Bad Politician

One man won’t help reach the poor
Why only the rich?
Why not poor?

He thinks he’s better than us
Why the big charade?
Why cocky?

Being President he’ll learn
Could we vote for him?
Who is he?

A definite rotten man
Bad politician?
A scapegoat?

I agree with Linda and need to say we have our share of them in Canada too. They gave themselves huge raises and now are talking about "revising" the pension system. I guess there are a lot of us fed up with what goes on and like the head on way you deal with it!
