The people have spoken: / Obama is in! / Who'd ever have thunk / in '07 he'd win?

He came out of nowhere / and lit up the sky, / and most of America said / "What a guy!"

The liberal media / made him The Man, / as every "reporter" / turned into a fan.

Prepare for a future / of liberal screed / from Pelosi and Murtha and -/ Omigod! - Reid!

Has he ever run anything? / No, he has not. He / has no real credentials. / So what? He's a hotty!

He's promised us oodles / of dreams, hopes, and changes, / but making them real / is the thing that deranges;

For change has a price tag / and hope has a cost: / Taxpayer, dream on / till your last buck is lost!

Sez he'll rob from the rich / to give to the poor. / Sounds a bit Socialist, / doesn't it? Sure!

Health care for everyone / sounds pretty fine, / till you're waiting for yours / at the end of the line!

That war in Iraq - / it can't end soon enough, / but B'rack will discover / that ending it's tough!

Terror still threatens; / hostility lingers: / You can't end a war / with a snap of your fingers!

The people have spoken! / Long live the new prexy! / Whatever his shortcomings, / say it! He's sexy!

And four years from now - / you can bet your sweet tush - / whatever his failures, / they'll blame 'em on Bush!
