Senator Blanche Lincoln, (D-AR), is in deep trouble at home due to her vote on Obamacare, and desperately wants to keep her job. And so she politely asked President Obama to move to the center to avoid a disaster for the Democrats in November. The president coldly told her no, that he was pressing ahead with his healthcare agenda, because if he didn’t there would be nothing to differentiate between his administration and those that had gone before. Senator Lincoln left the Oval Office a sadder but not much wiser woman.
Mein Fuhrer, poor Blanche Lincoln cried
I do not like to shout
But I can’t leave without I’ve tried
To make you turn about
Your policies are driving us
To ruin and defeat
You lefties are depriving us
Of any chance to beat
Opponents who will run on your
Large debts and broken promises
You’ve turned our solid base in four
Short months to doubting Thomases
Obama slowly paced the floor
Not looking at Ms Lincoln
Then silently he closed the door
And said, with cool eyes blinkin’
It matters not that others lose
That’s not what I’m about
And call me Fuhrer if you choose
But please use an umlaut
