Peggy Noonan describes the current Obama administration and the current national political scene as a disaster for the country, and sees clearly that the problem is that our leaders are, in her words, “callous children”, children of privilege, children who have never witnessed or felt the dark side of life, and who have no idea how to fix the problems we now have. The Children’s Crusade that culminated in the election of an unknown, unprepared, and supremely unqualified Barack Obama to the presidency, is now running the country over a cliff. Peggy Noonan joined the Obama Children’s Crusade and followed the Pied Piper, reveling in His promises for a better world, a world in which there were no enemies, only friends we have not yet kissed and fondled.
Come children, my children, let’s go on Crusade
To make the world better by far
Than it’s been these past years of Bush’s charade
Come follow the Obama star
Yes that was the cry back in twenty oh eight
A long time ago now it seems
A time so long past only history can state
They found that those long vanished dreams
Have long turned to dust and to memories gone
The Crusade a horrible joke
They went to sleep happy but coming of dawn
Showed the world was not quite yet ein volk
The children soon saw that the Crusade they’d found
And followed Messiah to Rome
And boarded the ships that were Holy Land bound
Soon found they would never come home
So now they write columns and ring dainty hands
Exclaiming how misunderstood
They now are for joining the Crusader bands
Determined to do the world good
And how all their dreams for Obama have crashed
Collapsing like dust in the wind
Their dreams for a better world ravaged and dashed
Forgive me dear Lord for I’ve sinned
