Here is an excerpt from Home Country & the Crass Menagerie:
Obama speaks well
& has great charisma too.
With the excitement that he generates
what
voters can he woo?
We hope all these excited voters
can just step back a bit
To analyze each and every word
to prove the truth of it.
Obama says negotiate with our foes,
with them share drink and bread.
Does he really think we can make nice
when
that foe just wants us dead?
The impression that Obama is the
savior
for this great and wonderful land.
Took a dip in party quicksand
as his advisor took a hateful public
stand.
Obama had no idea how his advisor felt
and said he couldn’t know.
The man had only been his advisor
for
twenty years or so.
Obama’s wife said she’s
glad
she can now say long and loud.
For the first time in her adult life,
of
this country she is proud.
Could she have no pride the years before
receiving
her Harvard education?
Or pride when her husband won his
bid
for senator in his first run for election?
Is pride only to be inspired by the chance
you
will be Special by association.
If you are married to the president
of
the most powerful world nation.
When listening to Obama I feel inspired
and kind of hopeful.
But when I try to remember what he said,
his
value does seems entirely doubtful.
