Old Mac's ESP
Infallible like Greenspan's?

My Friends:
I have read Obama's mind and know what tricks he's up to.
He's leading in a way the gods intended me to do.
I know he's going to tax and spend although he says he won't,
And with Al Qaeda financing he's making sure I don't.

"Hero" was a piece of cake: Daddy's PR pitch.
And "Maverick" was easy, but "Leader" is a bitch.
For leadership was not a course taught by the Viet Cong.
Or if they did, the mav'rick in me must have got it wrong.

"Mavericks" make proposals that they don't expect to win,
While "Leaders" all have causes, not just a grimace and a grin.
Anyone who's watched my long career has surely sensed
That anything I say I'm for I've also been against.

But Sarah Palin's diff'rent; I haven't known her all that long,
And it often takes a year or more to realize I'm wrong.
Still had I been consulted, think what I could have saved.
My ESP can usually spot a stylist who's depraved.

Fortunately Sarah's mind is easier to read.
She's in this for the credit cards for familys in need.
That hers would need the most, Rick had not anticipated,
Or that like Mrs. Marcos all her shoes must be gold-plated.

What else will I believe in, if elected, who can tell?
This mystery's the reason my campaign has gone so well,
Unlike Obama's tax plans which you'll only learn from me,
Because of what Buchanan knows as "Old Mac's ESP."
