Obama's Gulf War –
Abandoned At the Altar?
The Gulf tragedy continues

Dear Abby, What's wrong with the parties involved?
Seems like there's more than one sex here to blame.
That prenuptial blowout, we should have expected –
With the groom's prior record he's not new to the game.

BP's conned Obama and Obama's conned us.
They promised relief wells to plug up the gusher,
But now it would seem consummation may fizzle.
Busy bride, errant groom and incompetent usher.

Was it the prenup, or the lengthy engagement,
Or the walrus attendants who've so far failed to show,
Or "integrity testing" that did seem excessive?
How much is a dumb groom entitled to know?

A few headline writers predict they'll pull it off
Is the public so bored it won't care if they don't?
Yet Gulf Coast society editors are betting
Someone has a fix in to make sure they won't.

Could that be where Michael Steele's dough has gone?
How inconceivable that that someone is Mitch.
Have you any idea how long it has been
Since the Senate has seen old Mitch's corpse twitch?
