So Iraq is
getting ready to implode, widows, children and parents for nothing still grieve
What does Obama
do? He makes a pathetic, weak speech and then in a helicopter leaves
We need
energy so may trip to a reservation might give us hope that no more attacks on
frack
Then given
the crisis in Iraq normal to lead, it would be time to the Pentagon to come
back
Sadly, not the
case our fearless leader; as his rating drops, his handicap is on a bit or a
rise
So it’s off to Palm Springs to have a caddy on
his club selection advise
Our President
must be able to multi-task golf with security reports of the ISIS march
Maybe on
National Bourbon Day at the 19th hole enjoy a drink to cure the
desert parch
Images are
more important than words and actions even sometimes trump
In Iraq ISIS
armed, looking determined and grim while Iraqi soldiers flee as weapons and uniforms
they dump
At the
border an flood of children, a new Children’s Crusade pouring in
Believing
that if they can make it here, Obama’s pen has meant they win
Is our
President in photo op at the Pentagon; is he in photo op meeting with the governors
of three border states?
No this
morning he’s at a Blue fundraiser, those are just crisis items that for him can
wait
Then to a
UCI commencement address and a rousing do as I say, not as I do speech
To graduates
deep in debt, some without jobs, wondering if the American Dream is still in
reach
Then back to
the desert for golf and on Father’s Day a well deserved rest and another
golfing round
While any
news images show domestic and foreign turmoil continuing to abound
After
Benghazi our President while the embers still smoldered hopped on Air Force One
Off to San
Francisco for yet another fund raiser as there was a campaign to be won
One can only
hope that the media is now sees through the Emperor’s New Clothes
And objective
questioning of his policies foreign and domestic grows
No more
fawning, no more hero worship, a revival of an independent Fourth Estate
Maybe with
such prodding and questioning our President might start acting like a head of
state.
