Finally Old Glory at Half Mast

Obama when it comes to combating terror

Seems to always want to lead from behind a total error

He has to be pushed kicking and screaming by public opinion to act as opposed to pointing his finger of blame

No wonder he seems clueless and his excuses are lame

When the Supreme Court ruled that a couple of same sex could exchange wedding bands

Same sex marriages were now the law of the land

Within hours on Obama’s orders the White House was no longer white

Bathed in the rainbow colors of gays, lesbians, bis and transgender to light up the night

 Yet after five men of the American military were by a jihadist extremist gunned down and breathed their last

From Obama the sounds of silence with the White House the Stars and Stripes flying at the top of its mast

For not just one day but for almost a week

Instead of a nation in mourning that a flag at half mast would bespeak

Another example of Obama’s refusal to radical Islam name and confront

And how these deaths once again putting pressure on him to name radical Islam must have been a personal affront

The outrage and public outcry finally forced Obama to relent

His apparent dislike of the military finally bent

Small solace to the families of the unarmed men shot down like dogs

Finally today Old Glory flies at half mast throughout the land as reality pierced Obama’s delusional fog
