as it sings Though we thought you’d gone You’ve lingered on In the Swamp still pulling on the strings Oooooh! Obama You were blest with politics your game Your success complete It sure smells sweet And the wealth comes right behind the fame Oooooh! Obama every night you sit and count your dough No more income sparse You scratch your head (sic) Planning to make more and make it grow You say to race prejudice: Fye! But without it would you reach so high And when we saaaaaaaay! You’re woke in every waaaay! It surely means that you’re doing well now Obama B Obama, Okay B O B A M A Go Obama! [To be sung to the tune of OKLAHOMA! From the musical: OKLAHOMA!] 22 March 2022

What a crock filler Obama was and is' I'll never forget his (promise to dig the U S Out of its figurative hole) someone find me A ladder..' Or should that be leader.?

I don't know if the right word for B.O. is 'execrable' or 'despicable' -- or whether Joe Biden's already latched on to both of those in his first 14 months in office. (Seems like forever, doesn't it?!). :) gw

Everything going his way! He can’t say:No! If only we could start all over again. Thanks for the response, Suzanne.

Can't get rid of him. As long as he can be manipulated by Insiders -- in other words, will flow with in any personally enriching stream, regardless of direction...he is a candidate. Funny, he has wealth, fame, yet seems so small to many of us unnamed. There isn't enough money in the world that would made me desire to change places.

Thanks for your perceptive observations - more serious than my rhyming diversions. I am always grateful for your feedback, Joe
