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?

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.
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.”
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.
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.”
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!
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.
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.”
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.
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!
