The Puppet In Chief

Yes I can refuse to believe the hype when my core views keep getting ripe while you refuse to halt this swipe. I bail on this chief, our puppet speaker, as my belief hails me seeker since this relief can’t get bleaker. So, who owns you, sir? Is it Goldman Sachs? Does big oil blur all our attacks? I must concur your pride is lax. This grand distraction won’t steal my thunder as your faction buckles under civil action while you wonder.

Gripping, John. Many of our elected officials have special interests, be it oil, insurers, physicians or others, pulling their strings. When I voted for our president, I believed he was not "tied" to special interests, but now I'm wondering what happened to the promises made on the campaign trail. Thought-provoking and very insightful write! Love, Carolyn
