Obama went AWOL when the fateful Benghazi attacks occurred. A Limerick.

WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says President Obama was out of touch completely the night four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in Benghazi, Libya.

In his testimony to Congress today, Panetta said that the operational details of the response, the decisions on what resources were available to help, and other decisions were left “up to us.”

Panetta, answering questions from Congress about the attack on the U.S., said except for a scheduled meeting with the president the day of the attack, Obama failed to communicate in any way with him that day.

Panetta said he simply didn’t hear from anyone at the White House. *

Obama went AWOL the night of Benghazi,

Did not order rescue, not even a posse.

So he went out of sight

In the dark of the night.

His care ends with actions that make him look snazzy.

The “no budget, no pay” limerick.

The administration is by law required to submit a budget the first Monday in February to congress for consideration. His last three budgets has failed to get even one Democrat vote. Is that the Republicans fault? In fact, Congress has not passed a budget in almost four years, only “spend as you go” with no checks and balances. That is how you can rack up six trillion in deficits in four years.

 

Obama is late with his budget.

He’s breaking the law, cannot fudge it.

The Republicans say:

“With no budget, no pay.”

That’s fair, so who can begrudge it?

Groundhog Day and the State of the Union. A Limerick.

state-of-the-union_gi_topOnce upon a time Air America Radio pointed out:

Obamascrawny“It is an ironic juxtaposition of events: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication while the other involves a groundhog.”

This gem was originally aired in 2007  but is much more àpropos today. Air America is now defunct, for obvious reasons, not related to this  quote. This year the state of the union speech will be given Feb 12, but seeing his vacation picture from Hawaii I could not help but make an observation:

Obama is looking a wee bit too scrawny.

Gone are the days when he seemed to be brawny.

He can’t cope with stress

So he works less and less.

Gets scared of his shadow, like Phil Punxsutawney

Obama the skeet-shooter? A Limerick.

obamaskeetAccording to Wes Pruden Skeet1President Obama hunts pigeons, not deer or ducks or even pigeons with feathers, but clay pigeons. He’s quite a marksman in a sport that attracts even the country-club elites. “Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time,” he says. “ I have a profound respect for the traditions that trace back in this country for generations, and I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake.”

Skeet2Obama the skeet-shooter? Contemplate this.

Camp David agenda: miss after miss.

He is firing blanks

for which we say thanks.

The trademark for Barry; his aim is amiss.

Obama mentions himself 63 times eulogizing Sen Daniel Inouye. A Limerick.

President Barack Obama used the funeral for Hawaii senator Daniel Inouye to talk about himself. In the short 1,600 word speech, Obama used the word “my” 21 times, “me” 12 times, and “I” 30 times.

Eulogize Inouye, one can ask: Why?

The praiseworthy words are but I, me and my.

There is none like Barack

On himself he looks back.

Narcissimus Maximus, he is not shy.

An excerpt is to be seen here:

Harry Reid blocks vote on Obama’s tax hike proposal. A Limerick.

Obama must think it is time to smoke weed.

McConnell said “vote”, but that old geezer Reid

put Obama’s proposal

in the garbage disposal.

We’ll go over the cliff, it’s Obama’s misdeed.

A limerick on why Obama won the election.

The exit polls from the 2012 election give an insight into why Obama won the election.

One fifth of the people said the most important thing was: “Cares about people like me.” Obama won those voters 82 to 17.

That makes me think what would have happened if Sarah Palin had been the candidate.

The Democrats were so worried about such a scenario that they had registered a “nonpartisan” party in all 50 states and got enough signatures to qualify in the event Sarah Palin was the candidate. Since she chose not to run in 2012 there was no longer a need for the Americans Elect party. The timing of the release of the hit piece “Game Change” was largely an effort to discredit Sarah Palin.

This calls for a limerick.

Who cares about people like me?

and fits the lead role to a T?

Sarah Palin’s the one

and she ought to have won.

The in crowd barked up the wrong tree.
