Thank The Rubes

The Sunday morning talking heads, the six o’clock news, the media types like Chris Matthews, Salon, Newsweek, Time, Mother Jones, and all the rest of the media except for Fox, all tell us we should be thankful to Barack Obama for leading us to the promised land. But for those of us who can’t bring ourselves to thank Obama, whom do we thank for destroying the country? Why we thank the rubes who voted him twice.

If the country’s going down the tubes
Thank the rubes
If the people now in power leave you numb
Thank the dumb
If the feathers on our eagle start to molt
Thank the dolt
If you cry for what the country stood for once
Thank the dunce

One Born Every Minute

P. T. Barnum, who knew a sucker when he saw one, said there’s a sucker born every minute, and he was right. The problem is that in Barnum’s time the suckers only hurt themselves when they bought the ticket to see the fake bearded lady, while today’s suckers hurt the country when they vote for the oily voiced politician who promises them free phones and free government cheese. Not only do today’s suckers hurt the country when they vote into power radical leftists like Barack Obama, but by doing so they set the country on a path to destruction, for every leftist revolution has resulted in large amounts of blood spilled by the unfortunate subjects of leftist regimes.

Suckers are born every minute
A story as old as the hills
A lie is as good as you spin it
And rousing the rabble gives chills
The poor and the lonely are taken
Free phones and the government cheese
But time will insure they’re forsaken
It’s always thus with such as these
The problem is that the productive
Have no say in how things will go
When voters fall for the seductive
Black lies of the medicine show

Fracking

The Obama administration is taking credit for the steep rise in US oil production, a rise brought about not by Obama, who tried to stop it, but by private enterprise and the development of fracking. If you’ve ever watched a Sunday morning talking head news show, Meet The Press for example, you will notice that the Obamanoids will tell you in all seriousness that whatever good happened anywhere in the universe, the credit for it belongs to Obama. Do they believe it? Of course they believe it. And so do the Sunday morning hosts believe it.  Belief in the god Obama is all they have left. But does the great American unwashed believe it? Probably not, because, like me, they don’t watch those shows.

They sit there oh so serious
So happy they’re delirious
That their Barack has saved the world again
No matter he’s a greenie
They claim he’s loosed the genie
Despite his locking fracking in a pen
Escape it did, and now the
US will show us how the
Free market works when it is left alone
But Barry’s acolytes will
Spend all those weekday nights till
It’s Sunday morning and they can intone
Fulsome praise and borrowed credit
For they think if they have said it
That it must be true and all will see the light
But they only have an hour
And they see their dimming power
And they know it’s all for naught by Sunday night

Red Marbles

We have a magician in the White House, a mesmerize, a sleight of hand artist. He is in the process of sawing the country in half, and the audience oohs and ahhs. Barack Obama is a ghostly figure, the product of the teachings of his Communist parents, and every move he makes, every word he utters, is designed to advance the dream of his parents that the United States be destroyed. He played with marbles as a child, and all the marbles were red.

Borne by mist, ethereal
The drifting figure grins
By inner light the eyes see all to see
Transfigured, permanent, in place|As all about him spins
He knows just what he is, and what he’ll be
Cocooned in Marxist rhetoric
By parents in whose care
He grows into the child in whom they place
Their hopes for the destruction of
The State beyond repair
Their fortunes wrapped up in his handsome face
He had no great distinction
No accomplishment to date
When he became the darling of the Left
And women swooned to touch him
Though with much to indicate
That he was not accomplished, merely deft
On stage he was so brilliant
So accomplished, oh so cool
That no one saw the handlers in the wings
The lighting and the staging
Were enough to make a fool
Of all who would not see the puppet strings
And so he gained the mountain
Stood atop the world to find
That what his parents loathed lay at his feet
And dutiful a son he was
Attentive, warm and kind
So saying, our destruction’s near complete
Obama dons his makeup
Dons his tux and snaps his cuff
Top hat a rakish angle on his head
He enters from stage left and hopes
The mist is thick enough
To hide the fact the rabbit is now dead

 

Uncle Thaek And Barack The First

Word has been smuggled out of the murderous hermit kingdom of North Korea that the new thug in charge, Kim Jong Un, has just had his uncle Thaek executed for not clapping vigorously enough at one of Kim’s speeches. You will recall he also recently killed his ex girlfriend and her entire family, though what caused Kim to set in motion this rather unfortunate occurrence has not yet emerged. Has it occurred to you that socialism in its more strident forms leads always to murder on a grand scale? Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, et al. The thing about the Left is that once in power they rarely give it up. Which brings us to Obama. Do you think he will gracefully step down at noon on 20 January 2017? Let us hope he does. Until now this has never been in question.

What can we make of Uncle Thaek
Whose death had caught him napping
What would it take, for goodness sake
To make believe you’re clapping
The time and tide is on the side
Of socialists our masters
We can’t elide, we must abide
Our man-made Left disasters
Once on the path, just do the math
To rule’s a family business
He’s what you hath, beware his wrath
Salute his awesome Hisness
When monarchs die, poor butterfly
Their colors fade and wither
No one to cry for such as I
While Stalin plays the zither
Obama waits, he has the States
Ignore the Twenty-second
Cancelled debates, he tests the fates
The bony finger beckoned
Begin the ride, the downhill slide
To tyrannous perfection
Forget your pride, you’re Barack’s bride
You’ll walk at his direction

Sign Language

We are now all aware of the fake sign language interpreter for the deaf who used gestures of his own devising when interpreting President Obama’s eulogy for the still dead Nelson Mandela. Using signs of my own devising, I spoke to the fake interpreter shortly after the president’s speech, and asked him what Obama said. He replied

I sign Barack Obama
And this is what he say
He say he love Mandela
And sad to see this day
He say Mr. Mandela
Is greatest man alive
As well be Raoul Castro
A man he give high five
He say Mister Mandela
Spend many years in jail
And if Mandela ask him
He gladly pay his bail
He joke and say Mandela
Now go to his reward
But say Mandela be back
That heaven make him bored
I often think he lying
And folks say can you prove
You know he telling lie when
You see my fingers move

He Says He’s Not A Magician

A little riff on the previous post Daydreams, using essentially the same verse to explain Barack Obama’s foreign policy, or should I say his foreign policy policy.

I’m not a cool magician
He says with modest grin
I work my will with kindness
I stroke them and I win
I have no awesome powers
I have no magic wand
When I look in the mirror
I see the real James Bond
I need not those three wishes
Nor djinn to do my bid
When I appear in public
The folks yell oh you kid
They love me in New Delhi
They love me in St. Paul
I love the way they love me
But I love me most of all

Daydreams

At the end of a long life, one tends to live again the past and create in the unformed universe of the mind the fancied future, the present pushed deep into a dark and drafty corner. We know the past cannot be changed, and the future lies beyond our dreams, but all is possible if you’re a powerful magician, able to command the past and future at will.

If I were a magician
Blest with a magic wand
I’d have my choice of women
‘Cause I would be James Bond
If I had awesome powers
I’d fly right now to Mars
And climb aboard a comet
And dance among the stars
If I could have three wishes
A genie do my bid
I’d see my dad and mother
And be once more a kid

And The Band Played On

Obama threatened to attack Syria for gassing its own people, then made a quick about face and struck a secret deal with Iran to remove the sanctions that were crippling Iran, all the while knowing the sarin gas attack on Syrian civilians was done by the rebels and not Assad. Meanwhile, the Iran deal has come apart more or less instantly as the Mullahs say they will continue running the centrifuges and thank you for lifting the sanctions. Obama is a world class dancer. He glides across the floor with the one he adores, himself, and believes himself to be the master of the universe. He is not the master of anything, and everyone knows it, but meanwhile the dance continues.

 To the tune of Casey Would Waltz With A Strawberry Blonde

Barack would waltz with the Mullahed Iran
And the band played on
He waltzed cross the floor and he’d beg and implore
While the band played on
He’d beg and he’d plead till the Mullahs agreed
To stop and to not make a bomb
He tarried the while all the Mullahs would smile
And the band played on
The centrifuge spun as the Anointed One
Watched the band play on
He cried that the deal was forever and real
And the band played on
The test bomb exploded, the missiles were loaded
And Israel shook with alarm
With nary a glance O continued to dance
And the band played on

Broccoli

Polls are down, Obamacare is going in the dumpster, and so is Obama. Michelle Obama has fiercely instructed American children to eat their vegetables. Little did she realize it was her husband who was the vegetables.

Obamacare
While not exoccoli
Is within a hair
Of being broccoli
Obama’s poll
Down inch by inach
It takes a toll
He’s now the spinach
