Cooking the Books

August 8, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

No one said the presidency was a cotillion,
But when S&P did the downgrade, Obama saw vermillion.
However, one has to ask,
If Standard & Poor’s is so good at math,
How come their estimate was off by two trillion?

So, He’s Irish

May 24, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

The tornados left Missouri in a mess
And folks there are in serious distress.
But leave it to the right-wingers
To catch their panties in the wringer
Over Obama knocking back a Guinness.

Blacker Than Thou

May 19, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

We thought with the demise of the “Birthers”
That we’d see fewer Obama attackers.
But along comes Cornel West,
With a new racial litmus test,
At the head of a movement called “Blackers.”

GOP’s Immigration Solution

May 11, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

President Obama yesterday addressed all the haters
And the jingoists and immigration debaters.
He took the Republicans to task,
And predicted they’ll ask
To surround the nation with a moat full of gators.

An Apt Description

May 6, 2011June 19, 2015 Buck Banks

Some of the names he’s been called make us cringe,
But now in the wake of his popularity binge,
Leave it to Bill Maher
To nickname Obama
Not “DJ B.O.,” but “The Multitasking Ninja.”

Barack Was Born!

April 27, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Obama finally put to bed that birther jive.
Though we always knew that crap was contrived.
Now we’ve seen the document,
And it’s a legal testament
That proves Barack was born — in Hawaii — alive!

Jindal’s Birther Gamble

April 20, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer did something good —
She vetoed the “birther bill,” as she should.
But when it comes to birther bill signing,
Not everyone’s declining —
Louisiana’s Bobby Jindal says he would.

Crappy Menu Choice

March 31, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Being the president can sometimes be a bitch,
What with fighting two wars and an economy in the ditch.
But Obama’s a worrier
And a reluctant warrior,
Which is why he characterized Libya a “turd sandwich.”

What’s Up, Doc?

March 30, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Monroe had one, from ocean to ocean.
Jackson had one to deal with the Indians.
We have to be willing
To kill to prevent killing —
Pretty much sums up the Obama Doctrine.

Following the Frogs

March 22, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

The Republicans say Obama’s stuck on the bench,
That international cooperation has a cowardly stench.
But don’t let ’em fool ya,
It’s not about going in to Libya —
It’s just that we we went in AFTER the French!

Dishonest to a Fault
Buck Banks | Jul. 22, 2026

From Trump’s “stolen election” lies, we can’t get no relief,
He carps on about stolen votes, but he never names the thief.
Somebody needs to tell this guy
Americans aren’t buying his lies,
And that he’s turned us into the United States of Disbelief.

    $4,600

    President Donald Trump is asking for $1,500,000 million for the military for next year. That’s close to $600 billion (adjusted for inflation) more than we were spending on the military in fiscal year 2025, before Trump took office, Alternet reports. This increase is huge by any measure. It comes to around $4,600 per household. It is around 8% of the total budget.

    61% to 35%

    Wall Street Journal: “Around 40% of voters in the 2024 election said the economy was their top issue, far outstripping any other matter. And those voters favored Donald Trump by 60% to 38%. Many say they were moved by his pledges to tame inflation, rebuild U.S. infrastructure, cut red tape and trim government waste. … About a year and a half later, more voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy than approve, 61% to 35%, an average of polls by the Cook Political Report found this month.”
