The "Race" Is On!

It’s gettin’ real chippy ‘twixt Hill and Obama,
Unfolding just like a morality drama
That’s pitting a Senator, partially black,
Against Mrs. Clinton who’d like to take back
An office she thinks should be rightfully hers –
The one that’s called "Oval" is what she prefers.
From nasty campaigning she’d rather demur,
So Bubba’s signed on as her chief saboteur.

Bill’s hostile behavior is hard to explain,
deriving from someone who "feels all the pain;"
Since blacks had begun to proclaim him their own,
Bill's sat on an Afro-American throne.
It’s possible, though, that this recent commotion
might make them rethink their excessive devotion!

You’d think it’s Republicans trying to lead
The charge for the "dump-on-Obama" stampede,
And yet, besides Bill, the most hostile aggression
arises from other lib founts of expression!
Concerning Obama, Joe Biden observed,
"He’s clean and articulate" – words oft-reserved
for white politicians, or so we’d surmise --
else why would Joe register such a surprise?

"Not down for the struggle" is how he’s portrayed
by Reverend Sharpton, who’s out on parade
to keep public focus exclusively his.
And then there’s the liberal columnist whiz
Who called him a "magical Negro" for using
Charisma and charm in his efforts at schmoozing
With guilty white voters still looking for ways
To make reparations for slavery days.

There’s lots to dislike in Barack’s core beliefs,
But watching him spar with the Democrat chiefs
Gives reason to question the level of spite –
Could racist foundations be coming to light?

Obama's campaign's giving Dems quite a fright --

Libs love their black presidents, just so they're white!

Hillary Claus

Twas the week before Christmas, two thousand and seven,
when even the secular libs looked to Heaven
in hopes that their targeted voters would see
political ads they’d produced for TV.

Obama and Hillary, leading the pack,
Set out on the usual holiday tack,
creating an atmosphere warm and sincere,
The kinder and gentler for them to appear.
Barack is presented with kids and his wife
In a loving portrayal of family life.
It’s what you’d expect from a pol who’s reliant
on highly-paid handlers who market their client.

In contrast, Hill’s ad utilizes a style
That Bill must’ve deemed to be not worth his while
‘cause she’s all by herself with some boxes of presents
and then, like a queen being nice to her peasants,
she picks out the following gifts that she’d deign
to give to her subjects when starting her reign: *

Our HEALTH CARE and PRE-K she’d make UNIVERSAL.
Regarding Iraq, she’d effect a reversal
Of current force status by BRINGING TROOPS HOME,
allowing Al Qaeda the freedom to roam
the landscapes where other jihadists are lurking;
perhaps one should tell her the Surge may be working?…

A MIDDLE CLASS TAX BREAK’s a concept she’s lifting
From Bubba’s campaign, with intent for re-gifting;
But folks are excused if deceit is suspected --
Her husband reneged upon getting elected.

She finds the ALTERNATIVE ENERGY box,
Alerting all brokers investing in stocks:
Those businesses focused on such expertise
With Hillary’s backing can profit with ease.
(We won’t be surprised to find Clintons invested
In firms such as this, in a strategy tested
By Gore, who had founded a business with gumption
To sell himself credits for carbon consumption!)

The whole darn commercial’s a sickening sample
Of liberal thought and intention to trample
American capitalistic reliance
On what individuals do for compliance
With meeting their needs and their wants by themselves;
They need Hill’s largesse like they need Santa’s elves!

The essence of "gifts" is the fact that they’re "free":
Hill’s giveaway programs would certainly see
The government go on a tax-raising spree;
This portrait’s a source of Republican glee!

*- the specific gifts are capitalized,

Heeere's Johnny!

You have to admit that, with pols on the stump,
They’ll say things so stupid they make Forrest Gump
Look more like a genius than slow-witted wonder.
Although it’s amusing to watch how they’ll blunder
Their way through campaigning travails and rigors,
There’s certain clichés that will act as sure triggers
To bring out guffaws from the public arena.
For silly pronouncements we’ll serve a subpoena
To someone who knows all about legal actions
And made quite a fortune from courtroom transactions.

Is it Hillary? Romney? Perhaps Giuliani?
This master of comedy’s first name is Johnny….
Not Carson, but Edwards, adopting the creed
He’ll fight for us folks against "corporate greed."

He’s got to be kidding! He’s surely not serious!
To bring up class warfare he must be delirious!
This Johnny’s a trial attorney who made
His millions while suing an endless parade
Of doctors with claims that were largely just bunk,
Misleading the juries with "science" that’s junk.

We guess John must think there's distinction between
the money he made from his lawsuit machine
and profits from all of those bad corporations;
we’d say this belief is on shaky foundations
and maybe John’s worse, since this plaintiff activity
Is business that’s big, but without productivity!

Once wealthy, this "man of the people" proceeded
to spend lots of money where most it was needed:
he built a huge home that’s beyond comprehension,
of twenty-eight thousand square feet in dimension!
He says "Two Americas" live in our nation;
The both of them wouldn’t fill up his plantation!

With mammoth consumption that borders "obscene"
and haircuts of four hundred dollars routine,
John Edwards the lawyer knows whereof he speaks
When talking ‘bout money a greedy man seeks.
The usage of irony’s known since the Greeks
As one of the greatest comedic techniques!

Peeling the Onion

When choosing our president, people desire
To find nominees with a belly of fire,
especially now, in a world so exposed
To radical Islam fanatics opposed
To anything worldwide that doesn’t conform
To what they consider the Muslim-ized norm.
We ask for a leader who’ll grab world attention
with strength and persona of mythic dimension:
These times ask for heroes as large as Paul Bunyan!
Instead we get Hillary, peeling an onion…..

You're thinking we’re nuts, that we’re totally crazy –
As mad as Joe Pesci in films by Scorsese --
But give us our due, ‘cause we’re pointing out why
There surfaced the hint of a tear in Hill’s eye
When facing the fact, in a moment’s reflection,
That rivals might win the New Hampshire election
And then – golly gee – she’d have less of a chance
Her leftist agenda to push and advance.
(It’s a moment that Oprah would normally savor,
except it’s Obama she’s chosen to favor.)

There’s two possibilities springing to mind
As source of her weeping – and both are unkind.
The first is: she’s just an emotional sort
Who’s brought to the edge by a lack of support.
If facing this interview moves her to tears,
Imagine results when Bin Laden appears
With actual threats to her person and nation -
There’s not enough tissue to stanch the hydration!

And then there’s, of course, the old Clintonesque way
Of faking emotion to lead us astray
To make us all think they have genuine feelings --
just part of their regular wheelings and dealings.
In either event, it’s an ugly description
Of someone desiring to write a prescription
To cure all our ills and to get some things changed;
To back such a person one must be deranged!

With generous spirit (one cannot deny),
We offer an onion, whose fumes will supply
Alternative grounds that made Hillary cry,
And keep presidential ambitions on "High".
