During the presidential election campaign of 2008, young white women fell in love with Barack Obama, the cool, the hip, the strong, beautiful black man they lusted for in their dreams. Obama Girl was one of these, gaining momentary fame with her YouTube songs in praise of Barack the Savior. Obama Girl and her sisters got their wish, they got their dream. Unfortunately, their dream has turned out to be a nightmare for the rest of us.
What have you done, Obama Girl?
You’ve put the country in great peril
You’ve put in place a president who seems
To think that dressing up like Mao
And giving emperors a bow
Is just the kind of prez who meets your dreams
But is this what you had in mind
When you and others of your kind
Went to the polls and voted in Barack
Who smiled and said it would be neat
If he had Oval Office seat
And country’s sins forgiven ‘cause he’s black
He’s tripled up the national debt
He’s vowed that Fox News he would get
He’s from Chicago, he means what he says
He has a long name enemies list
With very few that he has missed
You just can’t disagree with this here prez
He wants to gut our good health care
And put in place one that is fair
A health care plan that’s run by union goons
The same fine group of gals and guys
Who work for Acorn, no surprise
Who’ll make you wait for treatment many moons
The unemployment rate is up
The country drinks from bitter cup
The dollar shrinks and China says no way
That we continue buying bonds
With interest paid with magic wands
From now on when we ship you stuff you pay
With all this going on, dear girl
The man you loved is on a whirl
Wind tour of places he can bow and scrape
To kings and emperors alike
And as Iran prepares to strike
He thinks by doing nothing we’ll escape
What have you done, Obama Girl?
You’ve placed the country in great peril
You’ve put in place a president who seems
To want the country on its ear
And what is more, we greatly fear
There’s more to come than in our blackest dreams
