Obama's Gulf War –
Messing Up With His Milquetoasts
Buying some influence

Will his milquetoast advisors let BP off easy
Now it's not only owned but is run by some Yanks?
As Dudley dumps Brits, Salazar forgives penalties
So hedge funds like BlackRock can offer their thanks.

Compromising's the key. Backing down is their game.
Why argue with political powers like BlackRock?
They own so much stock in British Petroleum,
No way they can fail. Who knows what they'd hock.

Geithner is giving his bankers free rein
With no limits at all on credit card fees.
And in order to make even more dough for BlackRock
BP can drill most anywhere that they please.

Don't be surprised when the Brothers Karzai
Invest money we squandered in the firm known as Xe,
Which will be hired to guard BlackRock investments
In the Burmese oil wells being drilled by BP.

Does it pay to buy friends who have jobs in high places,
If not politicians, then their closest advisors?
Not if you've seen who is far more persuasive –
Those online what's-wrong-with-Barack analyzers.
