Obama no bed of Roses

take away the colour
take away the spin
and just look at the fact
although I know 
they will not persuade
anyone to change direction
in any
way

Obama inherited a poison chalice
FDR would have sought\
imunity from
Sure FDR was shooting blind
but he was not
black in America

Obama may not go
down in history as
great
the writers will chip 
away at him forever
because he looked 
up the GOP skirts

Right now today
the patient is still 
on the table
looking at 2015
with a smile
hoping to leave 
qualified willing 
and able

I interpert the volcanic noise
we are subjected to today
with some irony
never have those who
cared had so much information
and never had we had so many 
citizens whose sole source of
knowledge was disinformation

For both sides I think its a draw
big powers are always going
to have a big paw. You cant stop the 
silverback, you can shoot him between the
eyes and watch him fall dead
but still the next day 
in some shape or form
he will be back.
