Shame On You, Barack Obama! – I
Admonishing Obama for not acknowledging Old Mac's failings

Shame on you, Barack Obama!
You heard what the lady said.
How'd she know, if Mac took umbrage,
You'd roll over and play dead?

When Wesley questioned Mac's assertions
About an adequate prelim,
You rebutted Wesley's statement
That should have come from you, not just him.

Shame on you, Barack Obama!
You blew the opportunity
For pointing out that parachuting
From a plane's no guarantee

That the active parachuter's
Showing he can run DC –
Maybe he is just reacting
To a dire necessity.

Shame on you, Barack Obama!
How can you let Mac imply
That being jailed in Nam or Gitmo
Helps detainees qualify?

You're the one who should be saying,
"Jail does not a hero make."
No one wants humbugs elected
When what we need is a fair shake.

Who but Mac and Bush think prison –
Gitmo, Hanoi, Alcatraz –
Prepares an inmate or a convict
For the role that Bushie has?

The opposite is far more likely –
Nixon, Clinton, Cheney, Bush`.
Arrogance comes with high office –
Greed and power provide the push.

Shame on you, Barack Obama!
Buck up! Call a spade a spade!
Mac's no hero; merely senile –
Call him on it. Watch him fade.
