The Importance Of Being Earnest
(Has Obama changed parties?)

Which party does Short Term Obama belong to?
How long will he continue to kiss Mitch's butt?
Why should we believe what he's saying this time
When it's Social Security they both want to cut?

But what the Web's done to Mastercard/Visa
Also could happen to their SuperRich.
If enough unemployed give vent to their anger,
Barack may regret he decided to switch.

Yet his Catfood Commission was merely a preview
With all its appointees rich deficit hawks.
Now Geithner, conspiring with 'Say-No' McConnell,
Has arranged to clean Socal Security's clocks.

Without FICA taxes for now and forever
Their funding's a function of donations from Kochs,
It's the Kochs' "generosity" that will help to determine
Retirement benefits for regular folks.

Why think of Barry as another Joe Lieberman
Who'll switch back and forth between blue and red?
Can't he change colors once, just for two or three weeks,
To see if McConnell takes back what he said?
