A Brief Relief (with Short Term Obama) Who knew he would be just an interim respite? A brief relief from the prior eight years? Then, God forbid, back to more tax exemptions For TARP recipients, Wall Street's financiers? He's failed in his pledge to end "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." He's stepped up involvement in Afghanistan. Now he's compromising on taxing the rich. What the Hell happened to his advertised plan? While The Street trades derivatives over-the-counter And mortgage foreclosures are duck soup for banks, LOTTO-size jackpots are awarded to traders Where Russian roulette's played with billions, not blanks. Only the British Petroleum disaster Has saved East Coast beaches from being awash In 10W30 before it's refined, To which his reaction would have been, "Oh, my gosh." Must he serve out his term or can he be pardoned? The question, of course, will be who'll take his place? Alvin Greene? But does DC need more bobblehead dolls? He'd give shorter speeches but who'd keep a straight face?
