The Obama Legacy

The Obama presidency He started out promising but fell at the first hurdle When he tried to give America a health system That covered the working classes, what’s left is An insurance system they can ill afford. He sent back thousands of illegals back, but since he was the darling of the liberal press little was said. Once when he had the chance to become great By declaring Palestine, a free state, he didn’t quite Make it, and his speech ended in platitude. He will be remembered as a suave but weak man Who baulked at the pressure from Israel? He was not a great statesman but buckled under The burden and there are little to remember him By other than what he could have been.
