The Office of President offers unique
Occasions to gauge how our leaders can speak.
Poor Bush was a malaprop, giving us laughs;
His legacy’s sure to be filled with these gaffes.
But now, from The One comes this chapter and verse:
Hold onto your asses, “it’s gonna get worse!”
Now wait just a minute! This can’t be the guy
Full of “hope,” pushing “change,” self-assuredly high!
We expect all the verve of the young JFK;
(At least ‘fore his sex drive got into the way);
We need a bright path through our thick fiscal haze,
Instead we get less than J. Carter’s “Malaise”!
Of course we conservatives know that he’s right;
His cabinet choices provide quite a fright:
Tom Daschle will promise Canadian Care;
Steve Chu’s a big warming alarmist who’d dare
Raise prices of gas to five dollars or more –
And then there’s all those with strong union rapport.
Remember when Bush said to “Go out and spend”?
With elitist full force did the left condescend!
Now Barack’s on the line as he lowers the bar
Lest brutal reality tarnish his star.
When Barney Frank’s helping GM build a car,
We fear Barack’s claim understates it by far!
