Obama

Did Extemporaneous in forensics today

First time, didn't exactly go my way

All my draws of the political type

I've never been into the Washington hype

In speaking on the Fiscal Cliff, Borrowing limits, and gun rights

I realized just how much Washington affected my life

I myself, had tried to take part

But all this talking really took to my heart

Got to talk all day long

About what the president is doing wrong

Some judges hit me for not using his title

As important as he is to me, might as well be Fifle

He doesn't deserve to be called "President"

I will use his title when I feel he deserves it

But he's done us no good, just broken promises again

Blaming it on congress for not giving him his "Grand Bargain"

Wants to steal from the rich and give to the poor

Robin Hood isn't so cool anymore

Take money from the people who work for it,

Give to the people who don't

Who in their right mind will support that?

Man, I surely won't

Next, a gun rights' bill

Laws won't make people not want to kill

Taking away our guns won't end our bouts

People can use anything to take other people out.

Washington has no idea what's going on out here. 

Which is why we change the head every four years

Ahh. The horribly uncomfortable topic of politics.
Yeah, the well fair system is jacked up, but there are some people who actually DO need it. So, instead of totally giving up on it totally, maybe set better guide lines for who can use it.
I do agree on the right to bare arms, though. Who's to say that someone just can't get a gun illegally? Happens all the time, a law won't stop that.
I love Obama. I support gay rights, and I'm happy that they are getting a chance to marry.
Still, you can't possibly say that he was the worst. There is always Bush... -.-
We would be A LOT worse off if Mitt Romney was president... He was an idiot. XD

everyone has a right to their opinions

You've expressed some very interesting thoughts here, and I really enjoy watching you reach and stretch and try your hand at more profound and mature subject matter. Never stop speaking your mind or voicing your thoughts and concerns. :)

[Annabelle Lee]

Don't plan on it, thanke

Annabelle, This is a finely crafted poem. I lived in Washington for twenty years and I don't express my political opinions but you really hit the nail on the head with this. I noticed in the last line you said, "we change the head every four years." however Obama did win reelection. (Sigh) You may want to rework that line. JMO. Keep up the good work. Eileen

thank you.

There are many super rich guys who have got to where they are by ripping off the man in the street, paying accountants to make sure they do not have to pay tax, living in tax havens, manipulating state and national legislator, paying bribes and ..... Amazon, Starbucks, Bush and Kennedy families... Joe Kennedy put down a massive amount of money just after and before the war to ensure presidential success for his offspring.
But then what the hell do I know I am a Brit.

doesn't mean you don't understand what's going on

[Frieda P]

Good one Annabelle. And every four years we just get the royal screw, different face is all. I hate politics.

[Annabelle Lee]

Me too!

[Levi Levin]

Your welcome:) Washington has all the answers dont they? LOL...yeah right...Is the national debt increasing or decreasing? Thats a no brainer...never let them manage your business, they would bankrupt it also.

Wow..what is going on over there? Politics are always fun, aren't they? ;)

[Annabelle Lee]

They're sort of interesting in some aspects
