Obama's Gulf War –
Mud In Your Eye
From hostage to hero?

Mud in your eye, in your nose, in your throat?
You were standing too close to BP's "static kill".
Can you believe it? Their BOPs blew out.
So now we can add even more to their bill.

Thad Allen's a hero. They were holding him hostage
Hoping he'd tell them to restart the flow
So we'd have to share in the cost of their screw-up,
But now we're the ones who'll decide what they owe.

By extending "integrity" testing until
BP could again shoot itself in the foot,
He's made sure his good guys can't be held responsible
For the most hated company going kaput.
