Now Playing: Obama's World of Magic!

© 2009, The Conservative Muse

We all were amazed when Obama the Great
Made claim after claim of the things he’d set straight
Once elected to office and wielding his power;
Now we gasp as his ego inflates by the hour.
To his self-described talents we’d make an addition:
Like Siegfried or Roy, he’s a master magician!

Take Barack’s speech in Cairo, ‘midst wild Arab cheer,
When The One made all “terrorists” – poof! – disappear!
…oh, wait just a minute… now what’s that you say?
It’s not that they’re gone, he’s just got a new way
Of describing those people who wish us all dead
‘cause to call them all “terrorists” makes them see red?

Oops, sorry! Instead we’ll try this on for size:
While vowing to save us from fiscal demise
And protect us from restlessly unemployed mobs,
He’s “saving” us hundreds of thousands of jobs.
…Ok, you’re now thinking: it’s more of the same…
Since it can’t be disproved it’s a spurious claim.

Then here’s some nice magic that can’t be disputed:
We know that for decades Old Europe’s been rooted
In socialist programs of nanny state caring;
But recent election results are declaring
A staggering shift from the left to the right;
Barack’s economics have caused such a fright
That lefties in Europe are going ballistic;
What a feat! The One’s scaring them capitalistic!

Barack’s Magic Show has extended its run;
For big government types it’s a whole lot of fun!
With federal bailouts in massive profusion,
and car manufacturers mired in confusion
and socialized health care now out of seclusion,
His leadership “skill” is his greatest illusion!
