Highly
symbolic that the President’s credit card was declined
While the
nation’s credit continues to decline
Not from
over limit or identity theft but for lack of use
A problem
not faced when using the nation’s credit reeling from deficit abuse
Fortunately
the Selective Service that would for the President a bullet take
Did not have
to pass the hat for the President’s dinner and cake
Leave it to
the women who manage far better a family’s purse
Michelle
whips out a card to the embarrassment reverse
The meal is
paid for and the President stays out of the kitchen washing plates
Too bad as a
little actual private sector work experience might improve his job performance
rate
Wonder when
the symbolism becomes reality in spades
When the
Chinese stop buying our paper as our standing fades
This time
there will be no lady waiting in the wings
To come to
our aid and fresh credit availability bring.
