Ok, all you kids, put your thinking caps on;
We’ve got a few riddles to ponder upon:
Grab paper and pencil, and write down your name:
We’re playin’ the “What Would Obama Say” game!
Take “60” and “40,” and then “95,”
Use them all in a statement in which you contrive
To mimic some nonsense Obama might say;
We’ll give you a hint so you’re well on your way!
If “60” percent of us pay income tax,
then “40” percent are exempt – these are facts!
Cutting taxes for some of the “60” who pay
In some way empowers Obama to say
“95” percent’s helped by the tax cut he'll cede;
of remedial math he's in obvious need!
Are you getting the hang of it? Ready for more?
Here’s another small riddle you’ll like to explore:
In Barack’s world illogic runs second to none,
but tell us how 70’s equal to 1!
The answer lies not in a logical flaw
as much as a rank violation of law:
Barack’s pals at ACORN committed some crimes
By voting 1 registrant 70 times!
If something you do yields something that’s good
They why won’t you do it as much as you could?
(Now settle down, kids, this is not about sex!)
It’s government income and what one expects
By lowering tax rates on capital gains:
The revenues pour like the heaviest rains
In amounts that leave analysts truly amazed;
Then why would Barack want those rates to be raised?
(the hint is: it’s socialist doctrine he’s stoking…)
He says, “It’s just fair” – and he’s not even joking!
So, kiddies, expect to have plenty more fun
pretending to enter the mind of The One
Who’ll lower the seas and cut warmth from the sun.
The reign of his nonsense has barely begun!
