Anyone that's read my Twitter feed will probably know by now that I'm not full of starry-eyed wonder since Obama's been elected. To any Obamabots tuning in: please re-read the first sentence word-for-word and understand that I am not "anti-Obama." I'm critical of the system that was used to elect Obama president, not the man himself. What does scare me, though, is the furor with which certain people jump down my throat when I say anything that suggests Obama is anything less than perfect.

When $100K was spent on re-decorating the Whitehouse I criticized that expenditure and people actually said to me thing along the lines of, "Would YOU want the stuffy old chairs that Bush had?" I'm sure the farts that the Bushes buried into the sofa were long-dissipated by the time the new first family moved in. The man criticized the American public for irresponsible spending (don't get me started on that one) in his own inauguration speech and, a week later, he's dropping $100K on decorations and people are defending and praising him for only spending $100K??? FDR ate a cold chicken dinner on the evening of his inauguration. That's what I call leading by example.

I grow concerned that people have gulped down so many blue pills with this new administration that the time will soon come when it will be able to do practically anything to soaring approval ratings. This is the soil in which fascism is tilled.

‘Twas the night before Obama, when all through the nation
The new world order tuned in to each station

Americans were nestled all snug in their beds
While Afghanis prepared for the bombs overhead

Michelle in Chanel and Barack in Armani
Will make sure his birth certificate doesn’t look phony

The troops in Iraq are not soon coming home
Shortly in Pakistan is where they will roam

Corrupt CEOs will all get their bonus
And nobody cares that the foreign banks own us

Defense Secretary Gates kept his job
Along with many others in Bush’s old mob

Computers in classrooms instead of more knowledge
Dumbed down population, less protests in college

The Clinton body count climbs even higher
While displaced aboriginals get consumed in the fire

The imperialist army in size will now double
Future regime changes? Gaza’s in trouble

The jackals are ready. Their legacy: ashes
While all the right people die alone in plane crashes

Economic hitmen prepare their descent
Oversold infrastructure their only intent

Trillions of dollars for bankers that scammed
The working-class populace, the ones who are damned

Military searches right next to the borders
Confirming citizenship their illegal orders

FEMA camps full but they never laid charges
While the Blackwater mercenary invoice enlarges

Seeing all this unfold is not even strange
The only thing Obama promised was “change.”
