The Lyrics

Could the voters have made a terrible mistake in 2008? They didn't in 1976! I imagine the President singing this old barbershop-style song with a chorus of his czars...probably from a teleprompter. ;D





What's going on? Aren't I the "chosen one"?
This stinking job - it used to be such fun
When I was out on that campaign trail of gold
I could really sermonize
And oh how we could organize!

Now that I'm here - my godly aura's gone
They still should worship me!
Why don't those dummies wise up
We never thought they'd rise up
Now they say I'm too much on T.V.!



My Health Care's stalled - and parts must be remade
Not simple like - when we forced cap and trade
Why isn't this like Chicago politics?
This is not democracy!
I'll teach those bums to f*ck with me!

S.E.I.U. and ACORN must get tough,
Punch them back twice as hard!
Intimidate the nation!
Preserve my reputation!
Then come have a beer here in my yard




;D

In my opinion, if John Kerry had won in 2004, we wouldn't be in this mess right now.

a childs first defense - blaim someone else. in every honest persons opinion, liberals dont controll thier rats but rather encouraged this mess and continue to do so. at least the republican voters rebelled against thier rats. it's called integrity. it cost republicans the election but repub voters hope someday for demoncrats to grow up and police thier muslums, liars, cheats, thiefs who tax the working class to buy illegal immigrant votes, so on, you know the game, half of you still play it. . . enjoy paying for it now that you enable it so proudly.

OMR - Absolutely great take on the rabblerousing going on at all the town halls except for one man's town hall where the SS would discharge in short order anyone who even raised their voice. I raise my Cain to you Ribber.
