Obama we adore you. Your being is supreme.

We know you stand for change, but what precisely does that mean?

You have a massive fan base flaunting T-shirts of your face,

And schools of intellectuals are focused on your race.

“What progress” loudly preach your proud promoters with delight.

“His policy is lacking, but at least he isn’t white.”

And really this is perfect, for now we clearly see:

Opponents of your politics are racist SOBs.

But this can’t be the change we need, for it is no new news,

The liberals have always pulled the race card when they choose.

Where then is the CHANGE that we demanded desperately?

Perhaps in taking over private U.S. industry?

When companies are failing in an economic plight,

You bravely intercede and increase debt to set it right!

And I am very glad to have my hard earned dollars seized,

To make you CEO of any company you please.

I fully recognize that our economy was grown,

By independent strivers seeking profit of their own.

But it’s unfair to let the U.S. market run so free.

Thus I confess, I think it’s best to let you intervene.

But history has often seen this trend, though it is wrong:

The liberal inserts himself where he does not belong.

If this is not the promised change I guess we’ll give a thought

To improving care and comfort of the terrorists we’ve caught.

The towers burned, bin Laden cheered, our nation tried to mend.

That there could live such hateful scum was hard to comprehend.

But hate is base! And thus we’ve tried to tame our vengeful flame.

And in this breach we now can preach forgiveness and self-blame.

These villains who would kill us all deserve human respect.

They blow up schools and villages…but their rights we’ll protect!

Obama must close Git-mo to prevent its gross misuse!

Investigate the CIA for terrorist abuse.

I’m not sure that this is change, although it seems obscene,

We’ve seen a lot of fools protecting scumbags, thieves and fiends.

I’ll take a final stab at seeking some dramatic “change,”

To justify the “Yes we cans!” and other campaign mange.

This healthcare bill will surely be the greatest progress yet!

We’ll force a standard coverage on the population set.

The route of cost effectiveness will be a solid plan.

We’ll cover the abortions while neglecting gramps and gran.

And everyone can pay a share, though few will really gain.

But we’ll pretend to somehow mend the suffering and pain.

Though I declare this crime we share was never framed so well,

We’ve often witnessed thievery by socialist cartel.

And while he double dips his hand into your dwindling purse,

Obama’s only changing things by making them much worse.
