Obama's Gulf War –
Sex And Money
For incumbent toadies

"Not in my state unless they guarantee
I'm re-elected with money to burn.
If I can get jobs for idle oil workers,
Who cares how much shrimpers and fishermen earn?

"The question, of course, is how many oil workers
Will be re-employed, and then for how long?
And when will the other spill-victimized voters
Discover more drilling is horribly wrong?

"For Big Oil's admitting the safeguards, they've touted
As a deep water driller's last line of defense
Fail nearly as often as they shut down a blowout,
But are often not used. BP hates the expense.

"So here's two more questions for which I need answers:
When the drilling is finished, who'll see I get paid?
And now that the MMS clock's being cleaned,
Who can I count on to help me get laid?"
