Hillary has a Heart
Poor Hillary Clinton- her campaign was toast.
Obama won Iowa, and had started to boast.
She fought back hard, but the polls said “Too Late”
It was time to resign- it was already fate.
Obama was King-Â The coronation was nowÂ
The campaign was over before it started somehow.
But under all that pressure, Hillary’s armor, it cracked
Too subtle and too late for the polsters to track
The pundits said her campaign just fell apart.
But her ace up her sleeve was a glimpse of her heart.

Thats Unlucky
The democratic primary is full of drama
With a candidate named Hillary and one named Obama
It will be a sin
if the Clinton did win
Too bad the other name rhymes with Osama
Lets talk ’bout this man named Obama
Who is creating all kinds of high Drama
He has overtaken the Queen
Now its turn for McCain
To see who is top banana
Oh, what do we do with Huckabee
So badly President he wants to be
For it’s just a plain fact
He trusts miracles not math
If nothing else, he’ll settle for VP
A race most unique in our history
A two-for-one candidate named Billary
Age and experience is Tragic
When competing with Magic
Super Tuesdays been making ‘em jittery
Long live the senator from New York
She’s in a fight of her life with Barack
With her bag full of tricks
The economy she’ll fix
And get the soldiers out of Iraq
There once was a fella named Huck
Who knew he was sh*t outta Luck
Yet try as they might
He wouldn’t quit the fight
As long as he still had a Buck
Oh can it be Obama?
Oh please don’t say Osama
The race is tight
His race is right
Oh yes it’s time for Obama
The Kitchen Sink strategy’s working
In the polls, Barack has been slipping
He’ll win Mississippi
But will he be shaky
When Pennsylvania comes a calling
There once was a boy named Jeb
Whose brother was born braindead
The doctor admitted
That he should be committed
But they sent him to Washington instead
THREE RING CIRCUS
Fresh Peanuts…Popcorn…Crackerjacks…
just step right up folks… get the facts.
In the big tent… grandstand seating…
three headliners all competing.
Big cats …each one a sensation…
racing toward the nomination.
Come on inside and watch them fling …
inflated hats into the ring.
And In the spotlight…John McCain…
who’s joining us from his campaign
He’s Sorting out the myth from fact…
behold his wild balancing act.
“Hey Iraq…we’re gonna fight ‘em…
troops will stay…ad infinitumâ€.
Look on my right and you will see…
the tightrope walker…“Hillaryâ€
See how the snipers burst and flare…
as she goes flying through the air.
With death defying speed and skill…
she leaps into the arms of Bill.
With a past both grand and tragic…
watch Obama weave his magic.
You won’t believe…you’ll stand and cheer
he’ll make the Reverend disappear!
And “Right†before your very eyes…
he’s got the power to hypnotize.
As a side show…for good measure…
Nader’s here…just for your pleasure…
toothless tiger…but still cunning…
once again old Ralph is running.
Now that you’ve seen what they’ve displayed…
come join us for the big parade.
Laugh with the clowns and hear their chants…
see donkeys chase the elephants.
In this year’s race…which type can win…
to plead their case with hype and spin.
Well folks…you got your money’s worth
you’ve seen the greatest show on earth!

There once was a gent named Obama.
He rode through town on a llama.
On buying some gas,
he took a pass.
Just to create more drama.
There once was a chap named McCain.
For president he did campaign.
His opponnent Obama
always rode his llama.
Aren’t these candidates insane?
There once was a president named Bush.
Sadam Hosane he did smush.
He started war.
and unlike before,
the economy was soon turned to mush!
I am American…
I live life to the fullest…
I work like a dog…
I help my neighbor…
I love like there is no tomorrow….
I try to be honest….
&
I die.
I am American….
I believe in Faith and God
I believe in Freedom
I believe in People
I believe in this Country.
I believe in our forefathers who fought to get us here…..
I am American….
I have to trust our Government
I have to trust my family
I have to trust Justice
I am American…..
but…..
America is falling…
I am American….
but….
people are selfish and greedy here….
I am American…..
but…
our government is dirty to the core….on both sides….
I am American…..
but…..
everybody wants a FREE ride….
nobody wants to earn it anymore…..
I am American…..
but…..
where are all of the other Americans?
When Katrina hit….
When Ike hit…..
When our leaders have betrayed us…..
When we have sent thousands of our children into a lie…….
I am American…..
but….
who will stand with me to defend her against the enemy within….
against the liars who just want to be seen……
against the leaders who have deceived us….
against the liars that want to screw us again….
I am American…..
but….
I can’t do it alone…..
I need to see common sense come back to us…..
I know there are others who see…..
I am American……
I want America to live……
I want our families to prosper…..
I want truth to be the leader…..
I want a United America not a Divided One…..
I am American……
Are you?
This Wee I Shook the Hand of a Man
This week, I shook the hand of a man, just a man, and only a man
who was benevolent, admirable, & righteous
This week, I shook the hand of a man, just a man, and only a man
who was articulate, committed, & knowledgeable
This week, I shook the hand of a man, just a man, and only a man
who was open, brilliant & authentic
This week, I shook the hand of a man, just a man, and only a man
who was moral & audacious
This week, I shook the hand of a man, just a man, and only a man.
Yet, I was inspired to believe ~ if it be God’s Will ~ that this
benevolent, admirable, righteous, articulate, committed, knowledgeable, open, brilliant, authentic, moral, audacious
Man, who is just a man, and only a man could be the catalyst for Change.
Written by SjP of Sojourner’s Place
politics, bailouts, a meltdown on the way
media in obama’s pocket, it’s clearer everyday
people down on mainstreet have no faith at all
in pelosi, frank, and reid who should be thrown out of the hall
700 billion – a few bucks dedicated to the average Joe
the rest will go right back to the crooks who started this whole show
responsibility and accountability are nonexistent on the hill
anything to get re-elected, let the taxpayer cover the bill
obama tied to every shady and dangerous leftist freak
and mccain not exposing the democrat’s trash is making him look weak
loud mouth biden on the trail while palin has appeal
the media just can’t understand a candidate who’s real
if mccain gets to the white house he’ll have tons of work to do
if it is obama he’ll be spending over 800 billion – paid by me and you
