You Can'T Win... (For Pres. Obama)

World famous runners will tell you the first rule of 
track:
Which is you can’t win a race if you’re looking back.
You can ‘t win a race if you are not focused and 
disciplined,
You can't get to Heaven if you continue to sin.
You can't win a race if you don't sweep around your own front door,
You can't win a race if you are always finger pointing and taking score.
Just take a note from President Obama’s 2008 campaign, 
You will see that he never looked back and refrained, 
From dousing his opponents with equal doses of venom,
He just relied on the intelligence and talent within 
him.
He didn’t wince when they called him a rock star and 
inexperienced,
That is why they have been calling him commander in 
chief ever since! 
You can't win a race by playing the race card,
You can't win a race by being a cartoon drawing 
retard!
So my friends if you have learned anything today:
It is that you certainly can’t win a race if you are 
looking back,
World class runners will tell you that it’s the 
first rule of track.

Really enjoyed this poem Doreen. I agree with what you say as too much political debate is focused on the past. Hope Obama can change things for the better in America but I fear the American institutions will hinder his progress. A country so steeped in capitalism will find it hard to make genuine progress for the poor. I hope Obama proves me wrong, though.
