Move Over, Saul Alinsky: Barack Has a New Hero!

© 2009, by The Conservative Muse

We all have our role models, idols, and heroes –

Those folks who’ve transformed us from life’s would-be zeroes

To people of substance, with lives that have meaning,

While sometimes imparting political leaning.

Though he’s close as men come to libs’ view of perfection,

For pure hero-worship, Barack’s no exception.

There’s socialist stalwarts Alinsky and Ayers,

And Reverend Wright with his hate-spewing prayers.

But now a new hero’s within Barack’s sight,

A person whose shining political light

Makes Alinsky et al appear pale in comparison.

(Though his country’s rich opium trade is embarrassin’!)

It’s the brave Hamid Karzai to whom we refer;

On closer inspection you’d have to concur

That he’s saved Barack’s skin with his recent behavior,

And earned – like The One – designation as “Savior.”

From fraud and deceit without slightest restraint

- that make Rev Al Sharpton look more like a saint –

Prez Karzai declared that he’d won the election,

But then was convinced to recant the selection.

And meantime, Obama’s attempting to run

The “justified” war that George Bush had begun.

He asked of his Generals, “Give me your best!”

He got their advice – and ignored their request.

Decisions, decisions! Who could’ve foretold

The job’s now requiring some action that’s bold!

Will he anger his base by becoming a hawk,

Or let radicals triumph by taking a walk?

But Karzai’s election and voting abuse

Have given the Dawdler-in-Chief an excuse

To further delay any warfare conclusion,

Since the Afghans themselves are in ruling confusion!

This morass has a drain through which Barry* can slither:

As we watch the morale of our servicemen wither,

Obama can vacillate yon and then hither –

His new Hero has given him reason to “dither!”
