Obama's Gulf War –
Feeling Ashamed
For all Haley Barbours

Aren't incumbents ashamed of the way they've been bought
So decisions they made would buy Tony a yacht?
How many billions did they help Tony make
So that bump-on-a-log could say, "Not my mistake"?
Why they cut ev'ry corner they could, and then some
That even Shell Oil thought were stupid and dumb.

Where are the ethics that say pols should spurn
Money that voters would prefer they return,
Not to the oil rapists who thought they had bought
The key to acquiring lots more like his yacht,
But to friends of the wildlife BP is destroying
Encouraged by Haley's "Bring it on" attaboying.
