Not a Cut
President Obama says he’s going to give back 5 percent
To show solidarity with workers in the government.
It’s a really nice gesture
And keeps eyes on the sequester,
But then, we’re all still going to be paying his rent.
The Right: “Obama is a socialist!”
The Left: “Obama is a corporatist!”
But in this endless game of “Yo Mama,”
Match point goes to Obama:
“Me? I’m just a political pragmatist.”
As an environmentalist he’s gotten high billing,
And as a man of principle, he seems willing.
And whatever the motivation
Behind Obama’s vacillation,
We’re glad he finally came out against offshore drilling.
Now Obama’s a competitive fellow,
On the court he bullies and bellows.
Besides the ‘Bipartisan Shove,’
He’s developed a new move —
They’re calling it ‘Kissing the Elbow.’
Being president ain’t always fun,
Like flying on Air Force One.
But then comes Thanksgiving,
And to earn his living,
The Prez has to pardon a tom.
Cute video in The Capitol Steps genre. Now can everyone just get off his back?
He can stand in front of the teleprompter and yap,
And dispense platitudes, parables and pap.
But try as he will
Prez Obama can’t fill
That yawning chasm — the Emotion Gap.
