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!]

Gershon Wolf Date: 3/27/2022 8:22:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Geoffrey Brewer Date: 3/28/2022 6:39:00 PM Let us hope that many a new dawn will come.Thanks, Gershon.

Joe Dimino Date: 3/25/2022 5:57:00 AM 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.
