The Buck Stops Here

The promises fell as excuses became, the voice of the man who is casting the blame While off on vacation these moment to share Informing the masses he hadn’t a care “It comes from another who made this design,” he mumbles and stutters in televised time “Do not look at me for I haven’t a clue It is obvious now from the scenes out on view” “The pipeline I stopped and the border is free, but this is much different you cannot blame me” So now as they die harshly falling from planes Their old way of life, not a fraction remains The enemy now holds the key to the vault Yet still he insists it’s another man’s fault “I’ve stopped everything he had put into law But this I choose not for you can’t have it all” He has no regrets, the one truth he has told While winking at China, his soul quickly sold He sits in his chair with a beady eyed leer Counting his yen for the buck does stop here
The Afghan people have been betrayed as this weak and ineffective President vacations.
