Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Rhyme

Chinese Checkers

I ain't surprised by anything I hear on the news nowadays!
The way the gov'mint is bein' run just leaves me in a daze!
This mornin' I heard another of Obama's schemes has gone sour!
Seems that this lulu will add more to China's balance of power!

His stim-scheme gave millions to the A123 Systems Company in Michigan,
To make batteries for hybrid autos - his much-touted transportation plan!
He boasted to workers that this would fuel the economy for years to come,
Yet, it seems the place has gone south and its operations will succumb!

'Tis well-known that we are in hock to the Chinese for a ton of bucks,
And here is the irony of the sorry scheme and a most important crux;
China is buying the place with our money - the whole kit and caboodle!
American taxpayers are left holding the bag - not worth a Chinese noodle!

You won't find this story on MSNBC, CNN or CBS - only on Fox News!
Other media will support Barak no matter what, spewing their biased views!
Hey!  That's our hard-earned tax money you're blowin' Barak Hussein!
Are you gonna cut your wasteful spendin'?  We're waitin' for you to explain!

Debbie Duncan January 5, 2013 at 5:37 PM You Bob, are absolutely right on again, I read back in the 80's "when a light skinned man of color is in power ,that's the beginning of the end,,,,and they will treat him like a god. They will only see when it is too late. "like the bible says "sheep to slaughter" Well Bob "Happy New Year ;}

Lucilla Carrillo December 17, 2012 at 10:46 AM Good poem Robert; But what can we do. They got power and they think they also have the brains. To them I think it's only a game. We lose. Thanks for sharing. Lucllla

The Situation December 15, 2012 at 6:02 AM Three networks to one.I like those odds.but why are we borrowing while we're giving to other countries? The money is going somewhere.maybe in the pockets of the top 2 percent who can't afford to pay taxes. Think. The Situation December 15, 2012 at 6:06 AM Think don't be told what to think.

Tim Ryerson December 10, 2012 at 10:31 PM He will never have to explain, Bob...that is the outrage and tragedy of it all...his liberal media buddies will always be there to protect (and never report) his little ploys and plots... Is it possible to completely destroy a country in 8 years?...Lord I pray not...God help us get through these next four years...you nailed it! - Tim The Situation December 15, 2012 at 9:59 AM "Fraud" that's name calling. Not reasoning. Your retired military and it's your entitlements they want to cut.your shooting your self in the foot. Think.
