Obama's Gulf War –
Relieved?
Tony Hayward is…

What's relief for a cherubic Oil Mafia chief
Who wants his life back and is leaving the scene?
Did foot in the mouth plus oil in the Gulf
Raise concerns as to whether he's that squeaky clean?

Is it Tums for the tummy or more wells for relief
Of blown blowout preventers and out-of-work rigs
Where workers won't need unemployment insurance
If rehired by our carbon society's pigs?

It takes fewer employees to keep a well pumping
Than if does when you're trying to get the thing drilled.
That's assuming a firm like BP isn't skimping;
Then you have to add folks who can clean up what's spilled.

Constant relief well inspections we'd hope
Would make sure all new wells were just for relief,
If Salazar isn't still calling the shots
And MMS will stop giving us grief.

Yet relief for most Democrats still is Joe Barton
Who's been blessing BP for its stimulus plan.
He's proof that a blowout is his way of showing
His party's concern for the unemployed man.
