Like Quayle Obama Not Like JFK

When it comes to speeches Obama takes the ten tier cake
When it comes to blame attacks over the coals concerned Americans  he so easily rakes
Give our President a teleprompter and it is next to impossible for the doubters to resist
Add a symbolic venue for a speech and any skeptic can be easily dismissed
Obama’s belated attempt to rally the American people to support his Iran deal
Was a masterpiece of his rhetoric and supreme oratory zeal
Words, only words preceded by complete failures to act
Coupled with a delusional view of the world and a strategy lack
American University was the venue where another American President had stood on the nuclear brink
And through resolve of a true leader and a blue water U.S. Navy supreme forced Nikita to blink
A reduction in the amount of the nuclear overkill to the American people he sought to sell
In a world where ten times the population in Mutually Assured Destruction could be sent to nuclear hell
If Obama thinks by the venue location he can hold a candle to JFK
Definitely a Quayle-like-debate moment with Bentsen on vivid display
Kennedy was a leader while Obama even with oratory and his teleprompter is not
Will there be a lottery in the Obama Presidential Library to guess the date when Iran against Israel fires its first nuclear shot?
