Obama Stands By Timmy
What will it take?

Some say that he's persistent –
    Obama likes to see things through.
Some claim that he's pragmatic –
    He thinks it's something Tim can do.

Is he loyal or just stubborn
    with non-performing confidantes?
The truth is it's a job Obama
    knows nobody wants.

It can't be that much fun to be
    harassed by SunLamp Boehner
For whom tax breaks for Bernie's
    a Republican no-brainer.

How great to have a boss
    who you know will watch your back,
Who makes excuses that you have
    so many nuts to crack.

What a thrill to be defended
    by Obama ev'ry day,
Like Johnnie Cochran and his team's
    entreaties for OJ.

But suspicion's running rampant
    that Obama's angling for
A Barney-Boehner bill where Tim
    would get a second oar.
