Obama's Gulf War –
Clamming Up & Shutting Down
Obama is still listening to the wrong advisors

Obama will find clamming up on BP,
Trying to keep BP out of the news
By shutting down most of their ROV feeds,
Is probably not the right tactic to use.

When we can't see leaks, does that mean they're not there?
Did Tinker Bell's wand make them all go away?
Who would believe his Light Crude and Corexit
Could vanish like magic before Election Day.

He thinks he's helped Geithner make BlackRock look good.
But Haley? And Bobby? And fatuous Mitch.?
Has he forgotten he wasn't elected
To take from the poor and not from the rich?

C-SPAN has given us grandstanding Senators.
ROVs have revealed a befuddled BP.
But when his Tinker Bells disregard Newton,
Their BOPs can tip precariously.

Historically pirates first go for the gold,
Then rob and plunder whatever they find.
But conning an Admiral and duping his boss
While bilking Emanuel? That boggles the mind.
