Doin' Diddly
Obama's rhetoric

Why isn't Wall Street worried
    over what he has to say?
Because he's pitching points of view
    instead of making hay.
Sticks and stones may break some bones;
    but rhetoric?
You think it's doin' diddly?

While Blankfein's traders walk the walk,
    Geithner/Summers gawk and balk.
Obama's sole response is talk.
Sticks and stones may break some bones;
    but rhetoric?
His isn't doin' diddly.

Health insurance reforms lag?
    A Baucus, Nelson, Landrau, snag.
Obama's Blue Dogs chew the rag.
Sticks and stones may break some bones;
    but rhetoric?
His still ain't doin' diddly.
